[@Kamuichan99]

In autumn of last year, I visited an import trader for Japanese cars in Germany and took the chance to sit down in an Daihatsu Tanto of 2005. I'm actually 2,00m tall and I had absolutely no problem fitting either in the front or rear seats. The packaging that Daihatsu created is simply brilliant and is an art that many makers nowadays fail to deliver - most recent Toyotas get more and more narrow. But the Tanto doesn't seem to be the only Kei car to have made it's way to Germany, the only country without a speed limit. Recently I've seen an Honda S660 being sold from an Honda dealer in nothern Germany and another S660 being imported to Germany from japanese car auction. Also Honda Acty is becoming popular here for fans of the brand. Besides Germany, kei cars seem also be very popular in Pakistan and Russia as overseas parallel import markets.

[@kendelion]

Thanks for sharing your experience with a kei car. I hope kei cars become more common to save on space and fuel. I hope to hear more soon about kei cars in Germany! I also drive a Mercedes Benz and love cars from Germany! Hope to get a BMW too

@@Kamuichan99 trucks aren't popular in Europe unlike in America. I don't se VW Mercedes BMW or other companies making trucks. SUVs and Vans but not much trucks. Japan has these kei trucks, toyota and nissan has world popular Hilux and Frontier etc. VW has a truck but never saw one yet

[@Kamuichan99]

@@kendelion That's correct. Most popular segments here are compact class and SUVs now. Pickups as Ford Raptor, are by far not as popular as in the US. (Mercedes builds the X-Class, VW builds the Amarok). The Honda Acty is popular in german Honda community, because it's small size and yet still 4WD ability. In Japan it's normal that most cars from Kei Car to LL Vans have FWD/RWD and 4WD available as option. In Germany only few cars outside the SUV world offer 4WD. :)

When you talked about the off-road kei cars it reminded me of the Daihatsu rocky that my brother used to own, it's a soft top and we went to the beach all the time when I was little, it brought so many good nostalgic memories :) He sold it 3 years ago but the new owner is taking very good care of it, these 90's cars need to be taken care of cause they're not made anymore

[@BronyumHexofloride]

with the rising numbers of drivers in western nations Kei cars or at least the concept of Kei cars could help reduce the issues we have with overcrowding and oversized SUVs in parking areas

I hope so, kei cars still can't compare to the safety of having a bigger body size, but in cities where traffic is slow, kei cars are still better for people besides public transportation.

Kei cars should be the car in the Philippines...SUVs and huge Vans that looks like SUV are dominant here for the most car users here and it sucks because of the forever traffic jams....and SUVs eats a lot of road space together with Buses and modern jeepneys ....I can imagine Kei cars can help provide additional lanes in some major roads here....or maybe end up the torture of traffic jam in EDSA....

I love Kei cars, I owned a little daihatsu coure (admittedly a 1.0l N/A with similar power figures). It was so chuckable and pokey in tight spots. Even going up to a supermini like a Nissan March/Micra feels heavy and static. I currently drive a Daihatsu Materia (Coo) which while quite a lot bigger than the Kei cars but fits that Japanese space optimisation, aka "boxyness" which has made it so practical and fun. I'm really sad that Daihatsu pulled out from Europe in 2010! I'd like to upgrade to the Thor one day with the big grille xD.

[@kendelion]

That's so awesome! That's what kei cars are good at, tight spots and light nimble body. Daihatsu coo is a Toyota Bb in most market that competed with the honda Fit. It looks cool i like the big bear style of it! Sadly toyota discontinued it...

There’s companies who import them here, then we just buy them like a regular car dealership. I just mentioned importing because it raises the price a bit. I want one as a cheap work car.

[@kendelion]

@@christhompson4950 Cool how established importers there! Sambar what year model? They stopped making kei cars and buys from daihatsu now so old parts may be hard to find. If the place you buy it from gives warranty or also imports engines and parts then tere shouldnt be any problem. Sambar is popular here and old ones are being scrapped because of taxes. If you want peace of mind of parts and quality, get a suzuki daihatsu mitsubishi honda kei, their models are more abundant and still makes parts for it. Sambar has a 4cyl NA SOHC engine vs 3cyl na/turbo from all other so that might be a plus for you!

[@christhompson4950]

Around the 90s. It is cool how they have dealers like that but they’re spread out. It’s a big country so it’s a long drive. I’m fine with anything as long as it has 4wd as it’s very snowy and icy here. I’m only leaning towards a sambar because I’ve noticed that they’re cheaper here. A lot of those important companies have KZbin channels. I’ll try and find a link to show you.

Now there are Mitsubishi EK X EV and Nissan Sakura - launched in May this year. Probably have higher initial purchase price but running cost should be cheaper. In New Zealand charging our EVs are already a lot cheaper compared to internal combustion engine equivalent models. Servicing our EVs are also cheaper thanks fewer moving parts. Personally the instant torque off electric motors of these two EVs I've mentioned convince me, 0 - 100 kmh on Kei EVs is somewhat similar to 2.0 L non-turbo inline 4s. BTW our EV is NOT a Tesla nor any Japanese eKeis.
