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 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. :)

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.

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.

I really think most of them are not so good-looking, but they are far from bad or useless. As cars, they are fun to drive, but not always comfortable

Yeah, it really depends on your taste of cars. Most young people likes kei cars for its ease of driving, small footprint, and cheap upkeep. Young girls don't like wide cars like benz, bmw or lexus,. They prefer cute and small kei cars :D Me myself don't ride a kei ;)

this is exactly what we need in the Netherlands even tho we are a little bit taller than the Japanese we are basicly 1 big city our max speed is 100kmh so that isnt much either and we have 17 million people on a small piece of land but there are some issues tho we are on the other side of the world and the germans will do everything to stop us from inporting these things to protect their own cars but hell they are bad fuel economy is trash relaibility is good but repair is very expensive so if there is 1 kei car manufacturer reading all this please import these make a lot of commercials about this introduce it to the people show em its safe and has actually pretty good space (exept for sports cars but you dont buy those for space anyway) srry for my terrible english my laptop is set on dutch so my text is all red

I see, thanks for sharing your situation there in Netherlands! You're in Europe so I bet euro cars will be the proffered cars there. I wish it was the same here in east asia where Korea, Japan and China all has different cars brand loyalty due to conflicts.

Those cars exceedingly accomplish the task of mobility: only for mature and smart markets. For the rest of the world there is the usual 2 tonne, expensive, cumbersome and unreliable junk.

I live in New Zealabd and i ove these tiny cars, love to have one, but likely to get myself killed coz there are so many sun on our roads, they are likely to not see me on the road and run me over. Otherwise I love the 660 sports version.

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.

My sister bought a Nissan Atlas camper truck, that was imported from Japan by a German company years ago, and she imported here to Sweden, it was very cheap but was very well maintained and in mind condition, it was a very lucky find for us. Compared to my dad's old 80's DAF cargo truck that he used to drive for work, it's tiny! But it's so spacious and well thought inside. We have gone to vacation in various countries in the Atlas :) it's truly an amazing vehicle imo! I really love Japanese cars

Wow! I think it's based off Isuzu which is an expert in trucks and diesel engines! I bet you can still get spare parts for it in case it needed repairs. Long live Nissan Atlas!
