Mazda Autozam AZ-1 review and tour Gullwing Kei Supercar

Check out this epic long (12min is a big deal for me!) review and look at the wonder that is the Mazda Autozam AZ1, a kei class gullwing, micro supercar!
There are a total of 3 AZ1's in this video.
The Red AZ1 was imported for IG@3cyltrbo
The blue car was a '92 I had for my own inventory/enjoyment for a couple of years, and during that time it underwent a sympathetic resto.
And then there are some shots of a current AZ1 that I have at the moment which Carphonix and I are working at restoring.
At the end I credit some friends and journalists.
My friend Gatlin can be found at / carphonix
On instagram, my own handle is @bonsairides and friends mentioned at the end of this video are @mugenbeat @m_scolaro @jgoncalves_gtr @3cyltrbo @lesley.wimbush @theadventuresofclayton @sandhucandoooo

I think that was the most comprehensive review and explanation i've ever seen on this car. In just under 13 mins, you've explained much more than any other channel with none of the fluff. Thank you so much for this video

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

Thank you very much! I spend a lot of time editing these essays down to try and stay concise and it is really nice to hear that is appreciated!

[@icandoit20]

That was a quality video. I feel like I know everything there is to know about these cars now. Had no idea they're worth so much money.

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

icandoit20 awesome! Goals!! Haha and yeah, shame about their values

[@sarahdell4042]

Quality video. I love these little things

[@OctaneMonkey]

Well Done 👏👏👍 . This is the best AZ-1 video on KZbin!

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

Thanks man! Only took me several years of ownership and multiple Autozams hahahaha

[@ilikespacedinosaurs]

Such a cool car

[@Pichuscute]

Never wanted to drive or to have a car, but man realizing this car exists really makes me second guess that.

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

Glad I could help introduce you! You should try driving one!

[@Pichuscute]

@@BonsaiRidesImports I definitely want to sometime!

[@m.cooper1854]

Thanks Craig. Great video and JDM history lesson. Unfortunately, my Best Before date has expired in terms of being able to get in and out of an AZ1.

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

Oh cool I'm glad you like it. Thank you! A Keitora is going to be a lot more comfortable than an ABC!

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Awesome looking car. I've heard of the Mazda Autozam. But I've never seen one in person. :)

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

Cool man! There is no substitute for driving/experiencing, but they are pretty special cars to view

[@jasoncarpp7742]

@@BonsaiRidesImports I agree. Pics hardly do it justice, nor do videos. I imagine they'd be even more fun to drive. :)

[@MoskusMoskiferus1611]

The Blue one looks Perfect

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

It was a lot of work, thank you!

[@JamesSleeman]

One of my dream cars, just wish they were more affordable. I drive a Midget II so an AZ1 would be pretty spacious ;-)

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

James Sleeman such a fun car. I have a Midget II as well which is much slower, but roomier!

[@CalebOrvik]

Imagine one of these with a rotary swap?!?

[@ultrasupergeek]

Did you take any video of removing/assembling the body panels? Starting to look at doing paint on mine.

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

yeah.. but did you like this video?

[@Gravengaard]

Nice story!! Are you going with the yellow one then? :)

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

Rune Gravengaard cool, thank you! Yes the yellow one is my current project. It was originally red, and will be restored to red again. Lots of new parts here and in transit for that car as it goes back together

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

Are you Mr Sparkle AZ-1 on IG??

[@Wesley_C]

So cute sporty car, it compared by honda Beat.

[@singlemaltwsky]

If I fit, I would own 3 of them.

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

Jonas Jasinskas larger than life, just a bit cramped for some 😂

[@giannispilios288]

Question for everyone who knows, is this car coming with a left steering wheel? Please answer me if you know.

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

No, PG6SA chassis were made only for the Japanese market; RHD

[@shaiyasharahla9198]

Selling the next one perhaps?

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

ThatGuy Sheed my blue one did sell. I am prepping another that should be for sale this summer, yes

[@shaiyasharahla9198]

@@BonsaiRidesImports awesome. Great video! I'll be keeping an eye out. I'm very interested in AZ1. How can I stay posted?

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

ThatGuy Sheed glad you liked the video, thank you. I’ll put pictures on Instagram @bonsairides when my next car is reassembled. And if you want further info, email [e-mail]

@@BonsaiRidesImports I emailed you.

if you can't afford a 5 liter supercar then buy this 0.5 liter "superb"car.
