Obviously the Hobio and Acty are kei (it's pronounced "kay", by the way). Get a ticket and come drive my shit. You can review my tractors, too. Hell, I even have a field by the Sugo circuit and you can take the cars there and pretend they're race cars.

"Kay", surely? I dunno about the smug smile thing you get in the states, but borrowing a Daihatsu equivalent for a while was certainly a fun, smile inducing experience. So long as you kept it under 65, where it developed a terrifying shimmy. The crazy seating position actually gives you a good view around in traffic, it turns like nothing else at low speed which lets you pull scary lateral G on city streets, the midengine design and fairly light upper body on top of a low-ride chassis means it's actually got a low centre of gravity and despite the worrying amount of roll you have to try really hard to get it to tip over... the mini-like wheel-at-each-corner design helps keep it planted as well. Though I dunno if I'd have been so gung ho if it was loaded up with cargo... using it as a commuter hack felt rather like cheating.

+PUU-TAAH Nin Nin It is more like "kay", yes. But it's just the accents and how you pronounce spellings. Someone who speaks English will say "key", and someone who is Japanese or a related language will say "kay". They're both acceptable. Hyundai is pronounced "Hoo-n-d-ie" in Korea, but English say all sorts of weird amalgamations of "Hi" "un" "yun" "die". And that's fine.

I had one of these in the late 1990s when I lived in Japan. Great car but boy was it gutless. With 4 passengers, it could barely go up steep hills. It had a huge interior and handled pretty well.

Dat Daihatsu Mini-Truk. Mmmmmm.. I don't know what it's like in the rest of the country, but around where I'm at in the back-asswards rural everything that is the corners where Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana meet the place is Lousy with grey-import Daihatsu Mini-trucks Exactly. Like. That one. Why? Because Jeeps and Tacomas have gotten too big and too expensive to go bouncing across the pasture doing farm-work during the week and then go bouncing through the woods Huntin' during the weekend, and side-by-side ATVs and UTVs are too Not-Road-Legal to replace them.

It's pronounced like the letter K. Not key. I drove a daihatsu atrai for about three years that is the same thing. It had a 550cc triple engine with intercooler and turbocharger, and 4WD. It was a great little car. My neighbor has a suzuki jimny that looks like a jeep, and it has a 550cc two stroke triple engine. It even sounds like an old suzuki water buffalo.

Too bad the Japanese safety standards on this thing is practically nonexistent. Less safe than a 90's Miata. The thing's basically a cardboard box. I wouldn't be driving this thing more than 25 mph since you're bound to lose your legs /w that lack of crush zone. No side impact protection either. Edit -fixed typos

+s50201 I would love one of these if I had some land and needed to haul stuff around said land. Otherwise I'd keep it off the road. I've seen them fold like a pancake in accidents when I was living in Japan. Speed limits are slow over there so I couldn't imagine getting into an accident at US speeds with large vehicles. Death trap on wheels!
