my right ear enjoyed this video
Hahaha 😂
It has 2 batteries because it has the cold climate option, not because it has many accessories. This one probably came from northern Japan. Most Bongo Friendee only have one battery.
For the foot rest seat, just slide the front seats all the way forward, then flip the foot rest over to the front, and voila! You have two front seats facing back.
I live in Japan and used to own one, it was a great car.
That’s so cool!
What's the price?
got one in the uk they are wicked
Sweet!
Is the speedometer and odometer in your Bongo Friendee in miles or kilometres?
millage is in km and speed in km , in UK we have to put a overlay in mph to be legal to drive . You can have the odometer changed but not a requirement to be legal just the speed reading , Different countrys different rules so do some research. @@P00katube
Also got one in UK... Love it.. Converted in rear with a fridge double gas hob and sink..
It's in kilometers
the more you see here in the states we get junk
The ones we get from Japan are super nice usually.
Those 'footrests' are actually called 'Dickie seats'. If you wind the back of the front seats towards the windscreen then the rest becomes a little seat, quite comfy too. Also, swivel seats are not standard. They're an after-market adaptation. I have what's known as a 'tin-top', which doesn't have the lifting roof, but I'm under 5ft so it doesn't bother me at all, (also she can pass under most carpark barriers!) Best vehicle I've ever bought, easy to drive, bit thirsty, but well worth it.
9:25 nah bud, it's a four-speed. You literally say ten seconds later "it just went into overdrive": "overdrive" is FOURTH! 😂
I have this van here in the uk,
Full conversion, gas hob mini fridge, rock and roll bed.
Those so called foot rests are dickie seats.
Push the seat backs forward and you can sit on them facing the back.
My one in the UK has a fixed high top, cooker, sink , fridge,
Front passenger seat rotates through 180°, and a diesel night heater.
The rear seats convert into a double bed.( its known as a rock ans roll bed in the UK.)
Its also a 2.5 litre V6 petrol so its quite nippy.
It will cruise all day at 70mph on the highway.
Ive just spent 5 weeks in it travelling around France

please get out of my right ear
Missed the fact that the entire roof pops up for standing area
? there was entire portions of the video showing you can pop the top
At around 4.30 when you talk about the front seats swivelling - they don't swivel but you can sit on them in reverse so to speak! To do this, slide the front seats fully forward, then use the handle on the side of them to flip them towards the dashboard. Then in the back of the van, flip the 'footrests' over completely to face the front of the van as well. Then you can sit on them with the front seat providing the backrest. It is actually called a 'dickie seat'!
My husband and I are the proud owners of this here van... Bingo the Bongo!
Many thanks to Southeast Imports for such an easy transaction.
We flew to Chattanooga, Peter picked us up at the airport, and sealed the deal that night.
2 weeks and 4,011 miles later we got home to Portland, OR safe and sound. It gets 27-ish mpgs.😊❤
2 cool features not in the video - Bingo has a great ☀️skylight; and the front seats don't swivel, but leaned forward, those footrests flip to become rear facing seats.
Super cool to find this video. 🥰
I have some of those "cupholders" in my car and I just call them cup seats because they don't go all the way down like a normal cupholder
4:12 That light grey panel at the top of the shot is the sliding cover for a glass skylight.
the right ear has more audio then the left ear
I've learned a lot! Thanks
Where do you get these ?
