    Small cars done properly, love them.
    At the moment I'm going to stick with my Mini, though I'd love a tiny Daihatsu as an everyday vehicle.

    i owned kei cars and i still got 1. the turbo mira is very reliable. and the fact that it got another configuration like the 2 doors or as it called the cuore has a very interesting 4 cylinders 600cc turbo engine. really fun to drive around. you can make it as your daily drive. cheap fuels. would love to get 1 someday

    @galex50 They do, they just mix it with insanity.
    Like having vending machines on every street but very few drunks, small economical cars that are also fun to drive and the way everyone just accepts that recycling is the most sensible thing to do.
    Then again you've got to love the way you can buy two sizes of coke for the same price and game shows like Gaki no Tsukai, ridiculously funny.

  • @kernals12
    @kernals12 12 лет назад +1

    as an American, I am physically incapable of taking these cars seriously, in a land where the widths of roads are measured in miles rather than feet (that's metres to those on the metric system) these cars' tiny sizes are rarely going show any advantages

      Actually Mitsubishi bring to US the mirage, but nobody (the host of the car's tv (inter-nerd) shows like it. It's a 3 cylinder, with everything you'll need, but they say it's garbage... So sad, I love compact cars.
