JDM import: 1996 Daihatsu Mira TRXX Avanzato Review

Mike was kind enough to offer a full review of his Mad little Nugget of a car. His 1996 Daihatsu Mira TRXX Avanzato! It's a blast to drive and has a ton of interesting features being a little Kei car from Japan. Hope you enjoy!

Great video and info from the owner. HubNut would like this car, he test drove a customized one in Tasmania a few years ago.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to check that out!

This generation of Mira is really underrated, to be honest.
I had a '97 base model as my starter car, and it was fun to drive with the simple stick shift and light steering (though, being a base model, it came without a power steering so hard turns felt harder at times). Wish more games get to feature it!

this is sick!

[@scaleRCworld]

Thanks dude!

[@scaleRCworld]

Yessss! Looks awesome dude. Great video and footage 😎

[@gearheadsyndrome]

Thanks man. It was a pleasure reviewing and driving it. Def a high water mark for the channel going forward!

[@scaleRCworld]

@@gearheadsyndrome no problem at all. I had lots of fun doin it. Thank you also. Hope to see lots of other cool cars in the future

I know someone who can get wheels that will fit on that car if he wants help. They are a jdm wheel supplier that ships from Thailand I believe but the owner is from nz.

[@gearheadsyndrome]

I'll let @candaiankeicar know! Thanks

[@scaleRCworld]

Appreciate it! I did actually find a set of wheels last month. I had to get them from Malaysia. Looks much better now.

[@Qill_Rider]

​@@scaleRCworldI'm from Malaysia and yes you can easily get body kit, Wheels & other parts in Malaysia because the Daihatsu Mira scene is really big here. Even Might Car Mods buy their Kei Car parts from us Malaysian. There's even a few crazy guy here who engine swap their Mira to 1.3L Turbo (K3-Vet)

Great video, that thing looks like a blast!!

[@gearheadsyndrome]

Thanks Benoit. It was!

[@bubblegumpaperboy9604]

so how big are you, how much space would a 2 meter guy have?

[@gearheadsyndrome]

I'm 180cm and it was a still comfortal enough for short daily use. Wouldn't recommend it for my height on a long road trip over 4hrs or for anyone over ~190 as a daily without customising the seat to move back a bit further.

[@gearheadsyndrome]

I don't believe this one has it. That's interesting though! Thanks

[@scaleRCworld]

Seriously? They have that to haha. This one doesn't but I did not know that.
