These little van solve so many problems, sad to see these things disappearing from the roads. Also....great to see right hand drive driving on the right - this is the best configuration for me
What a great thorough review! I'm looking at buying a 1998 Daihatsu Atrai RT Turbo while I'm stationed here in Japan 🤙 Doesn't have the cool roof, but still turbo manual 😁
Congratulations A Chile llego un modelo similar a fines de los 80' Dahiatsu hijet 1000cc engine 3 cylinder muy buen vehiculo utilitario ,de baja mantencion y muy confiables Te felicito,todo un hallazgo Best regards
Is it legal/realistic to get these on the road in California? I am absolutely in love with these things! But I fear California will say I can't drive one so as to protect the environment (all for combating climate change, but it seems silly that a low income worker can't drive this while some rich asshole can pay for a whole fleet of polluting semi-trucks to make him money to pay for his polluting private jet flights)
Wow what a gem thanks for sharing :) Are these hard to get parts for? Is it hard to find a mechanic who knows how to work on it? Thanks for a response!!!
Parts are available you just have to know how to get them. I guess any mechanic that takes pride in his work can work on it, i would not take it to Jiffy lube or something like that ))) I work on them all the time, and I'm not special. I guess if you blow the motor then it would be a different scenario, but changing a timing belt or spark plugs is the same as on any other car. Sincerely, Tony.
I'm looking at getting one of these mini vans, I like the clear roof and sunroof this has, but I like the Honda which doesn't have this. Any suggestions on what other brands I should look for?
Greetings and congrats by your superbs videos and cars. Can you do a comparative between the Daihatsu Atrai and the korean Kia Metro Micro Van 7 (Asia Towner)? They seems to be the same project/car..
How much to kei vans similar to the condition of this one run for generally? I know there is obviously a range of prices based on how desirable certain models are, but I was curious as to how affordable these types of vehicles are. Thanks!
zakyum That *whoosh* sound? It's the sound of built-up air pressure from the turbocharger being expelled. All turbo cars do this, but a vehicle of this vintage won't have the modern technology that keeps the noise to a minimum.
lol so many lulz with this one. The way you pronounced "Atrai" sounds like "I try". This little van sure does try. Even have turbo blowoff. Sounds mean, but it is gutless compared to some modded JDM cars, but it tries.
19:37 This feature is genius for when youre on a road trip. Such a clever and useful idea.
I'm totally in love with this tiny nugget of JDM van goodness!

30:00 power exit, dang that little van is a beast
Love these Kei videos. I would be too tempted to edit the badges to say Atari.
29min 55 sec is where I really fell for this car ... I want one.
It looks like it was in a factory 5 mins ago.
I would love to drive this little thing!

Your site has some incredibly well preserved cars. Do you have a Twitter feed? Do you post prices?
Old car but looks very well maintained

great cars. great videos
I haven't seen any recent vehicles posted on your page for a few months....any more of these vans coming down the pipeline? I'm in the market for one.
What are the prices on these tiny vans?
depends on what van and who is selling it and what condition. I've seen some for as little as $3000 USD and some as much as $20000 USD
