Excellent review-best I have seen on this funny little car; especially useful to know you are about 1m88; I am around the same- 6 foot or so- so I should fit ! I think I will get one !
Great tip! Will try. However it can not work because latches must be operated manually. Perhaps if the latches were already opened manually before but that would decrease the practical benefit to almost zero, would it not?
Thank very much for the video, it shows the things that others normally don’t. I’m about to buy one soon, I am 80% convinced that I’m going to do so but it depends on its condition. Next Tuesday I’m checking it out, can’t wait!
Depends on the foot, acceleration and speed combined with top down can also see you 8.8. If you drive 100 kmh it will be around 6 with top down. With top up better ofcourse
@@byspartanlaw tank you very much for your response. Those are pretty good numbers, with mild driving I think it can be a pretty efficient car. I have seen that they are prone to rust at some places, specially in the trunk bottom, under the car close to the catalyst converter and random spots. I hope yours is fine and has a healthy chasis, later models appear to be less prone to rust.
Sure thing, especially compared with mx5 miata roadster. Also insurance and road tax is less. The 1.3 is a bit better protected indeed. But in the base a Kei car is JDM only and in Japan they don't use salt in winters

Great choice for a fun car that is super agile and fun and doesn't break the bank
If you press and hold open button on key fob, after a couple of seconds the boot will open. :)

Hope it will be fine. It is a nice car if it suits your needs
@@byspartanlaw definitely, can't wait to check it. Btw, how is fuel consumption? is it around 5-6l/100km overall as advertised?
