This is a type of car for very defensive and discreet drivers, obviously because it is exposed to severer damage in the event of an accident. Otherwise Kei-car is answer to the hard times with skyrocketing car-related cost not least fuel cost. Government must reduce vehicle tax for this type of cars which weigh no more than 700kg. Another reassuring factor is, as mentioned here, that the Japanese cars are generally manufactured (and maintained) to withstand the most rigorous MOT regime in the world. Kei is exact opposite of EV/Tesla on many levels.

Totally agree. It would be good if the Kei car had better crash protection but as a car otherwise, it is probably the only car most people need.

You can't beat simple motoring, I'm always looking for city cars to see what I want to buy next.

I do love all sizes of cars but must find smaller cars the most fun based on the fleet. They are typically cheaper to run and are so much fun to keep the pace on a twisty B road. We don’t need multiples of 100 horsepower to have a laugh.

@@LivetoDriveUK The Subaru Sambar/Sumo, with its rear-engine design (Rear engine Rear drive), was remarkably quiet and free of vibrations, resembling an electric vehicle. The Sambar offered a smooth ride quality that was surprising for a commercial kei truck/van. However, due to the high costs associated with the rear-engine design, the production of the RR Sambar was unfortunately discontinued on February 29, 2012. If it were still being manufactured today, it would undoubtedly be the best choice.

My Tanto has 54 bhp which is all right for the roads in North Devon

They are absolutely fine in the UK.

What a lovely surprise to see you and Fran out for a drive in Keiko this morning, a great start to my day, I do love that fact that your into the N box and are so in love with Keiko that you'd buy another Kei car, without getting into to much detail I really enjoyed this video, so glad you got the scuffs n dents fixed, I'm into paint so I understand your painters frustration, but as long as your happy that's the main thing. Keiko is looking so good but I'm so partial to that color anyway. 60 mpg is a great number, we could all live with that. We saw a Honda Kei (box) car the other week, it was a little worse for wear but that's expected when the car has to be at least 25 years old to be imported here into the states, I gave the young guy the thumbs up, other drivers were smiling and interested too. I do love the Tanto but the Honda N Box and Suzuki Spacia also have lots of appeal to me. Thanks for posting, you guys have a lovely week. Lust is good lol. Lanoguard guy so cool, loved it... a great editing job...

@LivetoDriveUK Ай бұрын

Thanks. Would certainly buy another, space (relatively speaking) and money permitting. Love the Canbus we show on the video. Yes 60mpg on a ‘good drive’ is good. Certainly doesn’t drop below 50mpg. Have you seen @HubNuts video on our actual Tanto? Both Ian and Carly loved it. Thanks for the continued support again. It’s appreciated.

@rbnhd1144 Ай бұрын

@@LivetoDriveUK Oh Yes I watched that weeks ago, I was so glad they loved it, I can see you really fancy the Canbus, I do like Daihatsu as its in the Toyota family, plus most are really good looking vehicles, I always liked the larger boxy Materia and its cousins the Toyota BB and Subaru Rex. Thanks Paul.

As a Japanese person, we're happy that people all over the world praise "K car". By the way, I feel something is off about the way you pronounce "Kei car". If you pronounce it correctly, "K car" is appropriate.

@LivetoDriveUK 8 күн бұрын

As a person from Birmingham, England, we are not known for our pronunciation. Yes, we love Kei cars. Thanks for watching.
