I like trying to find quirky cars in the US. A few years ago I found an AZ-1 at Heavy Seas in Maryland. Super cool car, and the owner was 6’4”. It wasn’t his daily but he did say he drove it on several trips to North Carolina.
He said they were all terrifying haha.
I’m 5’11" and I think that’s about as tall as I can imagine being to comfortably drive my Prelude on a regular basis. I can’t imagine being 6’4" and driving an AZ-1.
Kei cars are so adorable. I especially love vans. I’m getting me a Honda Acty one day lol
I’m probably the perfect size to drive a kei car. (Unfortunately around 5’2’) With kei vans, I really love the Subaru Sambar. If I had one, I’d custom paint it so it would stand out even more.
I’m trying to justify a Jimny. It does everything I need it to but safety is…….to be desired lol.
I was just thinking of this car. I’ve been replaying Gran Turismo 2, and last weekend I beat all of the model-specific races, which included this. I always thought it looked like a bumper car.
Never realized the doors opened like that. That makes it a lot cooler.
It’s kind of weird. The picture makes it look small, and everyone that knows of it knows that it’s small.
But it’s small small lol.
One of those cars where I love the look and the idea, but unfortunately I am both poor and 6’3. It’s just not happening.
I think he said he was around $8,000 all in. But he did get a more beat up one and this was a few years ago. Before the import craze imo.
I like them, but too many people drive giant trucks and SUVs without paying attention to what they’re doing that I’m afraid of getting pulverized.
Someday, I will buy from carfromjapan…
