    日本では軽自動車が全体の四割を占めます。また中古車市場でも、(一部の)普通車より軽自動車のほうが価格が高いです。
    毎日何百キロと移動するのでなければ(また高速道路を走るのでなければ)、軽自動車のほうが圧倒的に使いやすいです。
    海外だと軽自動車は更に価格が高そうだな…

      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.

    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
      @LivetoDriveUK  Před 2 měsíci +2

      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.

      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.

    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.

    • @LivetoDriveUK
      @LivetoDriveUK  Před 28 dny +3

      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.

    Hello from Japan!
    I was an owner of Subaru Rex Combi 550 (NA M/T mission), first car I drove. My parents bought Vivio em-p (660cc NA; CVT), Vivio Bistro (660cc /NA CVT)and latest R2 four door (660cc /NA CVT -- close to your Tanto). Have you tried sedan typed K car before like Vivio, Alto, Mira, Lapin, etc?

    これは個人的な意見ですが、もう1台の輸入を考えていて、ATにこだわらず、特に走行性能を重視するならダイハツのX4シリーズがおすすめです。特にストーリアX4はターボエンジンをmtで操る非常にアグレッシブなホットKカーと言えるでしょう。その乗り味はいい意味の「狂気」と呼ばれ、ケータハム7にも似通っています。本体価格も関税や諸費用を除けばレート換算で約5000ポンド程度で輸入できる個体があります。
