Keis are SO fun and overlooked. They're very cheap! I saw an L500 Daihatsu Mira TR-XX Avanzato posted the other day for $4995. Absolute steal. I have an '90 L200 TR-XX and it is hands down the most fun car I've ever owned
That’s beyond awesome! I’m also interested. It is such a learning curve tho. Do you by any chance know if they built any 4 door 4x4 Kei suvs? I live in Massachusetts

This reminds me of the early-mid 90's where not too many people knew about cars. My uncle was being forced by my aunt to get a new car. So he sold on private sale for $500, his 1973 Datsun 510.
If your country has Mitsubishi Gallant, go for that.. because its essentially an Evo, but with slightly lower specs.. they're pretty much got shadowed by the Evos, so if you want an Evo alternative, get a Gallant. The next one is the Nissan Cefiro.. its just a normal sedan.. but if you're lucky, some of the models have a RB30 engine.. so kinda like a cheap skyline for family use
Man the starlet named toyota glanza in Mauritius was crazy last time I was in my home island 😂 I have friends of my family members that mod these, and tbh it's crazyyyyy! Gold red and black one with a body kit idk about engine but it wasn't stock at all!
Old or new jimnys are like jeeps in Indonesia But they're split into 2 models (katana and jimny) It's hard to see the difference unless you see the front axle 🤣
another thing you can talk abouut is bargain vintage. and the best one if you ask me (a total Volvo nerd) is the Volvo that doesn't look like a Volvo. the Volvo 1800. they came in a couple different flavors depending on the model year, there is the P1800 1961-1962) which the body was put together by the Jensen factory. probably the best looking out of the Cupé variants due to its really nice bumpers. then there is the best of the cupé variants, the 1800S 1963-1969). doubble carburettors, reliable due to being built in sweden instead of the UK, looks amazing and drives amazing even tho it doesn't have much power. next one on the list is the one that is the most fun to drive named the 1800E. more power, direct injected (1970-1972), still amazing to look at and the last of the Cupé variants. lastly do we have the rare one, the 1800ES (1972-1973), it is a shooting brake and there have been more Lamborghini Huracan built than there were 1800ES built. only 8077 rolled off the production line about 50 years ago which means that these cars are impressively rare, but take into account how affordable these are for how rare they are would I put them as one of the biggest bargain vintage cars ever. and I own one
I'd love to see more k10 micra builds, they're dead cheap, have classic 80s styling and they're super light so wouldn't require much more power to be decently quick.
Most Jimney in Jamaica have a lift kit courtesy of Wilmot Sport and every Startlet have some other engine in it, usually a turbo K24 with a K20 head. Lol
Oh yess the levin is awesome. My dad almost bought one 4 years ago but thought there might be a lotta fixing so he didn't. BTW he really said Jimmy not jimny
That Nissan President line 💀
Now I want one. Fack Japan I go to u!!
Pretty good 😂
In the USA?

Shhhhhhh nobody must know about this hidden gem
please delete your comment or else the car will become famous then o verpriced as fuck
Finally someone who recommended a starlet gt turbo, they are so underrated
EP82 GT and Glanza V are the best looking models honestly
And finally someone who ACTUALLY tells original and not mass orverrated cars that everybody wants
I need y’all to keep the starlet on the down low please
Are they reliable as a first car currently looking for a cheap first car that still looks nice

Starlets are really popular here in Sri Lanka. It's like the 350z over here.
Ye I've seen way too many of those Which weren't that modified
In mauritius too

As a Sri Lankan, fr though, Glanza V is even more popular
Thanksgiving walks do hit different
As one Australian on TikTok once said the Jimnys are a “MOVING HOUSE DEPOSIT!”
TOUGH JIMNY MATE!!!
No actually, he was calling the 79series Land Cruiser a moving house deposit
There's no way you pick nissan president unintentionally 😭😭
Got myself a Starlet, non GT but its still fun as hell to drive, highly recommend it
Nice, which one?
I drive a ep 91. it's also a fun car to drive
,but i like the older models.
Where at? I’m in Massachusetts thinking about buying 2 already imported cars
@@Big.W. bought mine when I lived in Texas, since they have a port there’s a few companies that sell them there
@@Revmotif it’s an ep-95, early model so it’s got the same body as the ep91 but has awd 😎
Love Starlets. I remember my mate racing one in his Escort RS Turbo in the very early 2000's, thing was rapid!
I hate how these are still expensive for me rip
Being a broke-ass car enthusiast is the pits, I'm there with you.
How about the Lexus ls 430 2003? Is it okay to modify,
A glanza goes for 7k here, man doesn't know what cheap means
You never waste my time and I appreciate it. Straight to the point with those God Lungs.
I had one of those EP82s, was so cool.
“ITS A FARKIN’ JIMNY”

Bro seriously the Nissan president reference was so smooth 🤣 Props for the Starlet/Glanza too!
Did not mention that Starlets are RWD. Likely a final holdout of the RWD compacts of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
RWD? Now you’ve that got my attention. Too bad they’re righthand drive though.
glad you mention the starlet, my father owned one

Way to give the JIM-NEE some love!
I learn a new, sick-asf jdm car every video of yours that I watch
Heyy 😂 who is having a “thanksgiving walk” with their cousin?
Finally someone recognized the starlet😂
The vip cars have grown on me. Mainly for their creature comforts. Love all the Kei cars. A City turbo or starlet would be a blast.
I love the starlet gt. Used to own one. It was a little pocket rocket
Man I have never seen these cars in my life but they look nice
As a person who owned Starlet GT's and Glanza V's highly recommended cars no matter what they are more fun
“FUKEN SUZUKI JIMM-NEY!!!”
That Toyota starlet looks really good
I got a 2011 suzuki sx4
It never broke down, not once in my life.
Still works

I never knew how much I wanted a Nissan President. I’m a sucker for luxury sedans
Not the Thanksgiving walk 😫😫
the starlet look like a mix of bmw subary and civic and I'm all for it
Ive owned 5 starlet gt turbos, they all cost me under 1500 quid each lol. Absolute weapons with a subaru td04 and some coilovers!
Him : cheap JDM
Also him : Suzuki Jimny 🌚
Those jimnys get sold so fast when They’re imported too
"Thanksgiving Walk with your cousin."
Ay, what did bro mean by that?

The Toyota starlet is a war machine I have a 1986 one and it is INDESTRUCTIBLE

What's your opinion on G37 and why does everyone prefer the g35 over it 🤔
Which car would you rather get,
a Honda Civic SiR or a Toyota Corolla 4GE
Ngl, the starlet looks like a nissan pulsar gti t and a subaru impreza from 2007 AND a mitsubishi gallant Vr4 combined... or am I just silly?
I've never understood why no one talks about the FTO GPX or GP Version R. Those V6s sound amazing.
Oh and the miata
the yota was also sold as Nissan Pulsar GT4
I'm dying with laughter 😂 when he said "#1 would not be GTR because it cost as much as a house"
But then killed me with "#1 would be a Suzuki 🧐"
Can we get a list of best modern, so like since 2010, jdm cars to buy like fk8, gr86, 370z etc…????? 👀
Can't wait to see the update for this video in 3-5 years
They do make 4 door starlet so if you do have kids its fine (idk if it reach American market or nah)
Can you do one for the Australian market? Ik you might not know it well enough but none of these cars exist here 😅
Yeah I have never heard of these cars in Australia
The Jimny is popular asf in Australia what are you talking about lmao. Also the idea of this video is about cars to import from Japan
@@michaelstewart9308 didn't know the Jimny was popular in Australia
@@michaelstewart9308 exactly, Ive seen all of these cars here in Aus several times
You will have to import them unless it’s the jimny or second hand
i have use starlet for daily in about 2 years with 2E engine and DCOE in it, it’s fun low fuel economy car 5 Litres for 65 km
You guys should do a video on the suzuki sx4
That Suzuki, i just saw one (Hamburg) these things would be epic to own / off road in
Old or new jimnys are like jeeps in Indonesia
But they're split into 2 models (katana and jimny)

Need more of this, but Alex needs to speak as fast as possible
Spotto already did a Suzuki Jimny
Bro my mom used to own a starlet and she said it was super fun even tho she doesn’t like manuals that much
Love a hatchback I'm from USA I'm not car guy like yall but show us all the sick hatchback from overseas
Never heard of that Toyota before but it looks amazing
another thing you can talk abouut is bargain vintage.
and the best one if you ask me (a total Volvo nerd) is the Volvo that doesn't look like a Volvo. the Volvo 1800.
they came in a couple different flavors depending on the model year, there is the P1800 1961-1962) which the body was put together by the Jensen factory. probably the best looking out of the Cupé variants due to its really nice bumpers.
then there is the best of the cupé variants, the 1800S 1963-1969). doubble carburettors, reliable due to being built in sweden instead of the UK, looks amazing and drives amazing even tho it doesn't have much power.
next one on the list is the one that is the most fun to drive named the 1800E. more power, direct injected (1970-1972), still amazing to look at and the last of the Cupé variants.
lastly do we have the rare one, the 1800ES (1972-1973), it is a shooting brake and there have been more Lamborghini Huracan built than there were 1800ES built. only 8077 rolled off the production line about 50 years ago which means that these cars are impressively rare, but take into account how affordable these are for how rare they are would I put them as one of the biggest bargain vintage cars ever. and I own one
i love the jimny, but is the model shown even able to be driven in america?
Any thoughts about an HHR
I'd love to see more k10 micra builds, they're dead cheap, have classic 80s styling and they're super light so wouldn't require much more power to be decently quick.
Love the street but can't find it anywhere. It's always the glanza being dold
Surprised the Starlet GT got in there 🎊🎉! They where alway a cool little hot hatch … but a little hard to extract Hp from ☹️🥺
Yo what are your takes on Kei trucks? I've been slowly but surely seeing more and more of them, some with some pretty sick mods.
The Jimny/samurai is one of the best off 4x4 you could ever buy. Ever
I like that Toyota. Reminds me of a golf
What’s a two inch mini skateboard of climate options?
Er34 cost is around 10-20k in japan
And yes still kept my FK8 Type R for anyone wondering 😅 both will be exceptional projects for the channel
Nissan President HG50 one of my dream cars😍
What about the Suzuki cappuccino or a Toyota Cresta?
Do Australian cars next
Pre-83 Toyota Stsrlets are RWD. The 3 door would make a sick K swap or something.
If you manage to find one in a good condition. Both in Europe and in Japan a lot of them have been modified
It’s because they used mini coopers in the original Italian job. Which was an extremely influential early ‘car guy’ film
For those looking to import, you can’t import new cars or cars that are not over 15 or so years old
Jimnys apparently rip it up in the dirt as well and heaps of supporting mods and of course Alex we want more
Most Jimney in Jamaica have a lift kit courtesy of Wilmot Sport and every Startlet have some other engine in it, usually a turbo K24 with a K20 head. Lol
Starlet but really no mention of the gti gtx or gtr versions that were awd? The gtr especially was incredibly strong.
nissan pulsar . I have only seen one irl here lol. I see him every once in a while, I wish I could talk to the guy
surprised you didn't mention the toyota century
Where can I buy a house for the price of a gt-r?
What is the “Thanksgiving Walk” with your cousin?
Suzuki kizashi can also be included
I feel like the nissan president could make you look rich asf
I'm surprised u said the Jimny and the ep82 that's good man, honestly I'm thinking about buying an ep82, but I'm more thinking about the ae101 levin
Oh yess the levin is awesome. My dad almost bought one 4 years ago but thought there might be a lotta fixing so he didn't. BTW he really said Jimmy not jimny
opinion on the hyundai coupe
I mean, what about an old lexus ls400? Those are pretty cheap, and can be made into a decent powerhouse of a car that's also really reliable
The Nissan President is very sharp. Ride around like a Yakuza Boss💯
the fd civic is also a pretty good option
Everybody hates suzukis but they are so damn reliable and practical and also cool it hurts
