Great review. Just subscribed.

イギリスの皆さ～ん 円安の今がチャンスですよ～！
In the nineties, I lived in Japan, and worked in the Daihatsu Industry, Shiga.
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.
事故だけは気をつけて楽しんで下さい😊
Thank you 😁
I enjoyed the HubNut review - they were SO enthusiastic! Lovely little car!
I used to have a red Cinquecento and also had the Postman Pat comments quite a few times!
Awesome. I would love a Cinquecento. In red of course.
@LivetoDriveUK Pretty rare now. I had one new in '94! Would be nice to find an original one that has survived well.
Loving your wife's nods and smiles as you're talking lol
Fran is erm… very animated 😁
and thumbs-up as well Haha
@@LivetoDriveUK Lucky Man 😉
She's hilarious!
Fun fact: here in Australia, where we also drive on the left, the indicators on most cars are on the right. It's mainly weird European cars (like VWs) that don't. We do import a lot of cars from Japan, so that could be part of it.
Ah that's interesting. Nearly all of the vehicles here are on the other side.
My father said that all a car is is a metal box with 4 wheels and an engine to get you from A to B. No matter how it looks what size it is it is still a metal box with 4 wheels and an engine
If we are not into cars as a hobby then absolutely they are simply tools for travel.
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...
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.
@@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.

i got one similar to this but its the honda n box custom.. fun cars to drive
Yes they are fun. Love the N Box.
Love the pillarless near side,and the totally flat folding seatd.
15 inch wheel weqre quite fine till people started driving bigger heavier cars, the indicator is on the correct side if you come from australia.
Fair point and ok, didn’t know Australia uses the same side for the stalks.
My Tanto has 54 bhp which is all right for the roads in North Devon
They are absolutely fine in the UK.
The power! Drive 31bhp Honda Actys, now 39bhp Piaggio Porter diesel truck and 87bhp Copen 1.3.
@@keithhooper6123 Hi Keith. Hope your Copen is fine. My Millie Copen 1.3 is gradually gaining some track upgrades courtesy of my mechanic son.
I'm a Japanese living in Tokyo, but I like vintage British cars. I think the k-car is the best in the world in terms of fuel economy and convenience. I hope it will be officially imported to the UK🇬🇧😊😊
I love them. I do not think they will ever be officially imported to UK. Too many people are ‘badge conscious’ here and wouldn’t want to be seen in one. Their loss.
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.
As a person from Birmingham, England, we are not known for our pronunciation. Yes, we love Kei cars. Thanks for watching.
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?
Hello. Some cool models. I have not tried sedan models yet. There are not that many Kei’s in UK but there are enough passionate owners to enjoy them here.
タントの上位グレードですね。私が乗っていたタントにはこんなに多くのオプション装備はついていませんでした。
はい、上級グレードです。動画をご覧いただきありがとうございます
イギリスで日本の軽自動車が人気だと聞いて来ました。
日本と同じ左通行だしね😊
ここでは軽自動車に乗っている人もいますが、大きなSUVを所有している人もたくさんいます。私たちは軽自動車が大好きです。😁
おじさん、ドライブ楽しそうですね。そしてよくしゃべる、ず〜っとしゃべってる😅
なかなか渋い色の車じゃないですか。❤
I've heard that Kei Cars are very popular in the UK, but I can't believe it. Are they selling new cars? I'd also like to know what the dealers are like.
There are some kei cars here. A small number of places sell them. Have not purchased one from a dealer therefore don’t know what they’re like.
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。
Happy with the autos
タントカスタムはいい車なんだけど、オイル管理怠るとすぐにオイルを食いだす。オイルの減りが酷いのは要注意。
わかりました、ありがとう
今回走った道路の制限速度は?
60 MPH
速い!@@LivetoDriveUK
スズキのジムニーを知ったら、彼方はもっと驚くでしょう。
ダイハツのデッキバンを知ったら、彼方は感動するでしょう。
「彼ら」が「私」なら、私たちはそれらについても知っています
ナビはどうなっているんでしょうかね? UK仕様になっているんですかね?
ナビゲーションは日本のみです。時々、私が海の中を運転しているのではないかと思うことがあります 😁
周りに何もなくて長閑なところやね
今🇬🇧イギリス国内で、日本の径自動車🚙はどれくらい走っているの？
1000以上
@@LivetoDriveUK アメイジング
How are they on the motorway?
We have a video coming for that. But... Absolutely fine. Smooth and good on fuel. Happy to sit at 70MPH (or faster) all day.
@@LivetoDriveUK Yes, I was looking into them (which is what brought me here) and they get 55 to 60 mpg (US) depending upon whether you have AWD or not. But my concern was how fast they can go and if they get buffeted by cross winds.
@@curiousnomadic we use it to travel from Derbyshire to see family in Bristol. I haven't had any issue.
@@LivetoDriveUK So are they selling Kei vehicles in the UK now? Sure wish we could get them in the US. I was watching an Australian in Japan (Chani) and she and a friend tried to export one to Australia and ran into thousands in unnecessary costs like a silly $2000 asbestos check.
They are only here as some importing companies are bringing them here to sell or like mine a personal import.
🇬🇧イギリスはヨーロッパではなく環太平洋に引っ越して来るべきだ。
何で❛タント❜なんや❓
なぜだめですか？
@@LivetoDriveUK さん
語弊ある言い方であればお詫び申し上げます🙏。
まさか日本の軽自動車が海外で走ってんなんて知らなかったもんですから😓
私も申し訳ありません。私はGoogle翻訳を使用。はい、イギリスには少数の軽自動車があります。私たちは彼らを愛しています。😊
They aren’t as fuel efficient as you would expect
We are doing easy 50+ and have got 60mpg on a steady run from Derbyshire to Bristol.

Wiper action. LOL. Hubnut would love that.
He did love it…

そのうち、軽自動車 1番人気はどの車になるか気になります
@@つよしみき 私のお気に入りはスマートカーとタントです
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.
