- As you know i'm a HUGE FAN OF ALL KEI CARS but in my opinion the vans are the most complete kei. I feel like i don't show enough Subaru's on my channel so in this video I wanted to test drive one on the streets and highway along with going over about 5+ Subaru Sambar Kei Vans and trucks and comparing them all from top to bottom!

15:16 - 16:44 Final Thoughts - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
KV3=rwd, KV4=4wd. Sambar vans drive best because of the independent suspension on all four corners and good weight distribution with the engine in the back. Also, remove the rear headrests and the rear seats fold perfectly flat into the floor. Front swivel seats are also an option, albeit rare. As for the speedo marks - those are the redline points for each gear. And yes you need to drive a supercharged Dias, has extra 10hp, speed sensitive electric power steering, and higher torque that peaks at 3800rpm and stays pretty flat instead of peaking and dropping like on the carbed ones. There's a 3rd engine option too, non supercharged fuel injected, it replaced the carbed one in late 1995. That dark green classic that's being serviced should have it - the giveaway is the moustache shaped rear chrome garnish.
THANK YOU!
@@johnmonk66please explain he seems knowledgeable
It’s even got a lil Hawaii license plate, these are cute
I really love the sambar man that's the coolest Kei in my opinion ❤
yeah definitely top 2. i need to own one like i did for the bravo to see its its really #1 IMO
@@Waybeforethefame the supercharged one
@@elzanomercedes1537 yeah i need it to be Supercharged lol
Had one it gives more attention then any american car or sportcars.
I loved it :)
Kei is the way!
I always wonder why don't they make a van with similar features (rear mounted engine, two sunroofs, excellent visibility etc) but much larger. A full size Subaru Sambar XXXL for EU and NA markets.
Re Subaru being planted: being a 4 cylinder makes a lot of difference in terms of driving dynamics compared to a 3 cyl. The engine action is more even compared to a 3 cyl. A 4 cyl is also quieter than a 3 cyl. I don't have a Subaru or any kei at the moment, nor a mechanic, but I do drive a 3 cyl 1.2 liter cvt gas car, a 4 cyl 1.6 liter manual diesel car, and a 4 cyl 2 liter automatic gas car that's why I can tell :)
I think my 3 cylinder DOHC bravo drives better than the subaru but its DOHC. Outside of that yeah most subaru's being 4cyl drive and ride much better
I don't have a legitimate justification but I'd love to own a 4WD kei van. So cute and clever, with so much usable space. I just got back from breakfast and saw several people checking out my old 1996 Hijet in the parking lot and got two enthusiastic thumbs up on the short trip home. It'll probably get more attention after I paint it, lift it, new tires, LED light bars, ammo can tool boxes, etc.
I think everyone gets a kei truck first then realizes a kei van is better unless they actually like the pickup bed. I have no use for it
@@Waybeforethefame - I had a couple of VW vans back in the 80s and used them as way under powered trucks, but I'm a truck guy. I live in town and only need a truck maybe 1% of the time, but for me, it's worth the limited cab space and other truck drawbacks to have that bed on the rare occasion that I need it. I can't haul small trees to the dump to be shredded into mulch with a van.
@@Waybeforethefame good thing I bought a van first a kv4 Subaru Sambar and it’s coming in a few months, I thought like the van is gonna be more useful to put things inside and I loved the sun sun roof, weird name, but I ordered it and maybe later I’ll get a kei truck but for now van is gonna be my daily driver.
I have a 96 DIAS II arriving from Japan in September, fully loaded w/ 5 spd, super charger and glass tops, it will be living on LI in Nassau county
NICE! Happy you got the 5SPD and not the ECVT Junk
Great video
Is the 92 DIAS II available ?
Bring it back to NY
I got something even better in mind!
And with the fame, I don't know how to get a minivan or a mini truck like that and I would like to do a video with you
I didn't know they had a Mitsuoka version 😂 is there a Mitsuoka BRZ too perhaps?
Mitsuoka FTW
Do you actually sell these? If so then why do you never show asking price? Seems you are in Hawaii, so it will cost a lot for shipping. Any dealers in the states that someone might see cost?
I don't sell anything, Im just a guy who travels all over the world and makes videos on kei cars and how much I love them
Stable and planted?? 4 wheel independent coil spring suspension and almost perfect 50/50 weight distribution...
thats what i was looking for lol
What do the supercharged models usually go for?
Safe to say 2500+ over their carb'd counterparts.
If it’s auto maybe little under 10k if it’s a clean manual over 10k. But also depends on where in the country you are
Are you still in Hawaii? I'd like to show you my Suzuki Every from Allthingz....
Hey im sadly leaving in a few hours, i remember your sweet white suzuki with the aero kit deff need to see it next time im here
Jason moran told me they're no good for out running a gunmen.
Dam Jason
4 coils..no leaf springs...independent suspension
