Oh, come on! It's a rabid sports kei car straight from the early 90s! The last car Soichiro Honda greenlighted! It's an NSX that could fit in the NSX's abysmal trunk space! Look how cute it is, acting tough but it's smaller than some fridges!

It doesn't have the insane whistling turbo of the Suzuki Cappuccino, and it's not as retro-futuristic as the AZ-1, but it has zebra interiors, ITBs, and it revs to almost 9000 rpm, so it's still well into subzero territory for me. The lack of power only makes it more interesting for me - it's a car that you can push to the limit without much risk of breaking the law. With its reduced weight, it's all about the grip and the acceleration.

Also, Mugen Beat anyone?

You do have a point, these cars are some of the safest MR cars you will ever buy. They hardly have any power to put its owner in trouble, and they are very alive in corners.

As for that Mugen Beat, take that Hong Kong license plate off and we have a deal. Not saying I hate Britain (or its license plates), but it just looks out of place on that front end. Also, why do those rims give me "snowflake-like" vibes?

And I screwed up. Curse you Hong Kong, you and your British ties! Just kidding, I'll correct it right away.

Thanks for clarifying. 👍 How did you know?

Ooh, I get it. I play Sleeping Dogs (which happens in Hong Kong) often, and that plate idea never crossed my mind? God only knows why I overlooked that, better remember that for the future.

UK plates are 7 digits long done in a 2-2-3 method

It will look out of place with the plate in any country since most if not all require a front rego plate.
 
All Kei cars are cool to me, so to get to SZ it has to be bending the rules as hard as possible, and I think this is one of those cars that did it.

Insta-SZ.
 
Quirky little thing, and despite the seemingly piddly specs it's actually not far off a decent little track car.

Cool, very high cool, imo.
