As a variation of my successful "Small Talk" thread, this topic is all about Kei machines. Whether you're into the Suzuki Wagon R, the Cappucino (of the same company), the Move, the Tanto, the Mazda Carol, or whatever, this is an open thread about the best Kei cars. So make your vote!
As the creator and a valid voice of opinion, I'll start.
Believe it or not, I don't have a real favorite. I think the Cappucino has to be the most sporty of the bunch. With that little grill and kind of alluring looks, the front-engine/rear-drive Suzuki Cappucino is actually pretty nice. I don't know if my 6'0" butt can get into the car, but it is quite sweet to get into. To me, its one of the few small cars that don't look seriously aggressive. I'd also nominate the Honda Beat for this reason. It is a mid-engined small car. So that means that it has some somewhat better handling than a front-engined car. I think with tuning, it can be better. My favorite from Daihatsu is the Storia. I may or may not know if it is indeed a Kei machine, but the Storia is the nicest Daihatsu I've ever seen.
Simple, huh? Now, it's your turn. Let us have it!
