AIXAM 500 DIESEL. lean mean fuel machine 

The fact that it pisses people of is enough for me to give it a thumbs up!!

Great little video,thanks for posting

Hello Gary,..great idea.. great little car.....looking forward to the solar version.... Thanks too for the invite....i will surely take you up on that...Have Fun ..Pete

Hi, good to see you. I think it is a great little car. And you are wise to keep it going.. Best wishes. E :)

Just got my own 2002 Aixam 500 superluxe diesel and I'm converted,I was that person "I wouldn't be seen dead in one of those cars" but I honestly love it,I have a smile on my face every time I'm out driving,definitely a keeper and time to plan some small road trips for the summer 👍👍

Love it Gaffer - and having known you for over 25 years, this is 100% YOU. Who wants to be normal anyway (normal people don't change the world!) Top stuff, top bloke :) Love to all xx

Gary, when have you ever been normal lol? That's why we love you guys so much. I love the car it's fantastic. Great video as always my friend. Su x

Hi, wow it's weird to see a right hand drive Aixam. I live in France, VERY rural, and after my mother died, I needed to get about. Problem - no driving licence. Solution? An Aixam 400 that I called "Felicity". She taught me to drive and did me for a year until the rear pulley started to fail. The cost of repairs was more than the car would be worth, so I traded in for an Aixam GTO (that I call Caoimhe!). But, yes, the fact that I can pull into a petrol station with a half empty tank and fill it for about €9 is kind of mind blowing. The French don't tend to give rude gestures. They just go around, at speed, on a blind bend, with oncoming traffic. I have a dashcam. One of these days it'll record something RU-vid worthy, and facepalm inducing. The only bad thing about Aixam (other than the racket) is the price. As a specialist car, they're horribly expensive. But, you know, something comfortable to drive *without* a licence? Yup. And, okay, it only does 45kph (a mite under 30mph, it's the legal limit), but that's fine. I'm not one of those people that smokes two fags, chugs a coffee, and leaves for work twenty minutes late. I just take my time, enjoy whatever is on the radio, and the scenery of the country roads and endless green fields. So, from one Aixam owner to another, 👍.

Nice! That is some pretty serious mileage! My son is right there with you on going green. He has a Chevy Volt (electric), and spent the money to put solar panels on his home.

LOL! Great quadracycle review! Trust me Gary, I don't think you are normal! That's why we like ya! If we were normal, we would be driving expensive cars we cannot afford to impress people we don't like and have a debt load relative to what our countries have!.. Now, if you could only get the Aixam car company to sponsor your channel you would be doing even better! :-) Keep the great vids coming! Y'all have a simply unbelievable day and God Bless!!

It's smashing fella

I have a Aixam A721 2005 with this same Kubota engine, i love it, very economic, with a big space to transport things inside.

It is one small car for sure, don't think it would take my big frame, lol, nice one here, cheers, john

thanks so much for popping by, please please feel free to leave a funny comment in making fun out of this car, laughter is the best tonic. In the past it has been called a tupperware special, a pram and many other names, i have been called all sorts of swear words by people caught up in the system where your image is seemed to be more important, my image is not as important than caring for the planet and i dont need a flashy car to make other things look big. Thanks BE FREE AND TAKE CARE ALL.

'Goes 55mph If the winds behind me' etc. etc. - lol you crack me up.

I'd love to buy one if they can just ship one to grygla mn. Let me know the price with shipping.... especially if they make a turbo diesel. 😊

Thats a cracking car !

Looks like a smart car :P

LOL you are normal in my world. This will be a car for the future. Have a fun day

My first car was a fiat 500, the old ones... loved that car, we called it Dougal, dont know why. Had problems with the exhaust shaking itself free from the engine. It even had a sunroof, a starter handle and choke handle. Oh those were the days, People are always in too much of a hurry to get places that they miss what it around them at the present. Enjoy your fire and stay warm.

We're could I get one in Scotland?

I LUV IT! :))

Interesting little car. I wonder if they are available around here. Best wishes Bob.

Here in France my Mega Multitruck van (also made by Aixam), has the same Kubota diesel. Unlike in the UK I don't need a drivers licence to drive it, so as a result it is supposed to be limited to 45km/h. Mine will do 55, as the dealer I bought it off delimited it slightly (it was sold like that). So very useful as a van, with the same low fuel consumption. More about it on my channel.

Nice, and you are responsible for slowing people down, so maybe they arrive at work more relaxed after having time to think about their lives... enjoy the fire, be well

Most accidents are on urban roads so the speed these do is safest.

I love it. I wish I had one, but they would never sell something like that in America, because they couldn't make the residual money off of it. I remember back in the eighties they came out with the Geo, that had a three cylinder in it but that didn't last long.

Not to discurrage you, but: 96 mpg is 108g CO2/mile . A Tesla model 3, that goes 4 miles on a kWh in the UK where electricity has a footprint of 250g/kWh, will emit 62.5g/CO2/mile, which is only 45.5g less! When you then factor in the 8 tonnes of CO2 manufacturing the battery for a Model 3 costs, you'd need to drive 177.000 miles before you are greener than your K-car. Most likely this will take you more than 10 years at which point the battery will need replacing, which means, you'll never be a net benefit to the world! If you have solar power at home, and we put its emissions to 0g/kwh, you'll only need to drive 74.000 miles, still in ten years or less before you are green. So getting an EV is not an improvement with your lifestyle! A Tesla is an improvement for a dim American driving around in a pickup, but live in a state where electricity is relatively green. Not you. Keep your nice car and save your money.

I see a lot of these here in Austria, do you know if they are made in Austria, don’t know why but I think it might be Puch, will have to have a look.

EPIC little car , 2nd class driving is better than 1st class walking .

The crossline is best to start with these are outdated / ok if your younger able to REPAIR yourself easy stuff oil changes brakes wheels

I’m getting one

Where can I get one

Yeah my mum Lupo 3l does 3,2l in 100km and my chatenet barooder ch 22 makes about 5-6l be

IM AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON THE SUBJECT,

Plastic, aluminium and 96 mpg. I am guessing they do not make them anymore :-(

We’ve just replaced Sonia’s people carrier with a Nissan Leaf, costs even less to run!

Yes f this people wt normal Car Aixam vs car 🔥

my corsa isnt much bigger and runs on fresh air, nearly haha. my car has nearly been killed on these scottish country roads, yours would die on the bends, but its great. who cares? I love different, mine is an auto, so its not so different )

Hi

Cars CAN be so clean and green and not fuel monsters. But the 'powers' who are paid to be wont allow them! My great granddad invented an engine that could run just on air, and I mean the use of oxygen around us (or as it used to be in those days) and guess what? He had a visit from the military (yes that's right) warning him not to go any further with it and they also took all his diagrams and notes! Needless to say, like many other planet friendly stuff it's a no-goer! Perhaps he should have kept the idea to himself, but that wasn't his way.
