Suzuki Cappuccino Review: The Little Kei Sports Car That Makes a Miata Look Huge 

It looked disorienting to be doing some of the stuff with your opposite hand. I’d be really overwhelmed.

Right hand drive becomes second nature so fast. For years I commuted in a lhd manual, daily driver was a rhd manual, and family car was a lhd auto...lol... And drove a rear wheel steer forklift at work and manual racecar for fun.

You do such a great job in your vids. Please do more!!!! :) BTW I just noticed you are wearing an Egyptian cartouche necklace? Does it have special meaning?

Love the shirt! my favorite color

It's was my daily driver for 20k back then , thanks for the video alanis !

ME TOO

Is it really called that? Or is it a fun nickname?

Yesh, please & thank u 🙏🥹

@@ShazeemKhan I had to check that one out and yes it is called that and has a Wikipedia page. I wasn't surprised as the equally sillily named Suzuki Whizzkid was sold here in the U.K.

@@AlanisKing lol how lame would it be if Doug gets a Mighty Boy on Cars & Bids and says "okay we will do a review of this car, who shall I get to do the video?......Kennan it's all yours". All jokes aside, I hope you can review one. I've never heard of that car before, would be cool to see.

I’ve watched pretty much all of your videos, this is a weird intersection of interests for me lol

Agreed!

​@@reflex8698 same here! Great to see you, Calum!

Bro- those all fit in a 1.5 car garage, feel free to fill the ither half, lol

@@jacobfritz8158fine, a Suzuki super carry then!

Aw! Thank you

Fear and fun!

Thanks for sharing!

"This is how I learned that people’s brains are often wired VERY differently." Yep. I've found similar down the years. LHD/RHD doesn't really bother me(I learned and drive on LHD). A couple of minutes and I'm fine. Driving on the "other" side of the road takes a little more initial concentration, but again after a while I'm fine. However and like you some I've known just never really take to it. As if it's far more hard wired in their brains? I know what you mean about indicator stalks. In RHD land many Japanese made and certainly JDM import cars have the indicator stalk on the right, but many if not most European cars don't(I suppose because they're designed as LHD from the start), so that could explain that British woman's confusion, if all she had driven before were Euro built Opals/Fords/BMW's. A friend of mine, who otherwise is a _very_ competent driver had a loaner car when his was with his mechanic, but it was a Japanese car and for damned near all of the three days he drove it every time he came to a junction his wipers would go on first. 😄 Then again, another friend of mine drives BMW's so that's never an issue as they don't use indicators anyway... 😜

@@MrGrentch My first two cars were Fords. A 1974 MK1 Escort then a 1980 Capri. For some reason they had the indicators on opposite sides.

@@MrDuncl You just took me back in time Mr D. 🙂 My dad was a Ford man and I learned to drive on his 83 Capri. I loved that car. Only a 1.6, but it was "Irish spec" so small engine because of our taxes, but with Recaro seats, pale metallic green, stripes down the side, a clock, mechanically adjustable mirror(only in the driver's side, no need to go mad) and a rev counter. Oh yes, _Fancy_ 😄 _Fantastic_ gearbox, near perfect driving position and lovely (manual) steering too. Practical too with the hatch. It was sold on in the mid 90's(I still regret that), but was still alive in 2003, so maybe it's out there somewhere... A friend's dad had a Mark 1 Escort, another had, and actually still has a Mark 2 RS2000. A car with a big heart and one of the most successful rally cars ever. Tbh i can't recall where the indicators were on the Capri. I _think_ they were on the left. Ours was built in Cologne, maybe the Brtish built ones were different? I do remember after a couple of other European brand cars getting into my first Japanese(import) car and initially having to remember the indicator stalk was on the right. These days I'm still kinda old school, as my daily is a Japanese import Honda Integra Type R from 1998 and has been since 05(almost by mistake😄). And in many ways harks back to that Capri; coupe, Recaro seats, _fantastic_ gearbox, near perfect driving position and yep, practical too. Though the Capri's rear seats were actually usable by adults. Well... small adults. And it's a lot quicker.😁

@@MrGrentch I suspect the difference was that the Escort was made in the U.K. while the Capri was made in Cologne. Yes the back seat was very useable. I once had six in the car (four in the back) for a short journey. My 1980 pre-dated rear seat belts. A car that I have driven recently which reminded me of the Capri was a BMW 420. Nothing like as practical though. I once easily fitted an unassembled single pine bed complete with mattress in the Capri.

It's hilarious actually

Happy new year! Thank you!

Bring me the Kia Cortado!

Sat in one a while ago must say it is a serious car, while sitting their my cousins 944 came to my mind. Shifter, Pedals, Materials all of good quality, almost as good as the porsche.

@@Senzenfrenz waw That is awesome! Lucky you. I always love a 944, for it to give you that vibe, says something, eh. The only 1 i sat in was a Dihatsu, Copa, I think?

Logistically you're not wrong

HAPPY NEW YEAR thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Aw! Thank you

That's what was installed on the car when I imported it from Japan, works just fine so haven't changed it

It's TINY

I've only driven LHD on holiday in the USA. It was it being an automatic which I found the most unnerving. I had hope to have a practice around the hire car companies car park but they had parked it right by the exit so it was straight out into Boston traffic sitting on the left of the car with a large brake pedal almost where the clutch should have been. A few days later we encountered a roundabout or circle. No problem to me, while non local Americans were sitting there exclaiming "what the heck".

Thanks 🔥

They really could have taken this concept and ran with it.

Omg! Thank you

Normal, so shift with left foot and hand

Next time!

Hahahaha

It does

It sure is!

I choose what I drive (in Texas), but the Cappuccino was a last-minute shoot in LA, so this one was picked by our content department. I got the assignment the day before and was like: "OK! RHD tomorrow!"

LOL

That is so kind! Sometimes there's not room, but sometimes there is. I'll add it in if/when I can : )

Thank you so much for the reply, It sincerely made my day!! I remember when you first made videos you would always have with “and with Alantis King “ and honestly now when a Cars & Bids video is posted and I get click baited when it’s not you haha I’m sure you see the stats with how long fans stay on the whole video with you vs with other broadcasters haha spreading positive fan girl vibes but it’s the truth. I can only watch you or Doug

They are a blast!

You can! I didn't think it would be easy, but it actually was for me

and anyone is supposed ot care?

⁠@@slowery43no

Infinite headroom!

You could probably re-enact the scene from the Simpsons with the tall man going after Nelson Muntz. "Do you find something comical about my appearance when I am driving my automobile?"

The hardtop IS removable

Thank you!

So true

Hey now!

Thank you so much!

It's 15

🥱 Wow first !. How exciting for you, 👦 your mommy must be so proud of you ?.

Thank you!

Thanks for letting us know.
