The Reason I Love Kei Vans + Suzuki Every Joypop Overview & Pov Drive! 

I agree

Ye

Me to

It's the little things lol. 90% of kei van interiors are all pretty much the same, Roll up windows, slit seat, no cup holders etc etc

OMG WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

Mahalo! Tell em waybeforethefame sent you Slater will hook you up!

Thank You!

Right on!

Super clean

I’m going to the Philippines in 2024 I hope I can find some to make videos on

​@@Waybeforethefame shoutout for more on your Video Vlogs and try to explore also in the Philippines in Mindanao in Cagayan de Oro City and they have also many Kei Trucks for sale available in different Surplus in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.

Coming soon!

Yeah i made a video on one, Top 5 kei car i ever drove ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BIh4dC1U82U.html

@Waybeforethefame Nice review, you covered all the highlights. If you thought $8500 was a steal for one, you'd be shocked to find out how cheap they sell for in Japan. We have similar tastes in kei cars. I'm all about the short boxy turbo vans and hot hatches. They got even better in 99 thru early 2000s, I can't wait until we can import the Daihatsu Copen.

yeah I know Japan is cheaper but I like buying them stateside. im not a fan of buying cars unseen and waiting months. I also can't wait for the Copen!!@@arroyoautosales8068

They’re all mid engine like the Acty streets. Very underrated

This is a good idea maybe ill do it on the next one

I just googled that yeah it looks like a bigger version of these vans

The kei vans in 2000 and maybe even 1999 come with rear seatbelts a lot of people add them also

If you're going to use the pickup bed I guess get a truck but if you just want the space or comfort yeah van is the way to go.

Very slept on kei van, I like these alot

thanks bro

Appreciate it bro

Think we spoke already but yeah auto might not have a deselect for the 4wd

@@Waybeforethefame oh shoot. Sorry I was watching a different video when I messaged you on Instagram and didn’t realize it was still you when I came to this video👍🏼😂 thank you. Do you know if any faults with its reliability when it comes to the “full time” 4wd compared to the selector model?

Kei cars rule!

@@Waybeforethefame thinking also about buying one in germany. but they are hard to find

I didn't get a Honda until a couple months ago lol And ill be getting Acty eventually if it's blue even better

Rocky video coming soon!

Found it out, for anyone who wants to know. This is the Joypop Sound which has a cool speaker in the back of the car and for some reason the speaker also has an air cleaner in it too. So the hi / low is for the fan speed. For anyone who doesn't know, the Japanese lounge in their cars a lot, so this was probably for playing tunes and lounging in the car without it getting stuffy.

Me and you both

🥳

I never heard of the every wagon, I know every van or wagon r

Subaru Sambar with VW kit front end

Thanks!

@@Waybeforethefame dang, guess you'll have to find another one to review sometime, those are pretty rad

Yeah hopefully ill find one in the wild, I would own one too@@CobaltBlaze93

Stock very good, but depends on how much snow we talking lol People put plows on the truck version of these

MA type of snow slush, rain, and ice like that

@@hackroots02 Its fine

Alright 👍

I get that Kei is a type of vehicle sold in Japan but to me if you drive a honda beat its just a RHD miata its not a true kei car. Vans and trucks are true keis mostly everything else to me is just a RHD little car in my opinion

@@Waybeforethefame Yeah, I know you know what Kei is ... but they don't think of Kei Vans as Kei Cars ... they have them in different classes. And while the trucks and vans are very popular there are a lot of cars that fit. I just can't dismiss it. Like Smart cars qualify as Kei cars that I clearly wouldn't consider the same as a Beat and clearly not as cool. But generally I agree that the Beat/Capuccino/AZ are not nearly as usable as the vans and trucks, but they are so small and generally considerably slower even than Miatas and MR2s and comparable Fiats/BMWs/Alfas I can't put them in the same category as those cars. Is the car your Motocompo came from, the Honda Today, a Kei in your eyes, or is it in the same class as a Civic?

Wish it was for sale

Just because something is limited doesn’t make it the best lol It’s the most expensive kei although… It’s not the fastest kei It’s not the most practical Parts are expensive Interior is very small Windows don’t even go down all the way Only thing that make it “cool” is the doors and limited protection numbers

@@Waybeforethefame No, being limited doesn't make it the best, but being the only one truly built like an exotic does. You don't buy it for the practicality and it was never built for that. Though the over-the-shoulder room can carry more than people give it credit for, it's more room than the trunk in a Beat. It *is* the fastest kei, or at least tied for fastest. I don't mean 87 mph limited top speed, I mean acceleration. Cappuccino and Alto Works are similar, but they don't look like an AZ-1, they look like a weird Miata and a fancy Geo Metro respectively. Not the same. "Windows don't go down all the way", lmao, dude, buy a Crown Victoria if that's criteria you care about, I never roll windows down in anything. The fans will blow your face off and the air intake is the hood scoop right in front, you have no need to roll windows down even with the A/C off. The interior is also not that bad, people are just brainless and don't do things like get a dished wheel or a steering spacer which alone makes it infinitely more comfortable. 99% of the cramped feeling is because the default wheel spacing is meant for people like 5' tall. You can add spacers to a race-style wheel, you can't take it away, and they knew that when they designed it, but people can't think for 2 seconds and buy a $30 spacer. The AZ-1 is the best kei and you know it, you're just somehow think saying otherwise on youtube will dip the market enough to buy one cheap. Everyone knows better, ain't gonna happen, they aren't getting any cheaper than they are now. Nobody else ever made a kei Ferrari and no one else ever will, that's why it's the best and always will be.

@@nunyabusiness896 nah man the Az-1 is the worse kei car by far. No kei car should be 20k + regardless if it’s the “Ferrari” of the kei world. It shares the same motor as 2 cars that are half the price and just as fun to drive. The only thing the Az1 has are those doors and “status”. if you show up to a car meet ina AZ1 your one of the coolest people there but at 20k + it’s worth it AT ALL. You can buy real JDM cars at price. And with all that being said, my goal before 2024 is buy an az1 been saying this all year, so stay tuned. Hopefully one will be coming to the channel sooner than later 😂

@@Waybeforethefame Being expensive doesn't make something bad, lol. You can say it's a bad *value*, and I'd agree with you, if you want the most for your money you want a non-turbo kei truck or kei van, a turbo Wagon RR or Alto Works, or something like a turbo Jimny or Pajero. If you're cash strapped, those are all great values. But if you can only have one kei and want the best, ACTUALLY the best kei car that will ever be created the same way Ferrari reigned over everything in the 80's, it's the AZ-1, hands down, no question. It is the purest performance kei ever created, all of the rest are heavily compromised in some way. And I'd infinitely take it over any "real JDM" you could get for $20-25k.

Daihatsu move

Most people when buying a kei car view it as a toy to have in the garage, I know people who Kei Truck who've never used the bed but it was the cheapest and they like the way it looks

@@Waybeforethefame there's different buyers for almost anything. It's the beauty of it all, everyone can find their perfect vehicle. If I had the cash and room I would love to own different Kei. Suzuki Every plus 4wd, Carry pickup, Honda Beat, Midget 2, Hiace fire truck 😅
