Keis seem like toys, I know, but a little 660 in a light car is crazy amounts of fun. The original Beat, along with the Cappuccino and AZ1 were real blasts to drive and other than physical room for passengers and cargo you didn't feel like you were "settling."
They can be tossed around and squirt through corners like a big shifter Kart and if the twins attract you in stock form, not talking to the "gotta have 400hp" crowd, you would likely giggle like a schoolgirl behind the wheel of one. The idea of a 100hp turbo engine in one, wow; that's a rocketship and would make this little car a real spoiler on a windy road if the footwork is sorted. I don't see how the car could pass US impact and airbag standards, though, so don't expect to see one in the states. You don't get many fun cars anymore. This car -vs- an SUV would fold like orgami.

I think that bodykits are possibly the most retarded thing you can do to any vehicle. When I see guys spend 2k+ on a kit for a twin and do no mechanical modifications I always think to myself: "Never go full retard"
I would totally rock one of these little guys as another cheaper toy car, but I would IMMEDIATELY buy a bodykit for it, its that bad.

And I think leaving a great platform looking stock is retarded... guess we all get to have our opinions and voice them too

Not trying to hate on those that use em, its your money to spend and there are some mostly tasteful ones out there. Only using my personal distaste for them to demonstrate how bad the Honda looks! :eek:

Cultural Clash: Japan vs. United States!
I like the Honda. I'd buy it if I needed a city car. But I use public transport mostly now, so don't even need a normal car that often. |

My God that is horrible looking. I'm completely sick of this current trend where EVERY car made by said brand has to have the same design language up front. It's incredibly boring, unoriginal and in this case, ugly.
