I bought a 1996 Japanese Suzuki Every which resembles a Honda Acty, Racoon, or Subaru Kei Van, about a year ago from Facebook Marketplace for $7200. This Kei Van will drive identical to its Kei Truck counterpart. The Kei Van would also make a good platform for a Kei Camper. There are some major Pros and Cons of these vans. In this video I go over engine and performance, driving test, interior and exterior features. I believe this to be one of the best jdm kei vans on the market. If you are wanting to buy a mini truck but need more space for passengers this is a great alternative.

Any bumps in a Kei vehicle are rough.🤣 I've got 2 of them. A 1993 Daihatsu Mira Walk-Through and a 1993 Daihatsu Mira TR XX Avanzato. Love em both‼️
I'm in the Philippines. This Vehicle is very common here. comes in different shapes, some in a van, some look like a pick up truck.
I just got back from the Cook Islands and it is the same thing there! I wish we saw that here more.
Ive been looking for one of those vans to put in my sprinter van as a spare.
Lol that would be so bad ass
Cool little van. Awesome thank you for the video. I just bought a 2005 Suzuki Every Joypop Turbo with only 9300 miles. It's on its way from Japan at the moment.
I wish I had a turbo!
30 mpg after the carburetor change that is I guess ?
That's correct. Mileage did not change with new carb.
@@SamandKadenGoPlaces O, I thought that it would consume less with the original carburetor . Nice to know!
Had you bought it from Europe, then the steering wheel would be on the left side. It's a pity that YT doesn't allow links in the comments.
I think I am starting to like driving on the right side better anyways! Not sure if I could handle driving on the left side of the road. Just came back from the cook islands and it took my mind a little to wrap around it.
depends what spec you get, ive seen pretty basic spec have all the vents and speakers in the doors. but uk they cost a bit more that usa the one im looking at is around $8500 mark but only 40k miles and like new condition. depends on how basic the basic the first owner wanted as you can get few with center light too but they do tend to be pretty basic but i feel that is the charm of them too, just less to go wrong. and now uk becoming country with lower limits popping up everywhere and cameras a slow van i feel not an issue and rarely go on to bigger roads so speed it won't effect me much as where i am its a fast less than 30 min drive on 70 mph before on to 50 and 60 country roads so ideal cruising speed for one these. one these but slightly newer as we have clean air zones what charge to enter so buy the right age its free if not its £8-12 a day that adds up. my next car/van buy its one these but slightly newer or a modern euro 6 engine i20 what should be free to enter these fraud zones for a lot longer that only cars on top my list to by next, nothing else caught my eye and boring
think all Japanese cars the signals and wipers on the other way
you can get 5 speed manual also or an auto , a 5 speed manual seems better way to go, 1998 that what on offer
I think I am going to upgrade to a 5 speed. Mine does have the dome light!
@@SamandKadenGoPlaces tricky when buying is so many variations, depending on first buyer on how basic and some basic can have a lot more some don't even have a 2nd air vent so very basic so really the best option get one great condition and upgrade yourself over time, i bet you struggle to find two the same config unless from same company
You want parts for your kei van, your best bet is to find another van exactly like it and buy it and use that one for parts. Its waaaay less headache than hunting online for individual parts. It will make having flat tires way less of a proplem. Just grab it off the parts van.
Not too many parts vans here in Hawaii. I'm always on the lookout. My problem is whenever I get something for part it becomes its own project.
Wonder if this would work on a HiJet s110p
What engine? If it is 657cc F6A I think it would work.
@@SamandKadenGoPlaces it’s the 659cc efns engine
Link for video is on the screen
It is only the American who doesn't understand the metric system.
🚀 🌝
Great for bikes! THe only problems is price should be lower for an old car.
Agree but when does it start to become a classic 😂
For 7k? That's a deal. Now that they're selling like hotcakes, you'd be lucky to find any Kei vehicles less than 9.5k
In Hawaii?
@@SamandKadenGoPlaces Guam
@@SamandKadenGoPlaces 10k in alaska
I'm not trying not be a troll. Respectfully did you say gasoline?
Yes!
Nicely done video! Love the red paint. Did you keep the cat?!
They look like they were doing good there without intervention. So we let them stay! Good to keep mice away
Worthy of a million likes
In Australia these vans were sold through Suzuki dealers and they were known as the Suzuki Carry and they were purely a commercial vehicle but now Suzuki have the APV which is a bit bigger would not be considered a Kei vehicle because it has a bigger four cylinder engine and its the only Suzuki commercial vehicle available in Australia there maybe a Suzuki Jimny ute coming
I would love to get my hands on a new Jimny in the states.
@@SamandKadenGoPlaces My son has one in Australia and we do have Suzuki's in Australia and we own a Suzuki Baleno also l saw a Jimny 5 door the other day well the USA shot themselves in the foot because of the test were they had really tried hard to roll a Suzuki Sierra and they did eventually get it to roll so Suzuki stuff you and stopped sending Suzuki's to the USA but the rest of the world gets them and in Australia latest sales figures Suzuki increased in sales by 19%
U might want to see about getting a slightly taller Transaxle for it or a taller 4 gear. But i hear they offer a 5 software trans for them
I will look into that thanks!
You can probably get one cheaper if you import yourself from a reputable dealer like japancardirect.
I'm sure! I bought this one before I even moved to Hawaii and it fit the mission. Next time when I can afford to wait I'm planning on flying to Japan to find one myself
Try mainland Europe instead!
Do you plan on getting any other Kei vehicles? I've got 2. A 1993 Daihatsu Mira Walk-Through and a 1993 Daihatsu Mira TR-XX Avanzato. Love em both‼️ From NC🇺🇲🙂
I want to get a Suzuki Jimny! What is your favorite?
@SamandKadenGoPlaces I like my Daihatsu Mira Walk-Through the most! Jimny's are cool, too, especially if it 4 WD. The TR XX is fun as well, as it will easily do highway speeds of 75 mph+.
Wow! I really wanted one of these but went with an '07 Chevy Van I got for cheap so building that out now. Great video!
Awesome! Should have a little more room! Where are you based?
Excellent video and great list of realistic pros and cons.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Just out of curiosity, have you ever tried out a super carry? At 6’ 3” I was curious is the fixed seating made that impossible. I have one, but I’m only 5’ 8”. I also appreciate how you gave true mileage. Most people say 40-50 mpg.
None of them get 40-50mpg. Typically you can expect 25-30mpg from any of the Kei Trucks. Some of the smaller Kei cars like my Suzuki Alto push about 38mpg around town but the minute you get into the higher RPM range, the fuel economy plummets like a rock. Stay in those high revs all the time and you can almost expect to be replacing a motor. Just my .02 but I have also owned about a dozen Kei cars/trucks at this point.
Thanks for the heads up! How much did a new motor cost you?
Glad it's not just me!
I did a test drive in one. Definitely tighter. I could not operate the right turn signal because it hit my knee. I couldn't get my knee out of the way either. Maybe if you modify the turn signal.
@@SamandKadenGoPlaces Yea, I’d love to see if a 90’s Suzuki samurai blinker would work. (Just to get the gear on the correct sides.)
Omg your moped is so nice. I want one in that color. But I don’t know how to ride a moped. I been watching videos last few nights trying to learn how ride one.
If you can ride a bike you can ride a moped!
Comment 💜 if you agree
Who thought it was a icicle 👇(not begging)
No way you have a girlfriend.
I am taken sorry.
What a cool little van!
Bet you wish you had one!
You can do UV window tint that isn't super dark which should help with the heat from the sun coming though the windows
That's the plan soon! Any estimate on what that costs?
@@SamandKadenGoPlaces nope sorry but maybe 500 max I would think and hope. I plan to look into it myself for my Suzuki carry 1995
@@SamandKadenGoPlaces Here in NH it's $250-300 to have all the windows done at a reputable shop. If you buy good film and a tool kit you can do it yourself for about $150 but take your time, do it in the shade, and watch plenty of tutorials before you jump in and try.
Well you heard him
The loop is perfect tho
I landed at a cranberry bog in Wisconsin. I thought it was the grass strip I was headed to. It had a wind sock and everything. Now though, in the days of Foreflight if you land at the wrong airport. You should probably analyze how and why. That shouldn’t happen.
OMG
VW friendly camping in the Columbia River Gorge.
I have flown over that river but haven't taken the VW up there too much yet.

Nice love it bro
Thanks more kei videos to come!
Aww, so cute❤❤

The people in the comments section have never been there. They don’t know what they don’t know. I felt the pit in my stomach and hairs on my back watching this video. Glad you made it. Nice thing about the Ercoupe is you can’t stall or spin it so you’d likely survive the crash.
It’s a heart warming thought that’s for sure 😂
Starting at about 15:05 in this video: Did you two make a follow-up video about what went wrong?
