    Great video - so nice to have someone who knows what he's talking about and has actually lived in Japan. Very nostalgic as well. I lived in Japan for 17 years and had a 1989 Suzuki Joy Pop for a few years. It was a great little van, although I don't think I ever got it up to more than 70 kph and was glad I was never in an accident as there was almost no crumple zone. My parents came to visit when my son was still in his car seat, so we got an extra seat belt installed in the middle of the back seat and squeezed 2 adults and a baby in the second row.

Though me n wife are are not tall people lol. We use it when we need the ground clearance for when we go camping, exploring or to the beach because it has leather seats.

      "Also more room for a larger engine if you somehow ruin the original". But that would ruin the entire point of the limitations that these vehicles work under. To use a cliche, sure you can drop in a monstrously OP engine, but then it's lost some charm, and it's just like all the other franken-swapped vehicles out there. Making the most of the factory limits is part of the charm of these vehicles.

    good video ,i’m not too suprised at the owners comments , Subaru does build quality mechanical items as a general rule my guess is with all the Subaru Boxer engines being used for different vehicles there will be high performace parts for the engines in these vans like bolt on items such as headers , Turbos ,etc Subaru motors are very popular options for Air Cooled VW Cars and buses those conversions allow owners of those vehicles to operate their cars at modern highway speeds

    Kei cars are still popular and quite common in Japan........Basically a "City" car.......As he said, limited to 64 HP/3 cylinder engines.......All (to my knowledge) Japanese auto makers make a line of Kei's......They apparently answered the problem of large cars in the city/fuel economy/pollution abatement..........The are popular in Thailand as well......

    I was in Japan late 80s early 90's. The vehicle market was insane and cheap fir American buyers. I had a Mitsubishi jeep while there.

    They sold these in germany aswell - my brother economically totaled one by backing out the drive way in my moms Volvo 850. The good Vo had barely a scratch

    You see the Kei Trucks everywhere here is Southern Idaho. The farmers and dairymen buy them up like crazy, there’s even a little dealership!

    I just recently did a road trip from western Pa, through N.Dakota, Montana, to Yellowstone. Then back via the Black Hills, Omaha and down Iowa 80. (yes I did stop at the worlds largest truck stop) What I drove was my 1990 Dodge B250 conversion van. 318 cu-in V8, High top, all the plush and wood that you'd think of when hearing the words "conversion van"
    The only downside was the cost of gas. A full-size Dodge van is not among the most fuel efficient vehicles. So I have to wonder, If I were to just set this Sanbar up so I could sleep in it, and carry supplies, could something like this handle 16 days of interstate driving? My Dodge held 70-75 Mph most of my trip, with no issues. (I did have the oil pressure sensor go bad, and had to stop in Laurel Montana at an O'Reilleys for a new one and changed the oil/filter while I was at it , but that was unrelated to the trip)
    I know I'd have to keep 'er around 60, so I'd be significantly slower than most traffic on those 80 to 85 Mph speed limit highways in Montana, But other than that, I would really like to try it.

    When I was a kid my Dad has a little business. He had a Honda Actty, is that what it was called? Then got a Subaru 4x4 3 cylinder. It was fun, easy to drive and lots of space. I would love one now 30 years later.

    Y'know these are probably more reliable than any American Built product today. These would do great in 2023 and on.
