I live in Philippines past few years and now I own Suzuki every wagon DA64W and just bought newer one 2019 model year DA17W and I’m in love with these small vans, they can carry up to 6 people and still have lots of room at back for storage My trucks are newer so they both come with many safety standard features including all power options even both rear sliding doors, power side steps, pre collision warnings, traction control etc. Back in Canada I used to drive Cadillac, BMW, Lincoln and more other luxury cars but these multicabs (it’s what they called here) stole my heart.
Back in the early 1990's Univ of Michigan bought about 150 of the trucks and mini vans. They then parked them and could not drive them anywhere on campus. Only on north campus could we operate the in the baits complexes and the Northwoods apt areas. Cops would try to ticket you crossing the road...lol! I used it by hiding them on the hiking trails and back sidewalks. Most were sold at property disposal for about $300.00 each. Keep an eye out there as they keep finding the where they parked away for lack of use. Cheap.
Philippines has lots of Kei Vans and Trucks and we call it as Multicab regarless if it is every or carry. Join or Joypop and all required to be converted to left hand drive. Come to our country particularly in Cebu and Davao. You will see lots of this suzuki units
@@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.
Thanks for this video! I have a Suzuki Every (Join) which I'm currently restoring. It is amazing how many different variant Suzuki Every's there were! Subscribed!
Every single kei vans you feature on the channel seems like a good buy or decent st the very least. Thats why, you should really do a Kei Van ratings with its breakdown at the end of your videos. Also, do a Kei Van rankings, just so we know which is which.
Have you heard about the Honda Z? They came out in late 1998. They came with 4wd and a more modern turbocharged inline 3 engine mounted in the rear. I plan to import some this fall
@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
I just recently got an every join…definitely love your work but itd be cool if you could do a parts video. My van is 2wd and has cv axles straight off the trans/diff anyway the diff seals are leaking and all I find online is kei’s with solid rear axles 🤷🏻♂️ … either way bro I’m glad someone is throwing the info out there!
That's a great selection of Every kei vans. I'm digging the 4WD and was surprised that so many had locking axles. Very cool. I like getting low mileage kei cars in good condition but without too many amenities because I'll upgrade it anyway. Definitely A/C in my next kei car, though.
These little vans used to be quite popular in Australia in the late 70s as well as mini motorbikes. Then they just disappeared. Always wanted one. I suspect parts are hard to get
That deck van you need to weld onto the tubing on the trunk. Add tubing and make a welded shell add leather and make your own leather trunk cap to keep stuff out of the elements
ive already been leaning toward suzuki, carry or every's, and now im pretty much sold on the every's. are they all mid or rear engine? and are there also mid or rear engine carry's? love the content
I really hope people be able to get them pretty soon the most slept on kei van is the Suzuki every wagon da64w and da64v check them out they look better ride better and more and customize better if tgat sounds right
Hello! I own a 1992 Autozam Scrum Van, same van as the 4wd Suzuki you drive on this video. Did you do anything else other than to press the button to engage the 4wd? Mine is engage and can’t disengage from it. Any info is appreciated!
I have a 98 join that is 5 speed rwd only… I’ve had it a few months and it’s cool, and in pretty good condition. I seem to be able to find parts for 4wd and automatic, anyway I have leaky rear (cv style)axles and can’t find any info on a rwd , 5 speed every 🤷🏻♂️ but yea totally love kei vans, jdm cars in general.
Ive been obsessed with kei cars recently id love to get a kei van. Hopefully in the future cause id wanna add some stuff like seatbelts in the back seats since i havent seen any with those.
Im 6’3” would i fit in a car very hot pop? Also im looking for info in registering them in California. I really love these vans and hope i can get one some day.
What if it’s an automatic transmission 4wd? Does it not have a push button for the 4wd or a way switch between lo and hi? I am acquiring one this weekend and it says on the title 4wd but doesn’t have any buttons or shifter so I assume it’s basically an AWD? It’s a 96 Suzuki every joypop with the auto transmission.
@@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?
Hey, question for anyone who knows. I just got a 1990 Every Joypop and on the front panel (with windshield wipers, rear trunk unlock, etc) it shows a switch that says C/A and you can toggle hi or low. Anyone know what that does? I can't find it on the Internet or owners manual.
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.
Kei is about the size of the vehicle and the size of the engine. The only Kei's where you are over the wheels are the trucks and vans ... you are dismissing a lot of Kei vehicles there. :) In Japan they consider Kei cars, Kei Trucks, and Kei Vans as 3 different categories. Suzuki Suzulight and Subaru 360s were like 1950s Kei cars (and INCREDIBLY SLOW), but they were Kei cars, not trucks or vans. That said, I get what you are saying about the utility of the Kei van.
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?
10:18 Fat chance, dude, the AZ-1 is the BEST kei car. It's expensive and will continue to be because: - Only 5000 were ever made between the AZ-1 (4500) and Suzuki Cara (500) (exact numbers are +/- a few dozen) vs. Beats and Cappuccinos that were around 30k produced each -Probably only half of that still exist today, so 2500 still on the road -It was more expensive than pretty much all other kei cars when it was new, so that higher price carries through. -They have the fastest kei engine (turbo F6A, maybe K6A is slightly faster but not enough to matter), round headlights that everyone likes, gullwing doors, the most exotic looks, it's without a doubt the most pure performance kei car. Cappuccino is just an oddly proportioned NB Miata and the Beat is cool but the engine just doesn't keep up with turbo keis. -They have a huge curb appeal that steals the show from Ferraris, etc. -Even Deloreans that are about the same straightline performance but offers gullwing doors and similar exotic looks sell for like $70k in really nice shape nowadays, so an AZ-1 for $20k is a downright bargain by comparison. Everything else in the kei world kept on moving and there will always be a newer and better kei car/truck/van on the horizon that keeps prices down. In fact, I'd argue some of the best cars/vans are still 1-5 years away from being import legal, especially from a maintenance and overall ownership perspective. The AZ-1 is just a piece of history that will never be made again, count your blessings they don't cost more than they do because I only see them going up long term, they're only dipped right now because of the recession.
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.
Buy a truck if you need a truck, if you don't need a truck why buy one. Don't use a truck bed get the van. Funny how many buy what they don't use, goes for full size trucks also. I'm getting a Kei truck, need the bed, 4wd. I have the Spark to do the stuff the truck can't do.
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 😅
This is what America needs.
I agree
Ye

I NEED ONE
I really need one even though I'm just a kid AKA 10 years old
6:20 and 6:30, damn that is REALLY your favorite feature LOL
Will have to take these more seriously when looking around for one.
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
I live in Philippines past few years and now I own Suzuki every wagon DA64W and just bought newer one 2019 model year DA17W and I’m in love with these small vans, they can carry up to 6 people and still have lots of room at back for storage
