      @@Jflux69 very normal in japan as many citizens take it as part of their duty to keep the land tidy. there may be cleaning service in both japan and the us, but think everyone will agree japan is much, much cleaner.. nearly every single person will walk by trash and not pick it up in the states.

    BTW not sure if anyone else mentioned this but at 7:57 look to the top you can see thr bag for the cover piece that snaps on to the area with the gap after you drop the top. Saw another YT page (LugNutz) that showed the cover then i rewatched your vid a couple of times to see if i could see it in the trunk. More JDM sweeping please!!!

    The copen solid here in many European countries including the Netherlands. They do have a different rear bumper though, but I've spotted one with the Japanese bumper in my hometown. It's still a LHD though, so not a JDM import. Really nice cars to see and they aren't that weird and quirky around here with all these small cars on our roads

    Reminiscent of the old 356 "bath tub" Porsche or the first generation Audi TT with the front and rear resemblance to each other. You can see Toyota SC300 styling cues too. Like the early Ferrari-like shift lever. (back when you actually had to drive that car).
    Cool little car.

    Also, I don't know if you noticed but, in the boot at the very back is a bag that contains a cover for that gap when the roof is down. (that cover was an optional extra btw and I think I saw the copen in your video has it)

    First car I owned after passing my test. Loved it until a spark plug cracked and fell in the engine. Have a mx5 now but even so, I like to think that one day I may own another. Perhaps one of the modern copen cero versions. Have to say though, a manual edition is what you want, an automatic one takes away half of the fun . The copen also has the hardest suspension of any car I’ve driven, even vs a number of expensive sports cars

    If you ever sell another Copen never slam the trunk down it's not good for it :) you just need to put it down with your hands and then press on the spoiler and it will close, it's a soft close system
    Very beautiful exemplary ! But very very low options on it, no momo steering wheel, no heated seats, no radio...
    And the leather bag that was in the trunk is actually a "tonneau cover" that you put on the big hole that you don't like when the top is down :D
    You need to put it with the trunk open
