Default Kei Cars

Anyone like these? By Kei cars I mean the Kei class in Japan (under 660 cc of displacement, I believe).

Cars such as:

Suzuki Alto Works


Suzuki Cappucino


Daihatsu Copen

I doubt they would ever come to the USA but, ah well.

The 2nd one looks like a cross between a Tiburon and a Miata, the third looks like a bastard child of a Beetle and a 911. I dunno, never really looked at that division.

Well the top one IS turbo IIRC. Also, its "cute" I'd pick it over the other two, even though the last one is really a Toyota IIRC, the Cappucino is RWD though, so SR20 in thurr and drift like a copycat

I think those cars are usually too small to look good, maybe the sizes of everything is off. The best one IMO by far to pick would be the Clio, but its not exactly "under 1L"

I believe they are all turbo, and they all weigh around 650 kg's. They aren't super quick but, they aren't super slow either.
