In a similar vein, we bought a Mitsubishi I-car (another kei car).
Rear engine, 700cc turbo, nippy enough when there's only one in, and because the engine is at the back there's nothing to prevent a really
tight turning circle, which it has.
It can turn 180 degrees on most roads without needing a second tack. It's a hoot to drive - 4spd auto.
I think Kei cars are a great idea (rather than some of the disturbing concepts that come out of Japan). It made me rethink my car buying approach and
helped me feel less of a hankering for large powerful saloons. For driving around town it's brilliant, and dead easy to park.
it's the first car when taking a test drive that the missus and I both agreed on, and the only car we've test-driven where we've
giggled.

Looks fun
Friend used to have a little Charade GTI which was a hoot and near indestructible.

So we're all agreed then, small cars with fizzy engines are a good thing
