    I have the van version of this k4 and love it every time I go out in it, Glad to see your steering wheel on the correct side of the truck :)

    If you get a supercharged version you need to make a comparison. Great video.
  • @EcclecticNerd
    Good lil review and walkaround, that interior is super clean looking! Planning on getting one of these when I move to Japan. Really gonna try and get the supercharged version if possible, cuz the idea of a supercharger noises on a lil 660 cc motor is way too entertaining to pass up.
  • yes please do an off road comparison! would be very interesting to see! love your vids so far! keep up the great work!
  • @Gupadodo
    What a sweet ride! Seems like a beast for on the road driving...even though I couldn't use it for that I almost want one more than a Suzuki. And they supercharged some of these too...that's crazy haha! Thanks for sharing!

    I always thought that kei vehicles were limited to 3 cylinders, I guess not. Thanks for the vid Ers!
  • @GoliathAngelus
    Nice!! I know only the older model. I thought Subaru doesn t use the name Sambar anymore. I can imagine how much fun you have in this micro truck
  • @drain_001
    After a ton of research I just put a deposit down on importing a Sambar... mainly because of this video. Thank you :)
  • Watching your vids, my choice was a 1993 Suzuki Carry. Had it about a year, but New York is , well they don’t like these trucks. Had to register in Vermont. Nice channel.

    I just stumbled on your videos ,I love them thank you . I have a Mazda cx30 but I want to buy a Kei truck for a fun hobby . I’m leaning towards the Honda . What alloy wheels fit the Honda ,they look great with bigger wheels. I will keep watching cheers Jeff in Australia.
  • Quick Tip I know it should be easy to reach, but to make it easier to roll down the manual passenger window, cut a piece of PVC pipe to the correct length to reach the crank and there you go. It is easy to store behind the seat or wherever. My Pop used to have a piece cut out for his Ford pickup back in the day. Thank you for the video! Just subscribed. Peace

    Oh shit,...this is Guam! Hey! Håfa Adai! Wow! I knew your accent sounded so homely.

    Cool. Japanese car enthusiasts call Subaru Sambar, "Porsche on the farm roads" because of the rear engine rear wheel drive layout. Honda Acty is called "NSX on the farm roads" because it's MR.

    I had an 88 model for fetching building goods. Went really well but only 550cc two cylinder.
  • Really like your reviews. I was bitten by the Kei truck bug awhile back . Now I'm looking at getting a Kei van but I am 6 ft 3 you mentioned on the Subaru truck is had a taller cab do you know if their Vans are also a bit taller then the Honda ?
