And here we now have the infamous Gundam Daihatsu Coppen!
Needless to say it's quite... special. The driver was an absolute ass, doing "vroom vroom" for like 20s with his 0.6L engine because someone in front of him made a mistake and had to switch lane in front of him. He was not "happy"......

Despite that driver being an ass, I do like the Copen. They're supposedly a hoot to drive. The problem is that no average sized male (North Western European perspective) is able to sit comfortably in one while looking through the windshield rather than over it. I parked my 406 coupe next to one last year, my car seemed like an SUV in comparison.

I tried one and me and my 187cm for 82kg could fit well in it... Sure I've been in more spacious cars to say the least, but it,s really not that bad. The size of the wheel is what matters. To get IN the car is a bit tough, to get OUT of the car makes you look a bit ridiculous as it involves putting both hands on the ground and pulling yourself out lol, but once you're in it, it's really ok...

Given that I'm 188 cm and 82kg this is welcome news. I remember a Dutch test of the car were the reviewer didn't fit as well, to put it mildly, but he's a lot taller than we are.

I could fit in all the sports Keis I have tried with the roof on. Az-1, Cappuccino, and Coppen. Won't buy a Coppen though because front wheel drive :)
