We used to have that as the Mini Jumbo.

Any new awesome rides on the way with videos? :D

Assuming you were possibly buying one of the sporty Vivios...? I forget the name of ‘em...

Subaru Vivio RX-R :)

If I find one, be certain that I’ll buy it haha. I will eventually, but none for now... Next week I have a whole bunch of cars to drive actually... A Cappuccino, 2 Minis (one 1000cc and one 1300cc), the Gemini Irmscher R and a Honda Beat.... Sucks not to live near work... I have to rush and cram all the phooshoots of the cars and test drive videos in like 2 days :(

Hopefully I move out near Amagasaki in January or February...

Thank you, yup, that is the one! The Mira Avanzato and Dangan competitor :P...still think I would prefer the Mira most of all, though. Not sure which is easier to find in good shape and what the costs of those three are though...?

Good luck with the move if it happens! It’s easier to enjoy things if you’re not rushed! :)

Looking forward to the Gemini! :D

The Alto RS-X is the best, trust me :)

I sold one recently and man, do I want another! As for price, I think if I were to find either one, I’d sell them for 4500 to 6000$ landed. They are still affordable here and let’s face it... damn worth the money! For comparison I sold the Alto RS-X for $5700 landed...

Not bad! I wish Canadian dollars weren’t so low compared to US right now, haha! $5700 US is like $7K CAD atm :(

I’ve read Altos can have a lot of rust issues though if memory serves? There was an exporter talking about them on a JDM Forum I was part of at one point? I am sure they all have rust but he seemed to say the Altos rusted the most and it was harder to find a decent one in stock nick as they are like the Honda Civic of sporty kei cars...everybody bought them, modded them and drove them hard...?

I do love me some Altos though...how is the fifth-gen RS-X/RS-Z compared to the older ones? At least it comes with airbags :P

Oh yeah, you could watch them rust... Old Suzukis are the worst, which is why finding good ones usually asks for premiums... That RS-X was 100% stock apart from the wheels. The engine is already pushed A LOT (65hp or so for 550cc... it used to be the most powerful engine per liter of displacement for a LONG time3...), but I know boost can be raised a little without misfires....

But all 80'S and 90's JDM are quite terrible with rust to be honest... Suzuki and their super thin paint gets the palm though :)

It might be worse, but the Mira Avanzato is growing on me, especially the L500 models :P
