Sorry for the double post. Please save me by listing reasons I shouldn’t buy this Honda Acty. 50hp of cuteness. At 6'2, it may be a bit of a squeeze to drive it ....

Parts seem pretty easy to get and with 40,000 miles not bad. It would be slower than the Kia...way more personality though!

MAKE: Honda   MODEL: Acty
FUEL TYPE: GAS
BODY STYLE: Truck
MILEAGE ( KMS): 66350
LOCATION: Vancouver
PRICE: $7,590
D RIVETRAIN: 4WD/AWD with rear locking diff
TRANSMISSION: 5-Speed Manual with low range
ENGINE: 0.6L 3-Cylinder (660cc)
EXTERIOR COLOR: White INTERIOR COLOR: Grey

I can offer a range of practical and personal safety reasons to pass on the Acty. However, due to the Oppo Entertainment Quotient, they are all rendered null and void.

The Kia is safer, more comfortable, better highway car and it has better parts availability locally. There.

DOOO EEETTT! Unsafe bec ause kei car, but it’s at least one of the safer kei trucks because it does have a driver’s airbag....one of the few to do so. Not sure that really means anything, but.

There are several Suzuki Carrys and older Actys and Hijets running around Mahone Bay, they always bring a smile to my face! Would be a fun little around town runabout, but also practical enough to do a little real work here and there if you needed to! :)

Well you shouldn’t buy it because :

has an abundance of character

it will get great fuel econony

you’ll have a lot of interesting material to share with us about living with this vehicle

You’ll be able to park it just about anywhere

It will likely be quite reliable

You have people asking you about it all the time.

There... have I talked you out of it?

From everything I've heard, these absolutely suck to drive in any situation. They are purely utilitarian in nature, and not really meant to be taken out of the city or above 55. I used to want one until I talked with people who have driven them.

But why do you want it? I get that it’s cute and unusual but it’s also awful. I f you need to haul things relatively short distances, or through a city, this would fill the need and be useful but otherwise it seems like a very masochistic choice.

Well, my mom drove a ‘75 Civic with 52 hp across the country, so this should be even better, right?

Nah. Get a Daihatsu Midget. It’s got twiceas many doors as it has seats, is like a McLaren and centre steer, okay the steering wheel is just right of centre because the handbrake is on your left.

No problems with drive throughs.

I’d offer to save you by buying it myself, but around these parts it’s still 6 years too young to be legal..

also, if/when I jump on the kei truck loony bin a part of me wants  to go all the way to 11 and get a kei fire truck..

If it was just a hair cheaper I’d buy it out from under you.

If 2WD isn’t a deal breaker, there are some that are way cheaper
