Here i am waiting for the paperwork for the AZ-1, you came out from nowhere with S660. But still, if the S660 hit honda dealership in here, i'll take one for a test. Hopefully my AZ-1 paperworks is already done when S660 hit the showrooms so i could take my AZ-1 and mrs Aya's friend Daihatsu Coppen to make a kei roadster battle..

But what makes me interested on this car was the interior. It looks pretty comfortable, compared to ultra spartan approach of AZ-1.

In fact, i'm even considering selling the AZ-1 as soon as i get it. But i need to drive it firs

I want one of these S660s. Interior looks very functional, and not having a massive infotainment screen is fantastic. I love it.

Yeah.

You can have one with big screen though, but it's optional.

Why can't all car manufacturer do this?

AZ-1 is about 3 times cooler

But it's not practical..

I mean, if i went to a pizzeria with mrs Aya, she will have to hold the Pizza inside the car because it won't fit in the frunk.

who puts pizza in a trunk anyway? My GF holds the pizza when I go in my MR2 and it has plenty of space for pizza in either frunk or trunk.

I do. Why would you put it inside?

Or another scenario, what if she fancy a road trip with it, with all those bags that ladies might need..

MR2 is a luxury grand tourer compared to the AZ-1. Still, let's hope the S660 is terrible to drive.

if i put it in the trunk I'd probably forget about it and take a corner too fast.

But yeah, I dunno if any Kei car is going to be a fantastic choice for a road trip, except maybe a Wagon R or similar? I wouldnt cross Australia in one at any rate (road trains would be scary as fuuuuuuuuuuu). I could happily do that in the MR2.

You're not going to fit a pizza in the trunk. It's not wide enough, and the frunk is too odd shaped. You'll end up with all of the cheese on one side of your pizza.

Seriously Honda, bring it to the US. GIVEZ IT TO ME!

Sw20 trunk is big enough for all but the largest of pizzas

Hmm, looking at it now, it's way bigger than I remember it being. I thought it was just a tiny bit bigger than the AW11's trunk.

big enough for the proverbial golf bag. Just not very deep.

Ive also mounted my spare upside down so I can use the inside of the wheel for more space.

I only ever pine for a bigger car when I'm moving house.

I moved the spare for mine to behind the driver's seat. My frunk's more or less gone now, though. I have the battery mounted there, and will soon have a cutout to vent the radiator through it.

neat! rally aw11?

my dad's X1/9 had the spare mounted behind the driver too.

Yep. Haven't rallied it yet, but I'm hoping to get it up to the Black River Stages in September if I can find enough people willing to help with some logistical things like moving tools and spare parts around to the prep areas and can find someone with a trailer who's willing to pull it back to the city if it isn't able to make it back on its own.

They should be a heap of fun on the dirt. I hope you find some one, I wouldn't even hesitate to flat out pay a mate for the days work.

Yeah, it depends on the money situation once things get closer. I'd like to just pay someone, but between travel, entry fees, safety equipment, and the like, I'm already looking at a minimum expense of well over a grand for the weekend. At the very least, I would make sure that they don't have any out of pocket expenses, but three days of rally, a day to get there, and a day to get back gets expensive. Part of me almost wants to take my chances with no plans for getting back other than the car.
