Kei Car recommendations?

Lately I've been adoring Kei Cars from Japan and got the itch to build a kei model. Are there any you guys would recommend that are modern?

The Honda S-MX is also a K car. Not too bad. TMY and FJM has it.

Re: Kei Car recommendations?

I thought a kei car has to be within certain dimensions and engine size? So probably not a S-MX.

How about a wagon R?

Re: Kei Car recommendations?

kei cars are cars with 1000cc or below displacement engines. wagon r is a nice kei car. ive borrowed a turbo wagon RR last week and it was quick.

Re: Kei Car recommendations?

Kei's max engine displacement is 660cc since 1990. 1000cc cars are commonly referred to as "liter car" or subcompact. Relatively speaking, the B20B equipped S-MX is a lot bigger.

I've got a Subaru 360 (OLD Kei car definition of 360cc) model, but I was quite disappointed in its details.
