so this is my response to all your comments about the car

yes i know it's tiny and box shape
i wanted a tiny box car and that is what i got ^^

it seems small but it fits four people comfortably even thou i have yet to sit in the back but so far those who have sat back there had made no complaints...one even fell asleep.

those of you who have been or are planning on visiting Japan, do and/or will understand why cars are made to be small.

the roads here are small, especially those that goes off into small neighborhoods, like mine. the walls of houses are only inches away from my car as i drive up the road to my house.

and up here in the mountains the roads seem to get smaller. at first glance they look like big one way roads... in reality it's a two lane road that sometimes barely fit two cars let alone a big truck and a small car like mine...those situations start my heart pumping.

then there are times where people decide to stop on these small road to run into a store and some cars take turns to go while others don't want to wait and pass each other with just a inch of space between them. ( i have only been in a car while this happened, it hasn't happened to me...and hopefully it won't)

the small tires make sense...it adds to the cuteness of the car ^^
and the fact that it is a small car, why would u put normal size tires on them, plus my car is a kei car (yellow plate car) which means the engine is no larger than 660 cc (more info if you want it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_car)

i don't remember how high the gauge can go in the car to tell me the kph but most road signs are posted to go 40 kph to 60 kph ... in other words 24 mph- 37 mph.

i have yet to drive on the express way (not FREEways) so i don't know if there is a speed limit for that or what it is. one day I'll be brave to actually drive on one of those....but i don't want to pay the toll. it would just be easier and cheaper to drive to the station and take a train.
