About 5 days ago, I got back from a 2 week long trip in japan. I saw lots of interesting cars there and cars we don’t have in Australia. So that is what this post is about.
In japan, some of the cars that I saw were cars called kei cars. Kei cars are cars that are built specifically for Japanese cities. This means that they are very small and have tiny engines so, as a result, they have minuscule amounts of power. The reason why they are so small is because they are designed to be able to maneuverer though very small parts of the city. I will put a photo of one at the bottom of this post.
As well as seeing these cars, we also say some regular cars in Japan. we saw lots of Toyotas and was nearly run over by a land cruiser that had had it’s suspension raised. In Japan, some cars we have in Australia have different names. A good example of this is the Honda jazz. In Australia, it is called the Honda jazz, but in Japan it is called the Honda fit. We also saw lots of Lexus’, Subarus and Mazdas, with the most-seen of this lot being the Mazdas.
But all this changed when we arrived in Tokyo after getting a 2.5 hour long bullet train ride from Kyoto. The first significant changes I saw in terms of cars is that there were so many luxury cars and full-size luxury sedans. we started to see Porsche panameras, Lexus LS 500h’s, Mercedes S-Class’ and Mercedes-Maybach S550 and S600’s (Maybach is the division that makes the ultra luxury trim level for the S-Class’, just like AMG makes the sporty versions of all Mercedes’ cars.) I will put a photo of all the cars that I have mentioned in this paragraph below.
Remember, if you want help choosing the right car for you please get in touch on the Contact page.
Also, I’d love your comments or feedback on this or other posts.

How cute is the kei car and so practical. I can’t wait to go to Japan myself.
