The Japanese did some very interesting little cars. The Cappuccino soon got nicknamed the Scrappuccino as they rust badly. No great resale value and a bit of a bargain if your handy with a spanner. Mind you why have a miniature MX5 when the real one is the same sort of money, Humph.
Miniatures are more cute, give a greater feel of motion, and hence excitement for the same speed as an effect of scale, and in the case of the smattering of K class modern micro sports cars, can actually perform on par on an absolute basis with some of their bigger brethren.
The Mazda Autozam AZ-1/ its manufacturer's namesake, Suzuki Cara, which shares the Cappuchino's
turbocharged, intercooled 658 cc three cylinder engine, but in the more ideal mid body location, in my opinion , is the best of these true micro sports cars. It has an asymmetric design, gull wing doors, and even a rust proof plastic body, and goes and handles like stink. What micro tops that?
