I love all of the bikers pulling beside you checking out the car 😂

Brendan Roemer 🤣 Yea, the attention was insane! I had cars and bikes next to me taking pictures pretty much the whole trip, lol. It’s definitely an experience.

I have a 93 with 36,000 original miles and I love it. A few other things I have noticed: Until you adjust, sitting on the "wrong" side of the car can throw your lane discipline off. If I don't watch myself you can tend to hug the center line. Drivethru's can suck just as much as toll booths, it's a bit easier with the roof off. I really, REALLY need to find a solution to put a coffee cup somewhere. I'm seriously considering installing a kill switch for the speed limiter. It's not that I plan driving that fast, but If I need to in an emergency situation I'd like to know I can get myself out of trouble particularly when I suspect most large vehicles and trucks may not even see me. I'm finding the syncros are a bit weak in 3rd. Sometimes I have trouble finding the gear when shifting fast.

36K miles, that's awesome! I agree, driving on the right side of the car throws you off, particularly after being out on the road for so long and exhaustion starts messing with your senses. It's not that it felt weird or anything, just your instincts are kind of fighting you. I haven't done a drive thru yet but I'm sure it has to be quite the feat, lol. I'll try your suggestion out and remove the roof next time. My "fix" for the cup holder situation was to get a pair of window cup holders, like these: www.amazon.com/dp/B009IKAARQ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_E-lmEb21JPPJ0 I use them on the passenger side window instead of the driver's side so I don't have anything interfering with my steering wheel and since the car is so narrow, I can easily reach out and grab it from my side. Not a great fix, but the best I've been able to find without actually modifying anything on the actual car. I've see a few folks who drill cup holders onto the dash and stuff but I personally didn't want to physically modify the car. The speed limiter removal is a common modification from what I've heard, particularly in the UK. It might be worth looking into on some forums and you do have a good point with having to be able to evade in an emergency. I hadn't thought of that and it's definitely something worth considering. I personally haven't had any issues with the syncros on mine but have read about them being pretty notchy, particularly the 2nd and 3rd gear. I read about how the issue was with the viscosity of the gearbox fluid used and many owners, after changing it out, don't run into issues. I'm not 100% sure on this since I haven't had any issues with mine but it's worth checking out if you haven't changed out your gearbox fluid. Thanks for the thoughts and hope you enjoy your Cappuccino for many more years to come!

I remember all these in Japan. Subscribed!

You're not wrong about the hardest part of right hand drive being the turn signals on the right. I have a Cappuccino and accidentally turned on the wipers so many times until I got used to it, and now every time I drive someone else's car I screw it up 😆

Loving your channel.😊😊😊😊🎶😊😊😊

Great video! Driving a Suzuki Cappo at high speed in 98 degrees WHILE DOING A ^$#&*ING VIDEO REVIEW is impressive. I find that any long trip get very uncomfortable so I can sympathize with the pain. Also, going 140kph is scary in the Cappo! I like to sit around 80 to 100 and let people overtake me.

Thanks! It was interesting to say the least, lol. I agree though, 80-100kph is really where the Cap feels more comfortable, at 140kph the noise is also insane!

I own a 1993 Cappuccino and live in the Netherlands. It is such a fun car! The only big disadvantage of the driver's position is at the right side, is that overtaking on a two-lane road is extremely dangerous. So I just don't. The trick I've learned to not go too much to the left side of my lane is to have a visual marker point. When the slot between the hood and the right side front panel is in line with the white marker lines of the road, you're good. Also, when driving on the highway, you have to think like a motorbike driver. Anticipate, being cautious, because you are extremely vurnable in such a small car. An accident will probably kill you. Other than that, I think it proves that drive a tiny sports car like this can give you more satisfaction than e.g. a Porsche 911.

Thanks for the comment! I completely agree with you. Being so small, it's easy to have much larger vehicles miss you just like they would a motorbike. It's key to be alert and anticipate other's moves. As for driving, I compared this to my Porsche Boxster from a handling perspective but the Cappuccino, and most other kei sports cars, are leagues ahead in the fun department. In fact, the Cappuccino has been, to date, my favorite car to drive!

Fantastic observations! I must note that if your area hasn't transitioned to cashless tolls, it will eventually, so the toll paying inconvenience shouldn't be a long term issue, I would think. I'd only be irritated by larger vehicles trying to intimidate me...too much unnecessary road aggrssion these days against complete strangers. But if we were all logical, no one in the US would have imported any Cappuccino.

Thanks for the comment! Agree, most tolls are going the way of cashless so soon won’t be an issue/inconvenience. Driver’s have been more aggressive than usual over the past 2 years. I’ve been trying to do some videos with my AZ-1 but have been hesitant because of this. Be safe out there!

Great video man! Plans for the car.?
