European Cappu owner here. Some additional info: - Usually the rear glass part goes down all the way, so Doug did not read the manual completely before this rewiew. You need to pull up the glass a little bit to achieve that. - Normally, the Cappuccino F6A does not rev to 11000 or 12000 but it cuts off earlier (9000...9500?). - This car seems to have a monster sport engine modification on it since it lacks the BOV on the turbocharger. There is a kit that gives it around 90 to 110 hp which includes the turbo, intercooler, injectors and the ECU. Rev limit on those is 11000 I think. Doing this with stock engine internals (valve springs etc) is... brave. - The car is NOT slow. Of course, if you compare it to a drag car or a modern car with a lot of power it is, but this thing has corners and mountains as its natural habitat, so driving it like a normal car in city traffic is not what it is meant to be used for. - The stock engine delivers its torque from 3500 rpm to about 6500 rpm and falls off above that in order not to exceed the kei car limit of 64 hp. It is likely that this modification shifted the power band up, so there is less "go" down low and more "up there". And yes, this Cappu is in quite bad condition...

8ish seconds is actually a pretty decent time for anything in the 1990s. Which isn't bad when most kei cars of pretty much any vintage do 0-60 in about 15 and take a quarter mile to do it, which puts it about on par with, say, a first gen Kia Sportage on the drag strip (and it would be an interesting race to see, come to think of it). That's about the same as the Acura Integra or the Cadillac STS of the era, which were relatively performance oriented cars, and not something deliberately engineered to fit regulations in the greenest, most city-forward car categories around.

The hood release is in the glove box because the glove box can be locked, it is to give some security when the car is left with the top down. The fuel filler flap release is also in a lockable compartment.

There is an additional latch at the top of the glass in the centre of the back window that needs to be undone as well, to allow the window and frame to fully drop into the body. The roof panels have a bag each, and fit upside down in the boot, with the centre panel on top. The centre console opens that way so you can hold it with your elbow when sitting the drivers seat while you grab items from inside of it. There is a speed limiter that only allows you to go to 140 Kph, you can't even push it past the speed limit, which is a good thing. The stock front bumper wasn't the best for holding the front end down at speed, replacement bumpers with a lip or an add on lip/splitter were common. Changing the stock air box for a pod filter was a super common mod, as were boost controllers (the stock ECU cuts boost at 17 PSI). The Cappuccino ended up in the UK, as the then head of Suzuki UK really wanted it sold there, and after some lobbying of Suzuki Japan managed to get it sold there. A lot of the Cappuccino's body panels are aluminium, helping reduce weight. The stock power is 64 HP/47 kW. The stock exhaust sounded fairly throaty from the factory, but there were plenty of Suzuki Sport OEM upgrades. Some examples in Japan had build motors and and a LSD that would put out 200 HP.

MVP comment, everything that Doug missed

The more I watch Doug's videos, the more I'm convinced that Americans have absolutely no idea what a slow car is. In Europe, the entry level BMW 1 series have a 109hp engine and a 0-60 of 10.6s. And this is NOT considered slow ! It would be seen as slightly above average (but not fast of course). Entry level cars from non-luxury manufacturers usually start between 60 and 80 hp. Those are actually seen as slow cars. Anything below 8sec 0 - 60 would be considered a powerful car though.

@NoName-ik2du

2 жыл бұрын

I think Doug's opinion is fairly skewed because he spends so much time around very high performance cars. Any average American around Doug's age or older should have been exposed to some much slower cars in their lifetime. Enormous cars with low output motors were the standard here for quite awhile; they were very nice cars, but they weren't going anywhere fast (think 0-60 times close to 15 seconds...in cars with massive V8s). And there were plenty of fuel-efficient imports available during this era that were even slower. Technically these cars were before Doug's time, but there still would have been plenty cruising the roads during his childhood. Maybe his parents were too wealthy and he never got the privilege of riding in one on the regular. All that said, the average modern car is getting pretty quick. Anything over maybe 9 seconds would probably be called slow these days; 8 seconds is probably average here now. Just tried looking up figures on a couple boring common cars in the US and found surprisingly inconsistent information. However, it looks like a 2022 F-150 with a 2.7L V6 (the smallest engine offered) has a 0-60 time under 7 seconds, and a 2022 Corolla with a 1.8L I4 (the smallest engine offered) has a 0-60 time under 8 seconds. The absolute cheapest American-branded car for sale right now (the Chevy Spark), does 0-60 in under 11 seconds. I know cheap doesn't always equate to slow, but I'm guessing you'll be hard pressed to find much sold here that's slower than that. Personally, I have no gripe driving cars with 15-second 0-60 times, and I'm generally pretty tickled if they can beat feet in under 10 seconds.

@torade100

I agree but I think it's expected since american cars usually have bigger engines and the fuel there is quite cheap, also the average american earns enough money to buy a decently powered car.

For anyone wondering, the rear window does go down further! It's two pieces, the glass and hoop are separate but linked by a little lock. It looks like Doug may have missed that little lock and left it in place! Usually the car yells at you with a buzzer when it's not down all the way, I guess this owner disconnected that alarm!

The center console locking makes sense with the fuel door release in there. If you left the tops off and were in an area where someone might siphon gas you can lock the center console preventing someone from just opening the gas door.

That's all he cares about now, anything old that gets submitted, that he hasn't reviewed yet, gets reviewed. Other examples of this are: The Autozam AZ1 with that tasteless quilted reupholstered interior, that SLK55 AMG with a MISSING center console lid, the black S500 W140 with its hideous paintjob, the Typhoon with that black cladding and pretty worn out exterior, the W220 S600 without the Segin triangle wheels, the Dakota Convertible, and for some reason even the EB110 he reviewed was a repainted example (former green) with a badly reupholstered interor in alcantara.

I remember seeing one of these here in the UK regularly going toe to toe with BMWs and buses in the late 90's and early 2000's. Brave soul! I think the owner moved on to a Copen because I stopped seeing the Capu around the time I started seeing the Copen. As if commuting across Leeds at rush hour wasn't 'interesting' enough!

I would love for Doug to keep explaining how the Doug Score came to be like he used to. "This car, although it feels fast, barely hits a 0-60 time of about 8 seconds, which earns it a 3 out of 10."

Doug scores anything that takes longer than 5 seconds to hit 60 at MOST a 3. It'd have to be one of his favorites.

I'm a big fan of Suzuki vehicles so I agree with you Doug! So good to be able to easily have a targa!

Glad Doug has finally started reviewing matchbox cars

Literally my dream car right now! Hoping to get one next year. That one has a broken rear window though, it should be going down all the way!

No I think he just forgot that there's a latch on the roof hoop that separate the hoop from the rear window that allows it to fold all the way down, and yes they absolutely worth it had mine for a year now

I wouldn't mind owning one if I can find a decent example. It wouldn't cost much to fill up and you can drive it enthusiastically without breaking the speed limit. The roof configuration is also a nice bonus 👌

Amazing the camera captures the dirt from this convertible. Great concept K car.

The Daihatsu Cuore was also sold in Europe! I see one often in Bremen, Germany, parked in perfecty kei car sized tiny parking spot in front of an town house, with a red interior.

Having 3 different roof stylings is very impressive for such a small car, especially with having a glass rear window.

It's actually got 4, and I'm surprised Doug didn't point this out. If you put only the middle panel in place and leave out the outer two panels, it becomes a T-top.

The power was actually limited to 63 hp by regulation, not necessarily by choice or capability

I owned this car and it felt very quick. The turbo even without modification made it so. Just don’t run the a/c at the same time!

Hey doug, you missed the latch on the main roof hoop that separates the rear window allowing the roof to fold all the way down and lock in place. Made the same mistake when I first bought my Cappy

Oh god, I love Dougs new shoes!!

So, it's a convertible, a targa, a t-top, and a coupe. Love it.

This is probably the only 'modified' car reviewed by Doug

I saw one of these cars yesterday and didn't know what it was. Now here is it being reviewed by Doug.

The hood and fuel door latches being behind locked panels makes perfect sense if you have the top open, it's just extra deterrence😁👌 I just tested a cappuccino out for the first time yesterday here in Japan and they really are awesome tiny little cars🤩

that's what i'm saying!! the hood release in my Suzuki X-90 is also in the glove box. the lady i bought it from erroneously attributed this to the car originally being RHD, and the engineers being too lazy to move it to the other side when importing it. a bit of smart design if you ask me. car batteries are so easy to steal its insane

I was wondering when you would eventually get this car LOL. I remember these very well since I was in Europe when these got there. Very fun compact, inexpensive rides and I would go for a Euro spec with the steering wheel on the other side if buying one to bring to the US. Interestingly those engines were a huge selling point - their small displacement meant you could crank them well past 10K RPM because they had such low rotating mass to deal with. With the speedo unlocked and some gearing changes you could easily take a modified one up to 100 mph. The sensation of going at that speed in a car that small really is like doing 200 mph in a larger car. As popular as these are though I suspect they never will officially make it here in the US because of US crash test regulations. This car versus a RAM 5500 on 41 inch tires you know which one wins in a fender bender. Although I can see the appeal as well for some ostentatious 5 foot tall Japanese dude cruising the streets of Tokyo in his LIFTED RAM 5500 with 41 inch tires LOL

I really enjoyed this video and if I ever see this car for sale in my area, it will be because of Doug that I purchase it.

I've been waiting for years to see how Doug fits in a capp

The Daihatsu copen comes in 3 different styles with their own unique bodykits, Toyota also sells a version under the GR brand and Honda has their S660. So the Japanese certainly have options in that category today.

This is my favorite of the ABC K cars. Good review and I am glad you enjoyed it. (:

I'm so happy that he finally reviewed all the ABC Kei cars

It makes sense that the fuel release and hood release are inside locking compartments. Means if you leave it parked somewhere in the convertible form, you can lock access to the fuel and hood releases!

Mine had the original bags for the roof and yes although it required some finegaling they would fit in the boot. Also the back glass should go further down if working correctly. Usually Doug finds the best examples of cars which this clearly isn't.

I actually own one of these, a 1997 Suzuki Cappuccino EA21R. Its a fun car, kind of fast if I'm honest. Not the fastest speed on the highway but killer turning ability (beyond even my skill, you'll see) So mine came with a Sony MiniDisc stereo, which is a quirky feature of the newer models like mine. This one shown in the video isn't in the greatest condition, obviously. Kinda wish I had given Doug a call before he reviewed this one because mine was completely unmodified. Sad news though; Spun it into a snow bank a week after owning it, so now it needs repairs. :( ...probably gonna get a bodykit too though :)

Yeah I think a lot of the appeal is the fact it's like a smaller Miata. The weight is comparable to an Exocet Miata but in terms of practicality, the capp keeps a roof, heat and ac, a windshield, doors, etc...
