If there’s anything we should take from Japan, it’s treating cars like second class citizens behind transit instead of the other way around. The cute tiny cars are more a side effect of that.

    I’m mostly refer to daihatsu mira, a kei car that sometime fit with 850cc and 1000cc engine. Narrower than ford ka, which explain the stability. Very popular in my country at the time. Used to drive the L200 with 660cc engine and it’s pretty wobbly on 120kmph, and you can feel the turbulence when someone overtaking you. Fun car though, great for city driving, parking with this is never a problem.
