    I wish we had kei cars avaiable here in Europe. I don’t want a battlecruiser, I want a compact vehicle with lots of utility.

    I’m not in the market for a family car; I’m not in the market for a family. Give me something like the Ford Ka with the shape of the Skoda Yeti/Kia Soul, with a trailer hook, foldable seats, and AC and we’re good.

      That thing is a full size minivan though.

      The kei cars are absolutely tiny, about the size of a Fiat. So you guys do absolutely have kei sized cars in Europe.

          Yes. But I’ve also read that the Dacia spring is a pretty small car so there’s probably other brands and models that would qualify.

          My mother-in-law drives a Toyota kei car in Japan and it can still fit five people. It’s a little bigger than my old 1990 Honda Civic.

            I had no idea Dacia made EVs! The Spring isn’t available here in Sweden.

            I’d rather not get an EV though. I’ll drive very rarely, and when I do it’s more like to be long distances so EVs just wouldn’t work for me.
