【希少な軽トラ納車】24年落ち生産終了ダイハツミゼットⅡ内外装紹介&一般道高速道路走行レビュー&2人乗車体験【DAIHATSU Midget II】

Hello! I am “Coupy channel”. This is the “Daihatsu Midget II” manufactured 24 years ago. I bought it. wonderful. The toy-like atmosphere is the best. I feel like I’m riding a plastic model. Today, I would like to introduce the interior and exterior of the Midget II that I just purchased.

After that, we will shoot a video of the first run. I think it will be an interesting video. This car can drive on the highway. can you believe it? Surprisingly, it can seat two people. I’ll have my wife ride it later. I run with my wife. Introducing the performance.

The engine is 660cc non-turbo. Maximum output is 33 horsepower. Maximum torque is 51Nm. The drive system is FR two-wheel drive. The total vehicle weight is 880kg. It is the lightest in the car. Maximum load capacity is 150kg. The size is very small, with a total length of 2890mm.

The overall width is only 1290mm. No matter where you park your car, there will be plenty of space left. You can park anywhere. This car was manufactured in 2000. This is a used car that was manufactured 24 years ago. The mileage is 100,000km. The price is 598,000 yen.

I purchased it at a price of “598”. The mileage is 100,000km, but the body is in good condition. This car was manufactured in 2000. However, the following year, in 2001, production of the Midget II ended. This is the last, late model before production ends. The Midget II was first produced in 1996.

Production ended in 2001. So it has only been produced for 5 years. Therefore, the number of units manufactured is quite small. The first-generation Midget II had one front wheel and two rear wheels. It had a total of 3 tires. This is a late model.

The difference from the previous model is that the engine is now an injection type. Since it is an electronically controlled fuel supply type, it has good performance. The earlier model is a carburetor specification. As for the engine, later models have slightly better performance in terms of maximum output torque.

The blue color of the car body is very beautiful. It is a genuine color. “Midget II” is a rare color because most cars have green bodies. This is a truck model. There are also cargo models that are completely covered. I bought a 2WD because I only had a 2WD.

However, it snows in Toyama Prefecture, where I live. I don’t plan on going out on days when it snows. The main uses are taking out the trash and walking around the neighborhood. I live in the countryside. So I drive to the garbage collection point. It takes 3 minutes by car.

It takes 15 minutes on foot. So I’ll go by car. Since it’s a truck, you can load it with trash and throw it away. I have other ideas as well. I want to use it to remove snow from the garden. A large blade called a snow plow is attached to the front.

I want to use it as a small snowplow. I’m a YouTuber, so I’m concerned about the cargo area. Can I sleep in my car here? Set up the tent on the loading platform. Will it be “sleeping in the car” instead of “sleeping in the car”?

I think you can set up a tent by extending and modifying the loading platform. I think that kind of overnight trip in a car is definitely interesting. I’m looking forward to the perfect season for sleeping in the car. The ways you can use it are endless. Let’s check from the exterior. Exterior front.

The adorable face looks like a living thing. There is a logo called “midgetⅡ” in the center. In earlier models, the spare tire was located here. Later models have tires at the rear. There is one wiper. Since the area is small, one piece is not a problem.

There is something like a front fender that protrudes forward. It’s cool. The retro lights are adorable. Let it shine. Lights small. Turn on the lights. Turn on the hazard lights. The height is 1650mm. You can see the roof even when standing. The roof is beautiful. Exterior side.

The racing car-like over fenders are amazing. The door mirrors are of course manual. Look behind the driver’s seat. There is a fuel filler port. The tire wheels are 10 inches. It’s very small. The previous owner changed it to aluminum wheels. The air pressure of the front tires is 1.9kgf/cm2.

The air pressure in the rear wheels is 2.6kgf/cm2. It is low. Here is the maintenance record. It seems that the timing belt was replaced after the mileage exceeded 100,000 km. Now you can continue driving. Exterior rear cargo area. There is a very compact cargo area in the rear. The spare tire is here.

It can be easily removed. There is a mat. Since it says “midgetⅡ” on it, I think it is a genuine mat. The bottom of the mat is beautiful. Measure the size of the cargo bed. The length is 115cm. The width is approximately 120cm.

I think you can easily fit about 10 garbage bags with a capacity of 45L. The loading platform wall is bolted on. It can be removed. Interior. Your heart will be excited by the compact interior. The handbrake is located here just before you enter the driver’s seat. It cannot be reclined.

You can place books, etc. in this space. There is a shift lever here. It is a 3-speed AT. MT looks interesting too. However, since my wife also drives, I bought an AT. For MT, the shift lever is located here. In the case of MT, it will be a one-seater.

The steering wheel does not have power steering. It’s very heavy. It is light when running. However, when the vehicle is stationary, you have to apply force to turn the handle. The meter is up to 120km/h. There is no engine speed meter. The window is manually turned by the handle.

This will open a window. There is only one sun visor. The rearview mirror is located on the passenger seat. Looking back, visibility to the rear is excellent. It was easy to retreat. Everything is concentrated in a compact space. It feels like you’re sitting in the cockpit of a racing car.

The passenger seat is laughably small. This is the only passenger seat available compared to the driver’s seat. Measure the size. The width is 31cm. When two people sit together, they have to be very close together. There is also a window on the passenger side.

The windows on the earlier model don’t seem to open. Of course, the passenger seat cannot be reclined either. When you push down the lever, there is a car jack. If you look closely, you can see the interior light in this place. This car has an air conditioner. The air conditioner is installed here.

There is an internal air circulation and an external air circulation. Operate with this lever. This will allow outside air to circulate. Raise the lever to circulate internal air. You can change the wind direction here. There are only two types of wind direction. You can change the airflow here.

This allows you to change the temperature of the heater. You can control the temperature of the air conditioner. Comes with a drive recorder. There was no ETC. It seems that the previous owner only drove the car in local areas and not on the expressway. There is nothing between the driver and passenger seats.

Get into the driver’s seat from anywhere. There is a radar detector in front of the driver’s seat. Installed by previous owner. There is a radio in a prominent place next to the meter. It has an old atmosphere.

If you drive while listening to this radio, the atmosphere inside the car will return to the year 2000. It’s also nice to enjoy the atmosphere. Driving on general roads. The sound of the engine echoes inside the car. It’s a surprisingly nice sound. This is the sound from the muffler, but it’s quiet outside.

The lever on the right side can operate the turn signal. The hazard lights are located in the middle of the steering wheel. This is the wiper. There is also washer fluid. It’s cold so I turn on the heating. It’s fun. I think of it like a go-kart. It’s fast.

The creep phenomenon that occurs when you release the brake was faster than a normal AT car. I think it’s because the car is light. Acceleration after deceleration is very fast because the car is light. It feels so fast because it’s so close to the ground. It’s fun even when driving at 40km/h.

The impact of the road surface is transmitted directly. This is similar to a sports car. Since it is a 3-speed AT, you will feel a shift shock during acceleration. Add gasoline. Fuel is regular. The fuel tank is 31L. I refueled. Drive on public roads in the city.

I am currently driving at the speed limit of 50km/h. The engine noise is loud. What happens when you get on the highway? It is a light car engine with a 3-speed AT. It feels like the engine is running at high revs instead of running at low revs. Check visibility.

The front window extends all the way to the top, giving it a sense of openness. Close to the side window. It feels like I’m riding a bike. Commonly seen by pedestrians and oncoming drivers. If you see a car like this driving around town, you can’t help but see it. It’s a little embarrassing.

You can accelerate without any problem. I thought the acceleration was very slow. However, I have no problem keeping up with other cars from the time I turn the green light until I reach the speed limit. Slow down in corners. You can accelerate smoothly.

There are no hills in this area of ​​Toyama Prefecture, so I can’t check the performance on uphill roads. Driving on mountain roads looks like fun, so I’d like to try it someday. There is a stop sign. Step on the brakes firmly. It stopped solid.

Because the vehicle is light, it stops like a bicycle. Perfect for short rides around town. However, the inside of the car was so small that the windows started to fog up. Ride comfort is not very good.

Since the seat is at a right angle, it is difficult to sit for long periods of time. Even when curved, there is not much hold. Your body will be supported by your legs and handles. Cornering is good. It feels good to drive. It doesn’t swing left or right at all.

It can bend to stick to the ground. The width of the car body is narrow. If you use wide lanes and drive “out-in-out,” you will be able to make sharp turns smoothly. Of course, only when there are no cars behind you. The car is narrow so you can fit anywhere.

Normally, I wouldn’t want to drive on a road like this. I think of it like a bicycle. I have come to a dead end. You can easily turn around even in tight spaces. It’s interesting. I remembered the first time I rode a moped. Next, we will drive on the highway. Are you okay?

It seems very fast. I’ll try running one section and if it’s dangerous, I’ll go home right away. Enter the highway. I’m accelerating as fast as I can. Currently it is 70km/h. Currently it is 80km/h. I entered the main line at 80km/h. The engine sound is loud inside the car. It’s surprisingly fast.

It was good. Cruising at 80km/h is the limit. You can even go faster than this. However, the engine noise becomes very loud. It feels so fast. It feels like 120km/h of a regular car. I was worried about whether it would sway in the wind. The wind is strong today.

There are no wind obstructions on either side. However, the car is surprisingly stable. It has the stability of a regular car. It was unexpected. I was recently overtaken by a truck. It did not sway due to wind pressure. If you just put up with the engine noise, it’s surprisingly comfortable on the highway.

Freeway cornering is stable. I feel like I’m running in “Mario Kart”. The engine is making a loud noise. Steep uphills can be difficult. I will verify it in the future. merit and demerit. It was an exciting run.

I would like to introduce the advantages and disadvantages that I felt while riding the “Midget II” today. First, let me explain the disadvantages. The age of the interior is no longer a disadvantage, but instead becomes an attraction. So, I will mainly introduce the disadvantages that I felt while driving.

The interior of the car is small, so the inside of the glass fogs up quickly. I was using heating. Changing from internal air circulation to outside air brought some relief. However, the glass became cloudy. Regular cars have an AC switch for the air conditioner.

Press the AC switch to remove fog from the inside of the glass. However, this car does not have an AC switch. What should I do? If anyone knows please let me know. Apply an anti-fog agent to the inside of the glass for a while. I drove around town today.

I have no complaints about the driving performance. However, I feel that other people are watching me. I knew this before purchasing. It was often seen by pedestrians in the city and in high traffic areas. The windshield is close, and the left and right windows are also close.

I feel like I’m being watched from all directions. It was a little embarrassing. Was the pedestrian observing me thinking there was a strange old man there? As you can see in the driving video, it is very noisy when driving on the highway. Road noise is audible.

There was so much noise inside the car that I had the illusion that I was outside. The engine was under the seat, so I could hear it very well. If you are going on a trip with the Midget II, it is best to mainly drive on public roads.

Although the engine noise is a disadvantage, it is great that the sound is transmitted well and you can feel the vibrations. It has a bold atmosphere that modern cars don’t have. It looks like a toy, but it’s a lot of fun.

I just go to the neighborhood to take out the trash, but it’s fun. On the way home, I almost take a detour and end up on a narrow road. I think camping with the Midget II is definitely fun. You can drive on any road.

It would be interesting to go looking for your own secret place. I want to go soon. problem. It looks beautiful. However, since it is a very old car, we found some problems. The first problem is a crack in the cargo bed. How do I repair this? I want to repair it.

It looks like it’s going to rain. The second problem is the one that bothers me the most. Turning the handle makes an unpleasant sound. Can I repair this myself? I bought it online, so the store is far away. Please check with your local Daihatsu dealer.

The third is the loading platform used when “staying on top of the car.” I would like to set up a tent on top of the loading platform. I’m looking for a way. Remove the wall and place a wooden plank that can be knocked down. And further extend the wooden stand.

You will also need a rod to support the board. I’ll make it myself. Once completed, we will spend the night in the car and take a video. Then I’ll call my wife. I’m in the car with my wife. How will my wife react? I’m looking forward to it.

My wife and I ride together. This is “Midget II”. What do you think? This car is very small. This car is cute. Does this car have a capacity of 2 people? yes. Can two people really ride? This car resembles a car drawn by Akira Toriyama. I certainly think so.

It’s a very cute car. It has a design that is not found in modern cars. Looks like a cartoon. This car has already been discontinued. really? So I thought I’d buy it now. There is no guarantee that you will be able to purchase it in the future.

This is a very rare and valuable car. yes. I’ve seen this car around town once in a while. I never thought I would buy that car. When I lived in Nara Prefecture, I often passed by this car. Someone in my neighborhood had this car. yes. I was jealous.

Load the garbage bag here and go to the garbage collection point. It’s the perfect size. We go by car to take out the garbage. However, when I took out the trash with N-VAN, I didn’t like the smell because it seemed like it would transfer to my car.

I don’t like it when garbage drips. That’s why this car is perfect for you. With this, there is no problem even if it gets wet in the rain. The headlights and mirrors are round and cute. It has a retro atmosphere. Let’s ride quickly. Please ride. I think it’s small.

Can you really sit here? The passenger seat is only half the width of the driver’s seat. This is a bonus chair. ride. My butt sticks out. My head hit the ceiling. Close the door. I feel pressured. However, I was able to sit down surprisingly without any problems. It’s interesting.

You can drive from this seat. I think of it as an attraction at an amusement park. This is an attraction where you pay 100 yen to play. yes. I think it’s an attraction because it’s close to the wall. I’ll ride too. My uncle has arrived. It’s narrow. I have some leeway.

But I want to get behind the wheel. This is what happens when you grab the handle. Now this. I’m being driven away. It seems like I get hit every time I turn right. Don’t turn right again. Fasten your seat belt. If we are not good friends, we cannot ride together in this car.

Start the engine. yes. I can hear the engine sound. I hear a loud noise. yes. Let’s go around the neighborhood. yes. It’s an interesting structure. The handbrake is on the right side. depart. The car moved! It’s fast. You get in the way when you turn the steering wheel. move on. I’m scared.

The speed is still 30km/h. really? It feels so fast. It’s similar to go-karts at an amusement park. It behaves like a go-kart. You can see the scenery clearly. The windows are big. Is fun? It’s fun. You can travel this much with just one lane. yes. That’s excellent.

The width of the car is narrow, so you can go anywhere. It’s interesting. You can go to places you have never been before. I don’t really want to drive on this road. I certainly think so. But with this car, it’s easy to get there. The running noise is loud. yes.

I can hear the outside sounds very well. I think of it like a toy. Open the window. Do you open the window manually? yes. You have to turn a lot of levers. You can feel the atmosphere of the Showa era. However, this car was manufactured in the Heisei era.

This car was manufactured 20 years ago. You can change direction quickly. This car is too old. you are desperate My husband and I have insurance for this car. So you can drive this car too. I also wanted to drive. Let’s go around the neighborhood together. Can I do it well?

Please sit in the driver’s seat. What did you think when you sat down? The driver’s seat is wide. Are your feet and pedals separated? Are you saying my legs are short? you are rude Let’s match the chairs. Can the chair be moved? Move the chair forward. Is it in front?

That position was the most forward position. Let’s drive now. got it. Have you checked the accelerator and brake? yes. Please step on the brake once. The handbrake is here. Should I press it? Please press. Older cars usually had handbrakes like this. I’ll ride too. My uncle has arrived. The body is pressed.

It’s difficult to put on your seatbelt. yes. I was able to sit down. You must sit close to the door. If you sit normally, it will get in your way. How do you move the side mirrors? Turn the lever. Is it the window lever? Should I correct the position manually? please confirm.

I see. Is there a problem with the rearview mirror? understood. Doesn’t the passenger seat have an airbag? yes. Only the driver’s seat has an airbag. It’s ready. Let’s leave. How do I start the engine? Turn the key to the right. Please lower the handbrake. Is this the shift lever? Set it to “Drive”.

Is this alright? yes. Release the brake once. Move forward with the creep phenomenon. Hit the brakes again. This car has a strong creep phenomenon. that’s right. The creep phenomenon alone makes it run faster. i can’t believe. It bends. move on! The handle is solid. i can’t believe. move on.

It’s scary to drive this car on public roads. Doesn’t it feel like a game? I think so. I think of it like a toy. let’s go. Step hard on the accelerator. Now the speed is 15km/h. really? It’s faster to walk. you are noisy The handle resembles one at an amusement park.

It doesn’t look like a modern car. I think so. I have to take out the garbage with this car. Can I do it? Does this car have 4 tires? yes. It looks like there are three tires. Do you want to go over there? yes. This car accelerates strangely. That’s a transmission shock.

I felt it now. It feels good to run through the fields. I think so. Even just going to take out the trash can be an adventure. I think so. Just bending is difficult. For men, the stiffness of the handle is not an issue. However, women find it difficult to drive without power steering.

I am used to driving “N-VAN”. The car body is small, but the windows are large. I can see the sky clearly and it feels good. This sense of openness is wonderful. wonderful. The passenger seat cannot move at all. If it moves, it will get in the way of the driver. Don’t move.

I feel like I’m being imprisoned in a very small room. It may be difficult for two men to ride together. I don’t think it’s possible for two men to ride together. It’s impossible unless you’re really good friends. Perfect for children and adults. I think so. I want to drive with my daughter “Kupimi”.

Can I install a child seat? yes. It is a 3-point seat belt. However, if you install a child seat, it may put pressure on the driver’s seat. Indeed, that may be the case. A very small car seat may be best. Is It was fun? it was fun.

It was my first time feeling that feeling. I certainly think so. It’s a feeling you don’t get in modern regular cars. I understand that this is an old car. I think it will be difficult until you get used to it. yes.

However, it was fun and I want to get used to it as soon as possible. Let’s drop off and pick up our daughter from kindergarten in “Midget”. wonderful. It’s perfect. I go camping as a “midget.” Are you going camping with this car? Can you really do it? I’m looking forward to it.

From now on, let’s take a video of the camper or “midget.” A new friend has joined us. What will happen in the future? Can this car accommodate 3 people? Three people cannot ride. Please get on the carrier. My daughter sits in the passenger seat and I drive. Why? Please get on the carrier.

It’s a punishment game. Let’s play a punishment game. First, let’s take out the trash and get used to this car. yes. Let’s go on long trips with this car in the future. yes. Tomorrow is the day to take out the garbage. Well, you can take out the garbage tomorrow. Is it right away?

This is my first time sleeping in a used car “Jill 520” that was manufactured 13 years ago. Use hot showers and cook in your car. On the expressway, the Jill 520 was hit by winds of over 10 m/s and rain.

We post the latest information on Twitter and Instagram. Please take a look. Details are listed in the summary column. Next time, I will be traveling overnight in a car for the first time since purchasing the Jill 520. Please subscribe to the channel and take a look!
