0.66 liters.

Postby waikikikichan » Wed Nov 13, 2019 6:56 am

So the car my friend picked me up to go surfing with has a 660 cc. motor. That's only 0.66 liters.

( I think the 3 longboards on top have more liters )

So I’m trying to decide between two cars, one is 6’3 long with .66 litres and the other is 6’2 but .69 litres. Which will be better, Ive been driving for almost 3 months and like purple

You should stick to a double trailer truck until you know how to go straight and make basic turns with it. Then you can gradually go smaller. If you go for a Smart right at the beginning you'll get frustrated and give up driving! :lol:

I hope he doesn't have to go uphills that often! At least it's very small, so probably when it comes to torque/weight it probably matches my 1L car

Then the 2nd one is out as 690cc. is 30cc. above the maximum limit for Kei-cars in Japan.

Wow!! Is it a stock turbo? I was thinking how unusual it was for a 600cc to have a turbo, until I read what kei-cars are. So they have taxes benefits right?

Cheaper insurance, cheaper highway toll charge, etc. The Japanese government is starting to pull back on some of the benefits recently though. Kei cars make up to 30% of the cars in Japan.

Probably wouldn't make a good beach car as it has GULLWING doors.

But on 2nd thought ........... if I were to lock the door in the upright position ........ I could put a ton of boards up there.

It cracks me up that it has 4 doors. With 4 people and 660 cc it probably will need a push to get going haha

But think of all the money you save in speeding tickets
