Suzuki Cappuccino

1smokehouse · 05-20-2018, 03:40 AM

My son in-law is in the Navy and his sub is in dry dock in San Diego, so he asked me to drive his Cappuccino today while he is off-island. It's a small 5-spd RHD 2 seater Kei-Car powered by a 3 cyl turbocharged engine @ 64hp.

All I can say is WOW! what a fun car! It was the first time I drove a manual RHD car, so that part was a bit of a challenge at first but after a few miles I got the hang of it. This little thing actually has some torque! Was like riding a go-cart when I was a kid... Had me grinning from ear to ear by the time I got home from the short drive.

Sometimes it's not about he horsepower...

Fun

Ha. It's a Miataita!

Actually, it's frequently not all about the horsepower. Suzuki knows this better than almost anyone because of its motorcycles.

Just when you think a Miata is small...

Yes, small cars are fun to drive and seem to be more tossable even if they don't have a lot of power, which is why I love the 135is. I was somewhat younger when I was stationed overseas for eight years in Europe. Lots of small cars, so you kind of get used to it. I really don't like big cars. Especially in a city environment. It's much easier to maneuver, find parking, get down narrow streets etc.

All i can think of is Initial D when it comes to that car.

Okay, where's the reference to Starbucks. Asked for a Suzuki Cappuchino, and they thought I was crazy.
