I'M SICK OF DRIVING OBESE CARS. SO I WENT TO JAPAN AND DROVE THIS.

EV Channels Review

The reviewer explores the Nissan Sakura, a fully electric Kei car exclusive to Japan, contrasting it with the oversized vehicles common in the US. While praising its compact size, nimble handling, and surprisingly spacious interior for its class, the reviewer notes significant drawbacks. The steering is described as numb and disconnected, lacking feedback, and the acceleration, while torquey for a Kei car, is generally described as sluggish due to its limited 64 horsepower. Legroom is also identified as cramped for taller individuals. Despite these criticisms, the Sakura is lauded as an extremely practical and efficient city commuter, ideal for urban Japanese driving conditions with its low running costs and ease of parking. The reviewer expresses a desire for a Nismo version but acknowledges it would likely disqualify it as a Kei car.
