Our Take:
- Rare JDM Gem: The 1997 Mitsubishi Bravo is a fascinating slice of Japanese automotive culture. It's part of the kei van segment, known for its compact yet practical design, which was primarily sold in Japan. Spotting one with California plates is akin to finding a four-leaf clover—despite its practicality, these models didn't often make their way across the Pacific.
- Unique Engineering: With its 3-cylinder engine, this little van isn't about breaking speed records, but rather about efficiency and charm. The kei car regulations in Japan mean it was built to deliver more with less, offering a low-displacement engine with surprisingly peppy performance for its size—think of it like a hummingbird with wheels.
- Features Abound: This Bravo is surprisingly loaded for a kei van, boasting all-electric windows and a moon roof, which weren't exactly ubiquitous features for vehicles of this class in the late '90s. It also includes twin sliding doors—practical for the tight spots often encountered in urban environments. Plus, the cold A/C adds a touch of comfort for those sunny California drives.
- Driving Experience: The 5-speed manual transmission and right-hand drive add to its exotic appeal. Handling a right-hand drive car in the U.S. is a unique experience and a fun challenge for any car enthusiast. It thrills beyond just the drive; it’s about the whole experience—like savoring a rare vintage wine from a foreign land.
