Our Take:
- Rare Kei Car Delight: The 1998 Honda Z is a kei car, a category of small vehicles in Japan known for their efficiency and economical nature. While these tiny titans were commonplace on Japanese streets, finding one stateside is akin to spotting a unicorn, making it quite the collector's item for JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) enthusiasts.
- Turbocharged Fun: Under its petite hood, you'll find an E07Z turbocharged engine. Despite its modest displacement, this engine adds a surprising zing to the drive. Back in the late '90s, adding a turbo to such a small engine wasn’t just innovative—it was downright charming.
- All-Wheel Drive Charm: The all-wheel-drive system is a bit of a luxury for a kei car. Perfect for handling less-than-perfect road conditions, this feature sets the Honda Z apart from many of its kei cousins and adds a layer of robustness to its playful character.
- Immaculate Import: This particular model's recent import status and low mileage—only 50,111 miles!—mean it's almost like a time capsule from the past. Plus, with documentation ensuring a legal trek across the Pacific, there's a certain thrill in driving a piece of automotive history that's been specifically tailored for overseas enthusiasts.
