Our Take:
- Unique Design: The 1989 Suzuki Alto Walkthrough Van is a true oddball in the automotive world. Its quirky design, which allows you to literally walk through from the front to the back, made it a popular choice for small businesses in Japan. But outside Japan? Well, it's like finding a Sapporo beer in a Nashville bar—rare, but appreciated among connoisseurs.
- Engine and Performance: This little van is powered by a 550cc engine, which might not sound like much. But in the kei car world, it's all about efficiency and fitting into Japan's stringent regulations for small vehicles. With a top speed of 55-60 mph, it's designed more for city cruising than for a cross-country trek, but that's part of its charm.
- Manual Transmission: The manual transmission makes it a fun and engaging drive for those who appreciate the nuances of stick shifts. In an era where automatics are taking over, driving this van is like playing a vinyl record in a world of streaming playlists—a nod to the past that's oh-so-satisfying.
- Commercial Appeal: Given its history as a utilitarian vehicle, many of these would have been put through the wringer, making a well-kept one like this a rare gem. With its clean Virginia title and low mileage, it’s perfect for anyone looking to add a vintage touch to their business or personal collection.
