Well Most of u know I'm currently working at Toyota as a Detailer, just giving the demo and used cars a clean and vac...
I had just gave the Toyota Kluger a nice clean, brought it around to the front and noticed it was low on fuel, I went to go ask him, and he goes to me "can u go fill up the kluger for me????" I was speechless hahahahaha. i've dream't of taking this car for a test drive...
So off I went in the Toyota Kluger,
Initial response??? "Holy fuck whats with this thing, is it supposed to be accelerating this fast??" HAHAHAHA
I couldn't believe what i was driving... It was pretty awesome fun...
So yeah i went to go get fuel, i was standing at the fuel station for like 15 minutes, i had to put about 58 litres in the bastard HAHAHA...
But of course I had to take the long way, lukily there was some factories close by....
I was trying to get the back out on a few corners. lol
LOL.. 
Good Fun...
Final Opinion: Well lets just say I am gonna buy one, one day.....
Thanx for reading hahaha
Regards
Adrian

The Cuppucino is a Suzuki, not a Daihatsu.

At the end of the day, it's a 660 cc motor. The performance figures reflect that. Also because of its size, handling/ride is well below par. Looks groovy though - like a mini Lexus SC430.
Cappuccino was a Suzuki. It's a Kei car so to fit into that category they have to be below a certain capacity (660cc) and I think there are also some size limitations. There is no limitation with regard to forced induction so over the last 10 years or so, there have been a range of turbo and supercharged Kei cars.

they have a whole 48 KW as well (powerhouse). How are they at all based on a cappacino or an MR2 wannabe. They're the same class as a cappacino but thats about it. Aren't the cappacino's RWD aswell? Any way daihatsu should put a turboed Sirion GTi engine in them. Now that could be tasty! Or even the twin cam 1 litre from a GTti Charade

I dont care what anyone say's about the old cappuccino. My brother has the most powerful one in aus, at just under 700kg's, 104.5 rwkw and a top speed of just over 250km/h it can and will whip a lot of cars on the road.
The acceleration is unbelievable 
660cc or not, It's a fuck'n weapon!!!!!
Soon to be in zoom magazine

during the summer holidays, i attended TAFE NSW to do an automotive course.
during this course the teachers had organised a field trip to one of the toyota workshops in the south coast (forgot the name of the place though).
anyways - toyota and tafeNSW had some deal where they would work together to help young un experienced students that find an interest in the automotive industry. i think its called the t3 experience or something or other.
once we got there, we went through the clean ass workshop, not an oil drop on the floor which had many cars that were literally in our hands.
the cars in the workshop were a sportivo camry, sportivo celica, mr2 spyder, the new lexus soarer(forgot the name - the convertable one), a daihatsu copus, and a kluger (these things are fun to play with)
these cars "belonged to us TAFE kids" as the managing director said.
so we got to play around with them and everything.
i asked the dude about the copus and he said that it was a real unreliable car where it has no power nor torque.
this same dude owned a supra which he claimed was only one of the two in australia, this one, and a racing one. plates were DRF-71T
since you guys are toyota fanatics, i was wondering if you guys can clarify this.

Could possibly be a Group A, one of 500 made, but im sure we can track down more than 5 of them that have come through this forum alone.
But if its a Group A, there isn't many of them here, just more than 2.
