Aptly named, the Honda N-Box is the brand's most-popular product in kei car segment
As you'd expect from Honda; it's fun drive, feels tight, and is very smartly designed
Honda are the BMW of Japan.
It manufactures sharp driving tools; and once equipped nearly-all of its passenger car line-up with a sophisticated double-wishbone suspension setup.
It only took the Porsche and its 911 some 50+ years to get to that stage. Honda builds cars properly, and also believes in clever design.
Things like magic seats come to mind, which you’ll know all about if you’ve ever driven a Honda Jazz. Similar seats feature in the Honda N-Box too, which means you can fold them up or down in myriad ways to turn it into a little van.
The second row of seating will fit two six-foot adults comfortably and allows them to recline their seats back. Alternatively, a pair of child seats will fit via ISOFIX mounting points.
Overall, it’s extremely comfy in every seat of the Honda N-Box. The engine feels strong, and the ride more controller than other kei-class cars. Its steering feels more precise, too.
