"Hey fellow enthusiasts, I just wanted to throw out a question because I've noticed something weird about my grandma's old Daihatsu Hijet - that thing has a mean acceleration for its size. I know it's not exactly a sports car, but 0-60 in like 15 seconds is pretty sick for a mini truck. Has anyone else noticed this or have any info on the Hijet's performance capabilities?"

"Dude, I've had my '98 Hijet for years and it's actually a beast on the road in terms of handling. Low center of gravity from the boxy design makes it surprisingly agile. Never thought I'd be saying this, but Daihatsu might've underestimated the Hijet's hidden potential"

"Dude, I just watched the video review on the Hijet's acceleration and I'm blown away by its hidden power. The thing can move when you need it to. 0-60 in under 10 secs isn't bad for a micro car."

Just saw this thread pop up and thought I'd chime in. I had a friend who owned a Daihatsu Hijet in the past, and from what I recall, the real gem was its handling and agility in tight city spaces. Definitely didn't think of it as a 'sleeper' car at first, but once you get used to it, it's actually a fun ride.
