Americans are falling in love with Honda Street Kei vans because they are so practical and affordable — as well as fun to drive.
Originally sold only in Japan, the Honda Street is much smaller than American minivans. Yet it is surprisingly roomy inside thanks to an extremely space-efficient design and clever seating that comfortably seats four adults with ample legroom and elbowroom.
Americans have been snapping up second-generation Honda Streets since 2015 when models with 656cc engines finally became 25 years old and therefore importable from Japan. The lucky owners have been using them for commuting, shopping, camping, delivery and much more.
When Americans see Honda Street Kei vans in the United States, they invariably give a thumbs up and smile in approval because the small, boxy body has such an appealing personality. Like all second-generation Japanese Kei vans, the body is only about 129.7 inches long, 54.9 inches wide and 74 inches in height, while the engine is just short of 660cc, which is more than sufficient for such a lightweight vehicle.
The interior is simple and durable with excellent Honda craftsmanship, practical materials resembling those of contemporary Civics and optional amenities including air conditioning, power steering and dual (front and rear) heaters. Passengers of all sizes can enter and exit with ease because the floor is low and there are sliding rear doors on both sides, as well as front swinging doors. Large windows provide a clear panoramic view, and all of the side windows can be rolled down for ventilation.
The rear seats can be folded flat to create a large cargo area that sleeps two adults in comfort or carries large items like doors and plywood. Up to 440 pounds of cargo can be carried in back and loading is simplified by a low floor and large rear door.
Handling is excellent with tight, precise steering and only slight oversteer when cornering fast on gravel or slippery surfaces. The ride is quiet, somewhat stiff but comfortable.
A 3-cylinder, 12-valve SOHC 656cc engine (E07A) delivers more than ample power at low to medium speeds and sufficient power for highway driving. It’s the same reliable engine powering the JDM Honda Beat and Honda Today and is mated with a low-geared 4-speed manual, 5-speed manual or 3-speed automatic transmission.
The engine is mounted just in front of the rear axle, resulting in a quieter ride than in microvans with front-mounted engines. Mileage is about 40 mpg on highways and 50 mpg around town, while horsepower is 38 PS, torque is 40 lb·ft and top speed is 71mph. Of course, power can be increased with minor modifications and the speed limiter can be removed with ease to increase top speed.
Various versions of the Honda Street are available with features such as full-time AWD, side panels in place of windows for businesses, and an extra-high roof suitable for carrying someone in a wheelchair. New Honda Streets were never exported outside of Japan, but used models over 25 years old can be imported to the United States.
This white 1991 Honda Street is a good example of the numerous models you can find in excellent condition in Japan. It features air conditioning, a sunroof, a 656cc engine and impressive hauling capabilities rivaling those of short-bed trucks. The steering wheel is on the right hand side, but you’ll find it easy to get used to and great for shifting if you’re left handed.
Parts are reasonably priced and easy to find through online stores and Honda dealers. English service manuals are also available. Most components are shared with the popular Honda Acty microvan and parts for newer models often fit older models. Japan Car Direct can also ship you parts from Japan.
If you find the Honda Street irresistible like so many Americans these days, contact Japan Car Direct. You may be surprised at how easily you can directly import a very affordable secondhand model in excellent condition with help from your experts in Japan.
From finding the right vehicle to making the purchase and shipping it to your nearest port, we make the entire process easy and enjoyable. Of course, this is true whether you are seeking a microvan, kei truck, JDM sports cars, German luxury car with left or right hand drive, or any imaginable vehicle in Japan.
Depend on the company with friendly English service and all the right connections — Japan Car Direct.

JCD was able to accommodate my unique needs, everything from short turn around inspections, expert opinions on bidding, arranging quick turn shipping, and handling of docs. I have no reservations sending more tens of thousands of dollars for future imports. At the end of the day, they really wanted to make me a happy customer. read less

Mike Nguyen was super patient with me and my indecisiveness. He was very quick to respond, and very informative on all my questions. He helped my sort through options until landing a 1kz-te Land Cruiser Prado. It ended up being in better condition than I was anticipating, and was able to drive it 5 hours home from port without a single issue. Cannot recommend Japan Car Direct enough! read less

The detailed videos where Mike would translate and explain the Japanese auction sheets and inspections provided great clarification so I knew exactly what I was getting with my car. I have to also commend Mike's swiftness when it came to replying to emails and phone calls, he would always reply near on instantly and even outside of normal business hours just to ensure I was never left in the dark through the bidding and shipping preparation processes.
I could not recommend JCD enough for any potential self importers! read less

For me the back-and-forth communication was the reason why I decided to go with japancardirect. Being able to see the auction trucks that are coming out and getting a detailed translation of the auction sheet is awesome. At first, I was a little hesitant sending money for a car overseas that I haven't actually seen in person, but Mathew stayed with me even at times when I was less patient. Thanks for all the help you and your team provide. read less

Seeing the local retail prices gave me sticker shock, so I immediately thought there has to be a better way. Sure enough, that way is Japan Car Direct. Yoshi and team are knowledgeable, professional and responsive. They do what they say they are going to do before, during and after the transaction, they are in it for the long haul. The result of reviewing the auction listings and acquiring/importing yourself (with help from JCD) is substantial savings and the satisfaction of paying a fair price. It's also fun if you enjoy searching for and identifying great automotive values. Would not hesitate to recommend their services to others and I will be back for more vehicles in the near future. read less

They were super helpful with my first time importing a vehicle to the US and were quick to answer all of the first-time questions I had about the process. The vehicle I got was exactly as I expected based on the pre-bidding inspection that they organized and I am beyond thrilled with my new (to me) little van. I'll definitely be working with them again for the next vehicle I look to import read less
