The Honda Life is a member of the Japanese 'Kei Car' family specifically built for fuel economy and manouverability in small spaces. The concept developed following the Second World War as a stepping stone for the not so affluent Japanese citizens of the time to afford transport that provided cover for the occupants while at the same time being accessible to the majority of the population. In the early days these cars were basic simply providing the means for users to get from A to B. In 2008 the 'Kei-Car' is a different animal all together as most models are endowed with all the bells and whistles that modern technology has to offer the motoring public. Boasting twin air bags, ABS braking, central locking, power steering, power windows, power mirrors and much more, the Honda Life sits at the cutting edge of motoring technology as it reaps the benefits of billions of dollars of research and development spent by Honda Corporation over many years. With the current fuel crisis in full swing the Honda Life is an attractive option for the environmentally astute buyer who wants to facilitate the individual transport option while at the same time exercise responsible choice in vehicle selection at a time when each of us must make a contribution to ensure we do not become part of the environmental problem, but rather, become part of the solution. With the most up to date emmission control options and factory statistics boasting an amazing 20 kilometers traveled while using only 1 litre of fuel to cover the distance, is is any wonder there is an upsurge in interest worldwide for the Honda Life motor car?
