In the realm of quirky K cars, the 2017 Honda N-Box emerges as a peculiar blend of Honda's eclectic models, showcasing a design fusion reminiscent of a wild automotive experiment gone right. This pint-sized wonder exudes an air of affordability akin to the Kia Soul, coupled with the practicality of the Honda Fit and Jazz, all while sporting the distinctive rear end of the Honda Element. However, beneath its charming facade lies a peculiar seven-speed transmission that leaves much to be desired, coupled with a suspension setup that seems to have a split personality, offering a bouncy ride that may not suit everyone's tastes.

While the N-Box charms with its spacious interior and versatile rear seats that make loading cargo a breeze, its performance on the road raises some eyebrows. The team delves into the challenges of importing this unique vehicle into the United States, highlighting its minimalist appeal and modest speed capabilities that may not align with American driving preferences. Despite its fuel efficiency prowess, questions linger about the N-Box's safety and overall practicality in a market dominated by larger, more powerful vehicles.

As the discussion unfolds, contrasting car culture preferences between Japan, Australia, and the United States come to light, shedding insight into the N-Box's popularity as a city car in Japan. The team navigates Australia's intricate import regulations, offering a glimpse into the complexities of bringing unconventional vehicles like the N-Box into the country. Despite its limitations, the N-Box presents a compelling choice for those seeking a unique driving experience, blending space, fuel efficiency, and character in a compact yet distinctive package that defies conventional automotive norms.
