L900-series Move: the short version

The L900-series Move of 1998 to 2002 is Daihatsu's tall kei hatchback from the generation that defined the format. Engines run from the twin-cam EF-VE to the turbocharged, intercooled EF-DET, all of them 659cc triples. The Move's entire design argument is interior height within the fixed kei footprint, and it is the car most responsible for that shape becoming the default in Japan.

Odometer at 58,592 miles, call it 94,300 km. Daihatsu kei vehicles of this period arrive across a wide band of readings, and this one falls in the middle of it.

What it is for

A kei passenger car is built to the same statutory ceiling as a kei truck — 660cc, 3.4 metres, 1.48 metres — but with the whole package turned toward people rather than payload. Japanese manufacturers compete hard inside those fixed limits, which is why kei cars are so much roomier inside than their footprint suggests.

In the $8,000 to $12,000 band a kei car is normally either a turbocharged specification, a four-wheel-drive one, or a model that was built in genuinely small numbers. The plain hatchbacks sit well below this.
