When the Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya starts his own YouTube channel, you’re probably expecting nothing but tuned cars and exotic machinery going full throttle on the touge or one of the many circuits littering Japan but let’s not forget that the man is still very much human and like all mortal beings, requires the occasional sustenance.

Tsuchiya was particularly blown away by the quick build up of boost, with it kicking in just above 2,000 RPM all the way to the redline.

Even the digital instrument cluster paid homage to the Honda S2000 with a layout in R+ mode that mimics the display from the S2000’s tacho.

He notes his preference for a proper manual in the name of being involved with the car but is also quick to concede that those chasing lap times and outright speed would opt for a dual-clutch or automatic with paddle shifters.

The brief on-the-rad impressions is filled with compliments regarding the car’s comfortable ride and ability to carry four adults without a fuss. Even the rear occupants commended the rear seat’s snugness during hard cornering but without sacrificing plushness.
