KSAC 2 - The runabout (FINALS!)

[Hilbert]

So, I looked at the priorities, then I looked at the inspirations, and I decided to completely ignore them all!

So, here we have the 1984 Yojido Cedo 550 Fun Top Sun Picnic Fun Wheel Drive 4-Door 7-Passenger Van

In 1984, the new Cedo was unveiled. The car was revolutionary in terms of design! In terms of engineering it was exactly the same as the previous generation. However you did get a lot of new fancy engines!

Such as
550cc inline 3 (1984-1990)
550cc supercharged inline 3 (1984-1990, JDM only)
660cc inline 3 (1990-1992)
660cc turbocharged inline 3 (1990-1992)
800cc inline 3 (export only)
And a 1000cc inline 3, for the rich folks.

You also had plenty of transmission choices, from 2 or 3 speed automatic to 4 or 5 speed manual.

Now that was a whole bunch of interesting information!

The new Cedo came with what Yojido called “The Any Wheel Drive!” Meaning that you could get your Cedo with any wheel drive you want! FWD for hauling families? Sure! RWD for transporting haybales with the Cedo pickup? Hell yeah! 4x4 for reigniting the spark on your failing marriage? Absolutely!

Here are some reviews!

“Solid van if you have a deathwish”
“Bought one for my Mother-In-Law. She crashed and burned. LOL”
“I was thinking of buying an S-Class, but once I heard the new Cedo comes with flowers as standard, I just had to get one.”

If this car turns out to be even remotely competent, I’m going to be extremely surprised. It’s slow and clunky van that’s as comfortable as repeatedly stepping on a Lego piece. Right, and it’s also going to take the entire budget to buy one. But it has a flower, surely that’s bonus points. Right? Right???

Initially, the design was supposed to be a lot more similar to the Subaru Sumo

That idea was quickly buried, and the next van design looked a lot better.

That idea was also buried because I didn’t feel like it was cute enough, and the 3rd design was this one!

I have way too much time in my hands so here’s some fun lore
Production of the Yojido van ended in early 1992, after which a lot of derivatives popped up. The Europeans got the Ponto Ponter. In production from 1992 to 2022

1999 Facelift

And the Koreans had the Hangook T-Town, produced from 1992 to 2005.

OK, I raised the budget, and I am a bit busy now, but since I doubt much will happen in 7 minutes, I will cheat and say it is open now!

[Er_Foxone]

Also, it’s sad we cannot use Inline 2 or boxer 2 because cars such as the fiat 126 used those type of engines

[Kreator]

Curious, but would convertibles get a small stat buff given the game kind of hates them?

[Knugcab]

Not really. Since there are reasons why convertibles may not make 100% sense here, I decided to let them be a kind of “make them at your own risk” thing. Allowed, but if it’s a good idea is up to you…

1984 Velt 202 Komfort Coupe

The Komfort trim comes standard with the 1.0L 50hp engine, 4 speed manual, hubcaps, a driver side wing mirror, 8-track player, bootlid spoiler, cloth seats and softer suspension tuning.

Austrian manufacturer Velt, now owned by American conglomerate AVE, has updated the 202 compact hatch with a new body style, a 3-door coupe.
It is not sporty in the slightest, but is somehow one of the best handling beam cars I’ve made.

[alexandrathecat]

Adam Automobil Union now presents the 1984 Adam Luna! Take this small Liftback whereever you may need to go! Thanks to it’s 1.0L Supercharged Boxer 4 and around 60hp, the Luna won’t struggle to get there in time, and the RWD gearbox gives it a sporty feel on the occasional drive on the countryside or the highway! Only using an average of 6L per 100kms, you’ll be sure to keep both your wallet and your tank filled easily! And comfort wasn’t disregarded either! Enjoy 4 full seats while listening to the radio, or your favorite cassettes and the AC will make sure you don’t overheat on those hot summer days!

Order your Adam Luna now, for only 6850 kr.

Heya, I’m glad I get to participate since this challenge really inspired me again! I know this is probably not a good car considering the challenge stipulations, but I think it’s still realistic enough where it sits with the rules.

Nice car, I don’t know why would it have a third brake light though

[Hilbert]

3rd brake lights became mandatory in the US in 1986. Could just be early adapter and if the car was sold in the US, it would make sense to have a 3rd brake light even on the EU spec models.

However I should add, prior to 1986 3rd brake lights were rare even in the US. I’d say it’s maybe a bit odd but not that out of place. After all, the nordics loved safety features.

[Er_Foxone]

I meant to say that they were rare/optionals on standard cars, let alone econoboxes

[Hilbert]

Call it Safety++ package and it all makes sense.

Specs

                              

Engine

This 1984 trim of the 1980 Nuggy got the upgraded engine.
A NA 999cc single barrel eco carburetor I3
making 42hp, 64Nm of torque, and revving up to 5200RPM.
Although lacking any catalytic converter,
this little engine manages to clear on WES 5 emissions.
It’s simple, reliable and cheap to run.

                               

Drivetrain

A manual 4-speed delivers the power
through an open differential on a FWD platform.

                               

                               

Performance

With a weight of 726kg the I3 manages to get
the car from 0-100 in a modest 17.2 seconds,
and up to a topspeed of 148km/h.

                               

                               

Handling

A MacPherson strut front and a semi trailing arm rear
combined with progressive springs,
and twin tube dampers result in a pleasant ride.



                               

Interior

The interior is a standard environment with
4seats in fabric with a trendy print.
It comes with a basic 8-track and a cigarette-lighter.
