Several members drive Japanese models.
From my memory, member Dacia drives one in Japan, when several members bought them to Canada.
For some reason they don't make it to USA.
From what I heard, Japanese take good care about those cars, but you have some troubles with radio and command centers.

Yes, the radio will not tune in properly on AM or FM due to different tuning steps.

I have a JDM E55. First step throw the radio in the bin. As far as I can tell they are otherwise identical.
