The 2021 Toyota Copen GR Sport is a rare gem. Originally a Daihatsu, this special edition wears the Toyota badge and benefits from chassis tuning by Gazoo Racing (the team behind the Supra and GR Yaris). Launched in **2019**, it sits on the 2nd Generation Copen chassis (debuted 2014) but features additional bracing, BBS wheels, and Recaro seats. It is a tiny, open-top sports car that delivers smiles per gallon rather than pure speed.

Strictly adheres to Kei car regulations:

• 660cc Turbo (KF-VET): 64 HP / 92 Nm. STANDARD Don't let the numbers fool you. In a car weighing just 850kg, it feels zippy. You can choose between a 5-speed Manual (with a Limited Slip Differential) or a 7-speed CVT with paddle shifters.

• Active Top: The electric hardtop folds into the boot in 20 seconds. Unlike a soft top, it provides excellent security and sound insulation when closed.
• Cargo Space: With the roof up, the boot is surprisingly large (fits a golf bag or two carry-ons). With the roof down, the boot is virtually non-existent. Pack light.

• Consumption: 18–22 km/l. It allows you to enjoy spirited driving without burning a hole in your pocket.
• Service: Engine parts are shared with the Daihatsu Mira and Move. Very cheap to maintain. However, body panels (bumpers, lights) are unique to the GR Sport and must be imported if damaged.
• Fun Factor: It is the cheapest convertible you can buy and run in Kenya.

Clearance Alert: At 110mm, it is extremely low. The "D-Frame" chassis is stiff, but the suspension is sporty and firm. It is strictly a weekend car for smooth tarmac. Do not attempt speed bumps at speed.

Features basic safety (ABS, VSC). The rigid frame provides decent protection for a car this size. Reliability is typical Toyota/Daihatsu—flawless. The roof mechanism is robust but keep the seals lubricated to prevent leaks.

The following are average showroom prices for fresh imports in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret.

Who is this for? The enthusiast who wants a convertible but doesn't have the budget for a Mazda MX-5. Who is it NOT for? Anyone taller than 6ft or heavier than 100kg—the cabin is tight.
