AIXAM 500 DIESEL. lean mean fuel machine

This car helps me look after the planet as best as possible until i can get an electric car that is charged by solar panels. we need to take care of this place for future people to enjoy the wonders of this planet !!!!! im deadly serious about this. go green as possible ! you know it makes sense.

Just got my own 2002 Aixam 500 superluxe diesel and I'm converted, I was that person "I wouldn't be seen dead in one of those cars" but I honestly love it, I have a smile on my face every time I'm out driving, definitely a keeper and time to plan some small road trips for the summer 👍👍

The fact that it pisses people of is enough for me to give it a thumbs up!!

[joeyholthusen]

I'd love to buy one if they can just ship one to grygla mn. Let me know the price with shipping.... especially if they make a turbo diesel. 😊

I have a Aixam A721 2005 with this same Kubota engine, i love it, very economic, with a big space to transport things inside.

Have had 80 plus mpg from an Audi A2 and similar on run from a Smart CDI, Aixam are OK they might be all the car someone needs. Are driveable on a motorbike licence. difference is the Smart CDI was until recently zero VED

Hi, wow it's weird to see a right hand drive Aixam.
I live in France, VERY rural, and after my mother died, I needed to get about. Problem - no driving licence. Solution? An Aixam 400 that I called "Felicity". She taught me to drive and did me for a year until the rear pulley started to fail. The cost of repairs was more than the car would be worth, so I traded in for an Aixam GTO (that I call Caoimhe!).
But, yes, the fact that I can pull into a petrol station with a half empty tank and fill it for about €9 is kind of mind blowing.
The French don't tend to give rude gestures. They just go around, at speed, on a blind bend, with oncoming traffic. I have a dashcam. One of these days it'll record something YouTube worthy, and facepalm inducing.
The only bad thing about Aixam (other than the racket) is the price. As a specialist car, they're horribly expensive. But, you know, something comfortable to drive *without* a licence? Yup. And, okay, it only does 45kph (a mite under 30mph, it's the legal limit), but that's fine. I'm not one of those people that smokes two fags, chugs a coffee, and leaves for work twenty minutes late. I just take my time, enjoy whatever is on the radio, and the scenery of the country roads and endless green fields.
So, from one Aixam owner to another, 👍.

Nice! That is some pretty serious mileage! My son is right there with you on going green. He has a Chevy Volt (electric), and spent the money to put solar panels on his home.

Gary, when have you ever been normal lol? That's why we love you guys so much. I love the car it's fantastic. Great video as always my friend. Su x

[ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD]

thanks so much for popping by, please please feel free to leave a funny comment in making fun out of this car, laughter is the best tonic. In the past it has been called a tupperware special, a pram and many other names, i have been called all sorts of swear words by people caught up in the system where your image is seemed to be more important, my image is not as important than caring for the planet and i dont need a flashy car to make other things look big. Thanks BE FREE AND TAKE CARE ALL.

[NoBudgetHomestead]

LOL! Great quadracycle review! Trust me Gary, I don't think you are normal! That's why we like ya! If we were normal, we would be driving expensive cars we cannot afford to impress people we don't like and have a debt load relative to what our countries have!.. Now, if you could only get the Aixam car company to sponsor your channel you would be doing even better! :-) Keep the great vids coming! Y'all have a simply unbelievable day and God Bless!!

My first car was a fiat 500, the old ones... loved that car, we called it Dougal, dont know why. Had problems with the exhaust shaking itself free from the engine. It even had a sunroof, a starter handle and choke handle. Oh those were the days, People are always in too much of a hurry to get places that they miss what it around them at the present. Enjoy your fire and stay warm.

[angryoctopusgaming]

We're could I get one in Scotland?

[rdkitchengarden]

LOL you are normal in my world. This will be a car for the future. Have a fun day

[davidlunn]

Most accidents are on urban roads so the speed these do is safest.

[getrog]

'Goes 55mph If the winds behind me' etc. etc. - lol you crack me up.

[ianofliverpool]

Yours has had its 28 mph restriction removed, You would need a full driver's license to legally drive your car, To drive it legally it would need to be restricted to 28mph.

[TheEmptynester]

Hi, good to see you. I think it is a great little car. And you are wise to keep it going..
Best wishes. E :)
