The Nissan S-Cargo is a Snail Van Thing

[gavin]

I own one of these. Couple things he didn't mention: the transmission often likes to stay in 3rd when it should really be in 2nd, the side mirrors are often nearly impossible to see anything through, because all you get is a reflection of the dashboard in the window, and the handbrake is in a really inconvenient spot and jams into your leg when engaged. Also, it has no glove box, but an enormous dashboard, so a lot of stuff will end up there.

We have about 3, 000 of them in Australia - they were the rage in the mid to late 90's. They get converted into bakery delivery vans, coffee vendors, etc..

S-Cargo, the car that personifies dad jokes.

I’m so happy you finally got to drive this. Now you just need the pao and the bee 1 and you’ve driven the full set

I live in Manhattan KS and the local pizza place “AJ’s” bought Doug Demuro’s old S-Cargo as a pizza delivery truck. They stopped using a a year or so ago, but it was fun to see crawling around town.

This is the perfect delivery vehicle for a cupcake shop.

The parking markers have a second incredibly important function: They look like a snail's eyestalks.

I remember seeing heaps of these in New Zealand in the 90s being used by small businesses as delivery vans. Most second hand vehicles in NZ are imported from Japan, so most working class people are driving around in quirky Japanese cars.

Hey it's that small van that everyone likes very much! 🐌🚚

I seriously did a double take thinking doug demuro was re-uploading old videos. This channel is a much better home for such goofiness!

I've seen one of these once at my local Canadian Tire store. And I still wonder why "fun" is not part of automotive design anymore?

[MoultrieGeek]

Watched this twice, still trying to figure out how you did those amazing camera angles.

I'm (obviously) easily impressed.

[pathaze]

Would be even cooler if they’d used concealed headlights, and when you’d turn them on they’d raise out, about 6-8 inches above the hood, almost like how those marker lights on the side are on stalks.

That would essentially give it eye stalks and be super snail like lol.

The joy you must feel every time you get to say "Nissan S-Cargo."

1:40 is the kind of useful consumer-focused reporting I watch for. It's so frustrating when car reviews don't mention if I can fit several dead clones of myself in the back!

[LillaVya]

As a French Canadian, your French pronunciation really impressed me lol

[markvdean]

Ever since I found out there were more than just the Figaro in the Pike Car range I may have become slightly obsessed with them, so it's great to see you cover another one.

"You shouldn't buy one. So the prices will go down so I can eventually buy one." Preach it, Robert. I want a '96-'98 Celica GT Four THE MOST bad. And people have been calling them baby Supras and in the last year they've gone from $18k to almost $30k.

[jackthelad]

Seen a few of these in New Zealand. Didn't realise there weren't that many made. They're good cars for small business zooming around town - you get a lot of signage on the sides.

There used to be a takeaway restaurant in my town that had one of those for deliveries. I think it probably got them a bit of extra business because it stood out so much.
