Honda engineered the Capa around a deliberate philosophy it called "Small is Smart" — chasing everyday usability and compactness over outright sales, which may explain why it sold for more than its cheaper Nissan Cube rival.

FactHonda engineered the Capa around a deliberate philosophy it called "Small is Smart" — chasing everyday usability and compactness over outright sales, which may explain why it sold for more than its cheaper Nissan Cube rival.
The Honda Capa, short for "capacity", is a small car produced between 1998 and 2002 for the Japanese market, a tall five-door wagon with a front-mounted engine and front-wheel or four-wheel drive. It was introduced at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show as the concept car "J-MW" and went on sale on April 24, 1998 with series code GA4; on September 16, 1999 a four-wheel-drive version with Honda's Full-Time 4WD system and the GA6 code was released. It was developed on the Honda Logo platform as the first generation of the J Mover series, was available through Honda Primo and Verno dealerships, sales were disappointing and the nameplate was discontinued in 2002.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Cooling the C6 RS6’s twin-turbo V10 took seven separate radiators and four electric fans under the bonnet.
The original RS6 debuted Audi's clever hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control suspension — and enough owners got tired of its leaking dampers that they ripped the whole system out for plain coilovers.
The C7-generation RS6 Avant never officially reached America at all — buyers there got the RS7 Sportback instead, running the exact same engine and platform in a different body.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
The new Outback's full-width tail light bar has a 2 ft ruler built in, for measuring whatever you are about to load.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
