STORY

The Honda Life was a kei car sold in Japan, revived in 1997 and continuing through several generations as a tall, practical five-door hatchback. It competed in Japan's 660cc kei-car class with front- and all-wheel-drive options. It was discontinued in 2014, with the N-series kei cars taking its place.
