The modern kei cars are not bad. Japan made this standard that kei cars must be just as safe as normal cars.
They are safe enough to pass North American regulations.
In fact, Mitsubishi i is actually a kei car in Japan.
In North America, 660cc engine was replaced with electric motor(Mitsubishi i-Miev), but chassis/platform are all identical.
