The Subaru Pleo was one of the first street cars in Gran Turismo to feature a 7-speed Gearbox. Though not as well known as rivals Daihatsu Move or Suzuki Wagon R, this car was fun to drive both on and off the tarmac. In GT2, the Pleo RS was the quicker car between this model and it's similar looking 4WD version, the Subaru Pleo RM (not to be mistaken with "Race Modified").
Here is the car, with performance aspects that were noticed from my usage of this kei-car in it's stock form in Gran Turismo 2.

Subaru Pleo RS '98
The Subaru Pleo RS is a FWD Kei-Car powered by a 658cc 16-Valve DOHC Supercharged I-4 producing 63hp and 74 ft-lbs of torque and mated to the 7-speed CVT gearbox. Performance is similar to the Daihatsu Mira TR-XX Avantanzo-R and Mitsubishi Minica Dangan ZZ (which are also FF Kei Cars in the GT games), but has slightly better top speed. Handling is of a typical for a FWD City Car or Kei Car, very nimble at low speeds but at higher speeds starts to get some understeer. I believe it's a suitable option for players who prefer a Kei-Car that can run well in high speed circuits and possibly would try to run in a Drag Racing Lobby (with proper tuning).
Like all Kei Cars, they may be slow compared to the bigger, more potent cars. But, it's incredible agility makes them a blast to drive on tight mountain roads, street circuits, and any small race tracks. If you tune them right, you'll even make them competitive against bigger cars such as most 1-liter and some 2-Liter engined cars.
