The Daihatsu Move and Subaru Stella are extremely similar kei cars because many modern Subaru Stella models are actually rebadged Daihatsu Move vehicles. Both have a 660cc engine and share much of the same engineering

Here’s how they compare:

Price
The Daihatsu Move is often slightly cheaper because it has stronger brand recognition as the original model.
The Subaru Stella may appeal to buyers who prefer the Subaru badge, but it usually doesn’t offer extra mechanical benefits.
Which should you choose?
If both cars are in similar condition:
Choose the Daihatsu Move if it’s cheaper or better equipped.
Choose the Subaru Stella if you find a cleaner example at a good price.
Since they are essentially the same car underneath, condition, mileage, service history, and trim level are far more important than the badge.
