Highly likely to return based on appearances in Forza Horizon 4 and 5; not yet officially announced for FH6 at the time of writing.
About the 1996 Daihatsu Midget II in Forza Horizon
Forza Horizon traditionally tucks one or two oddballs into each lineup — vehicles whose presence is more cultural than competitive. 1996 Daihatsu Midget II fits that tradition. The chassis won't top a leaderboard, but Horizon's photo-mode and livery-design crowd embraces it.
The 1990s were a creative high point for Daihatsu performance machinery — tighter regulations had not yet limited engine breathing, and tuner-shop culture was at its peak. Horizon's roster leans heavily into this decade.
In-Game Classification
1996 Daihatsu Midget II sits in the Vans / Retro bracket of the Forza Horizon car list. At stock tune, expect this chassis to live in the D-class bracket, where chassis balance and braking discipline beat horsepower.
The FWD drivetrain shapes how Midget II responds to power and tire upgrades — every Forza Horizon entry rewards drivers who understand what their drivetrain layout means for weight transfer in corners.

Where Daihatsu Sits in Forza Horizon 6
Daihatsu contributes a substantial slice of the Forza Horizon 6 vehicle catalog. The Midget II fits into that broader Daihatsu lineage — every entry on the wiki cross-references its in-game class, drivetrain, and country of origin to help players plan their Festival Playlist garage. For a Japan-built Vans / Retro machine in the D class, this is one of the more interesting picks in the full 896-vehicle catalog.
