Are there any downsides of a Japan version - thinking of things like insurance; when they ask if a car is a Jap import or not.
Sorry about that! 🤣 if it makes you feel any better I want one too now!

The only downsides I’m aware of is that the sat nav is the Japanese version but can be changed over easily enough, and the square reg plate on the rear.
