Vehicle Overview

The Honda Beat is a two-seater roadster with a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. It was the final model approved by company founder Soichiro Honda before his death in 1992, and some enthusiasts praise it as one of the brand's purest examples of driving enjoyment. The design of the car originated from Pininfarina, who then sold the design plan to Honda. It's mid-engine design and weight distribution gives it great handling capabilities..
This car was legally imported into the USA from Japan in March 2024 by my son and I. It now has a clean Massachusetts Title and can be registered in most every state (FYI-we'll also include original import paperwork). This car is one of the best examples of a Honda Beat you can find anywhere in the US! The Beat has a mid-mounted engine, and a head-turning design. If you want a truly fun car to drive- with the top down or up- this car is it! One of the most fun things about this car is that you can put the convertible top down (or up) in 30 seconds or less! It's that easy. The car is in superb condition mechanically, has a brand new top, and has all regular maintenance done as well as lots of preventive maintenance--so you can get to driving without any worries! This car looks so attractive and unique you will defintiely get attention everywhere you go! And this beauty has so much life left! -with just 40,300 miles (65,010 km) on it! Its mileage and clean accident history is Verified by the Japanese equivalent of CARFAX, the CARVX Report (see photos.) The interior is very unique as well and comes with the super cool OEM Beat Zebra seats as well as Zebra floor mats which are also in great condition. And also important to note that this Beat has no rust issues at all! It handles like a sports car and is an absolute blast to drive, and the 5-speed manual transmission is fun to work with. And gas mileage averages ~40 mpg

Mechanical

This car is in superb mechanical condition. Everything works! It even has cold A/C (when the top is up!) It starts as soon as you turn the key and the engine runs super smoothly. It has a 656cc 3-cylinder engine. Honda included the MTREC (Multi Throttle Responsive Engine Control) system, with individual throttle bodies for each of the three cylinders, to produce 64 PS (63 bhp) at 8,100 rpm with a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph). It cruises easily on the highway at 65 mph. The 4 wheel disc brakes are in excellent condition. It has all preventive and regular maintenance just done. Recent Maintenance & New Parts Include: Timing Belt + Tensioner + Idler Pulley, Waterpump, New Robbins Convertible Top w/ glass window and new windshield/top seals, new Serpentine Belt, Cam/Crank Seals, Air Filter, Distributor Cap + Rotor, tune up w/ new spark plugs, 5w30 Oil Change + Filter, New Wiper Blades, AC System converted to R134. So, you can get to driving without any worries! Compression Test Results: All Within Specs: 180-190psi

Exterior

It has a brand new top, Not only was a new top installed(with a glass- not plastic- window), but also with all brand new extensive rubber moldings that the top seals with around the windshield and rear window. And this car has no rust issues at all. The under carriage looks great (see photos), with only a few traces of just very light surface rust. The paint is in very good condition. It has a few imperfections, which are shown in the photos. Wheels: White alloy Honda wheels Tires: Bridgestone Playz-PX-C 155/65 R13s in the front, and 165/60 R14s in the rear. Tires are recent, in excellent condition, with well over half their tread life remaining.

Interior

The interior is in excellent condition and very unique as well. It comes with the super cool OEM Beat Zebra seats as well as Zebra floor mats which are also in great condition. The only imperfection is a small tear in fabric on the very outside lower corner of the driver's seat back. Interior Amenities: Brand new MGR450 BOSS Audio Bluetooth Mini Stereo Head unit, BL GTX630 3-way speakers, Red wolf wiring harness adapter, 3D printed radio adapter.

The top is manual. It's incredibly easy to put it down. One person can do it without leaving the car in less than a minute. Open two clips, grab the top, and gently pull it back. It just falls back into the boot. Putting it up is just as easy. There is no boot cover. I do have a car cover I use for it. It's not a custom fit cover for it.

Is the top power or manual? Is there a boot cover? Is there a car cover?
