    I’ve been obsessed with this car for 15 years. I’ve never bought one because they were only sold in Japan, which makes them incredibly rare, and usually quite expensive. So when a crash damaged one came up for sale; I thought it might be my chance to buy my dream car for cheap.

    I have on of these in the states and I have some tips for you. 1 I am 6' 2'' so you have a few inches on me and a quick release hub for the steering wheel was life changing for me. So much eassier to get in and out. 2 There are 2 center jack points at the front and rear of the car so you can jack up both fronts or both rears. 3 see if you can get the spare tire bracket for under the hood because it acts as a duct for your radiator. Good purchase and I'm glad more people are learning about these over the past few years. Also excited to see what tires you get because I can't even get 14s here.

    I've always loved the Honda Beat, its much easier to have fun in a small car with enough power than it is to have fun in a big car that has too much. When that small car is a purpose built sports car with almost no mass the fun level just increases, its a big part of why cars like the original mini, the MX-5 or Lotus Elise were so successful. With the Beat a normal country road becomes a race track where you can take the correct line through each corner and feel like you are doing 100mph all while staying in the correct lane and being under the speed limit. It may not be fast but it sure is fun 😄I can very much relate to the enthusiasm in this video.
