Well that didn't last long. Honda Beat is a japan market kei car. Little 660cc thing. Check out MCM's videos for a better look.

Yeah I would love to get a beat, sadly the aftermarket support even in Japan is very low. Also from what I hear, and what I’ve experienced on some racing simulators, is that the short wheelbase, narrow tires, and mid engine make this for one hell of a Squirrley ride

Not even sure if I would fit in it - but I like it.

There's also the Suzuki equivalent:

Just bought a cappuccino yesterday.  They also had a beat there.

 

The beat is a bit frumpy looking and new tops and windows are TOUGH to get according to them.  Cappuccinos have WAY more power/torque thanks to the turbo.  Mine easily did 80 on the highway. 

 

That said, I highly recommend either.  Ripping around town in a sport Kei car puts a huge smile on my face.
