1992 Honda Beat Convertible- 40K miles Brand New Top- Excellent condition-

Vehicle Description

This car is so much fun it should be illegal! Do you want a car that you can get in and drive without having to think of fixing anything? This is a super-reliable Honda, and we have done all possible preventative maintenance (even including a new timing belt). It's in superb condition with absolutely no mechanical issues. It runs like a charm and handles incredibly well. The steering is so precise it will amaze you. Turn the key and it always starts up immediately- even in cold weather. This Honda Beat is a two-seater convertible roadster with a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The Beat has truly been a hidden gem to US driving enthusiasts, as it was never sold in the U.S. market. 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(Ferrari designers), who then sold the design plan to Honda. It's mid-engine design and weight distribution gives it great handling capabilities. You’ll be surprised that its handling can rival many much more expensive sports cars. It truly is a blast to drive it. And this car is one of the best examples of a Honda Beat you can find anywhere in the US!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). 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 about a minute! 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!

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 true sports car and is an absolute blast to drive, and the 5-speed manual transmission shifts easily and is fun to work with. And gas mileage averages ~40 mpg.Everything works in this car! It even has cold A/C! 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).
