With the first beats rolling off the showroom floor in 1991, 2016 marks the first year these pocket rockets will be eligible for us consumption. Here’s eight reasons why you should pledge to adopt one.

1. It’s the Last Car Mr. Honda approved

Yes honda used to make cars that aren’t turbo civics with cvt’s or wannabe pickup trucks or mobile vacuum cleaners. Mr. Soichiro Honda worked until the end of his days at age 84. He was key in getting the kei to Japan’s market and in doing so left us with one of the cutest cars they ever produced.

2. It’s almost a Ferrari

O you drive a mid engined rwd NA roadster designed by pininfarina? Me too!

3. Jeremy Clarkson loves it

4. It Made 100 NA hp/L Before it Was Cool

you think your s2k, e46 m3 and gt350R are hot shit? Think again pal. Honda hit that figure way before all those guys and even matched it’s competitors, the autozam az-1 and suzuki capucino performance using a 3 banger as well but without a turbo.

5. It Will Keep Up With a Miata at Autocross

6. It is a Future Classic

Do you know what the first car Honda made was? It was a tiny kei car RWD two seat sports car with a 500cc engine. Do you know what Hondas next great car is? NSX? LOL try again. Much as the new NSX is being flamed for being nothing like the original, Hondas new S660 is EXACTLY like the beat. manual transmission, RWD, NA, mid engine I3, tiny etc. Honda knew better than to mess with success and since it’s stayed true to form the beat will be loved for it’s key part in Hondas rich sports car history.

7. CBR swap?

CBR swap.

8. They are crazy cheap!

Import BS aside, there are tons of beats in japan and Most are sub 60k miles and for sale at 1500-5000 USD. The beat was only made for 3 years but 66% of production was during 1991 so those cars are easiest to find and cheapest along with being eligible to import. Take a look for yourself:
