1994 Honda Beat Version Z 37000km / 23000mi Rare Mugen Hard Top! Outstanding cosmetic and mechanical condition overall for the age. Starts, runs and drives perfectly. New tires, battery, clutch master / slave cylinders. AC, heat, factory stereo and CD changer all work. Known flaws: Deep scratches on hood from previous owner. Hard top paint has bubbles and a small cracked edge but looks great from a few feet away. Soft top window is discolored but no rips. I feel this is priced to ...
Our Take:
- Kei Car Coolness: The 1994 Honda Beat is a quintessential example of Japan's kei car segment—those quirky, compact vehicles designed to fit neatly into Japan's crowded urban spaces. Not only does it have that delightful mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive setup, but its spirited 656cc three-cylinder engine, despite its small size, delivers a driving experience that's anything but tiny. It's like having a go-kart for the streets, but with a touch more style and flair.
- Version Z Variant: This particular model is a Beat Version Z, one of the later iterations before Honda ceased production in 1996. The "Z" was the grand finale, if you will, featuring some subtle styling tweaks and trim enhancements that set it apart from the standard Beat. It’s a bit like finding a limited-edition comic book—special and potentially more desirable for collectors.
- Mugen Hard Top: The inclusion of a rare Mugen hard top is quite the catch. Mugen, Honda's in-house tuning arm, is synonymous with enhancing performance and aesthetic appeal. Even if the hard top has some minor imperfections, it adds both rarity and a distinctive look. To call it the "cherry on top" would almost be an understatement, given the additional driving experience it brings.
- Mileage and Condition: At just 23,000 miles, this Beat has likely seen more garage time than road. Considering its age, the low mileage is a dealer's ace in the hole—especially since it comes with new key mechanical components like tires and clutch cylinders. It’s akin to finding a classic vinyl record in mint condition, complete with only minor sleeve wear.
