Sure the Cappo is cool, but the Beat brings JOY to everyone who sees it. I had one in pink that turned heads left right and center. With the top dropped, you never stop getting people smiling, waving, taking pictures and asking you what the heck it is. Absolute legend, you will not be disappointed with it.
Go for the Beat! The Cap is nice but those roof panels will get annoying pretty quickly. Side note, have you considered doing any of the JDM shops in Connecticut?
I'm liking the Hijet Climber or the keitora firetruck. I'm not a convertible guy and definitely not a rag top guy. When I want to be in the wind, I ride my motorcycle. Those sporty little convertibles did look like a lot of fun, though.
I live in NYC and out of my 7 kei cars I’ve owned none of them have been in my city I go to where the deals are and get it shipped to me or drive it home
I'm in central Kentucky and JDM vehicles are very rare here. You're even farther from a port in Missouri. I don't think Nick's recommendation to just go where the deals are and drive it or ship it home is fully appreciating your situation. I drove 21 hours round trip to trailer my Hijet home from Newport News. For me, it was worth it, but it was not a simple or easy thing.
Great video I'm 6 3 185lbs which car Beat or Cappu would I fit in? And isn't the Cappu faster than the beat cause of turbo? Or just get a 2zz swapped MR2??
@@Waybeforethefame thanks for replying many Beats for sale in Orlando area and I saw a young guy in one at a Lowes parking lot talked to him he was bigger than me weight wise and fit I'll just have to go check out a Beat for fit and yes an MR2 is surprisingly roomier than my 08 MX5 MIATA
Wow, thats a hard decision. The cappuccino is zippy and has a removable hard top that will give you more security in the city. The interior is beautiful and probably the best of all 3 vehicles. The major downside is it is difficult to get into. I think you will probably get annoyed by this pretty fast. The beat is much easier to get into. Its rag top is less fiddly than the cappuccino's top and probably less prone to leaks. I think the Beat beats the Cappuccino just for comfort and top simplicity. If you turbo the Beat it will be just as zippy as the Cappuccino. Then there's the Vivio. Its got way more room than the other 2 and actual trunk space. Its rarer than the other 2, so more collectable. I know your thinking rag top for summer, but do you really NEED it? Is a rag top worth sacrificing trunk & interior space, and dealing with that inconvenience when you want to take merch with you to an event? Plus the hatchback would be more secure in the city. Personally, I'm in love with the Vivio, so if you do get it, and plan to raffle it, I am going to try to win it.
Cappuccino and Altos have a decently sized modding community in Japan compared to the honda beat so imo I'd go with that also the fact that it has a hardtop is really nice esp if you're swapping out the life for it Personally I'd take the vivio or an manual alto but that's just me
I like the vivio they have more than the beat and capp they have but I currently have a Honda Life and idk if i want my next kei to just be a bigger version of the same car when i could get a RWD drop top
@@nathank-jw7uv Life will be gone soon with the motocompo i wanna build my next kei and the life is cool but auto and not a fun drive compared to these other kei cars
I’m a Honda guy so normally I’d say beat but I love the cappuccinos. If it’s gonna be a project and you don’t want to spend 15 to 20k get the cappuccino. From my understanding their cheaper from the get go.
both cars around around $7,500 each so if i put another 2.5k id be okay with it seeing how i will do most the work myself. I think what it comes down to is which will be a better everyday car since itll be my daily the beat is alot more comfortable but slower and only a softtop compared to the cap which is basically a hardtop/roadster in minutes

i would wrap mine a loud color like pink or something like that lol
The Vivio, hands down, makes the most sense. The Beat comes in second.
Vivid is sweet
Go for the Beat! The Cap is nice but those roof panels will get annoying pretty quickly.
Side note, have you considered doing any of the JDM shops in Connecticut?
ive been to jdm ct once but besides that ive never really worked with any of them out there
Enough with the hatchbacks! For comfort, the Beat; but as a project, I'd go with the Cappuccino.
Thats what im saying but the vivio is cool looking
Beat please :) mine should arrive in a few days and i would love to see someone make content on it
That’s the plan, I gotta find a nice one
I say go for the Beat. I don’t really like Honda but that’s a sweet little car
The beat is very nice
Beat
🙏
The cappuccino is alright, but the beat is a classic. Gotta keep the Honda fam growing
Cappuccino is turbo tho and maybe the fastest kei out there
@@Waybeforethefame it’s not that much faster than the beat. And it’s still pretty slow either way haha
@@Waybeforethefame when do you think you’d get one?

I hope i can get a hijet climber or deckvan very soon
Get both😎
CAP CAP CAP CAP CAP CAP 🙌
I’m leaning towards it but 🤷♂️
Beat all day
True
I’m ready for a kei vehicle, but Missouri sucks in terms of access but have yet to see one in person.

@@Liberty4Ever Yeah ive never imported a car from japan i like to get them stateside so as long its on the 48 states im good lol
Go for the Cappy.
I think your right

Between those 2 I would say a beat is better but both are pretty small, I never sat in Mr2

Cappuccino!!!
👀🙏👀
Whichever one has the least amount of rust.
i would say the beat but i want the capp even with the rust lol
Get the Cap!!!
🙏🙏
Idk what to do. I have a chance to buy the same. A beat or cappuccino????
Honda Beat! You've driven mine (Ron's) so you know I gotta say Beat haha
LOL that was the first and best beat ive driven till this day
Get that cappy so no one cuts your soft top.
In my 10 years on miata ownership nobody’s ever done that we gotta stay positive loo
Vivio is such a great choice. If you’re really hardcore you’ll just cut the top off that one 😂
😂
I think I would trust the Honda more with my life at speed.
The cappuccino is a hardtop tho
Bruh when you are ready for a Supercharged truck..I got you Homey
Its going to happen sooner than later
Cap!
👍
gotta get the cappuccino, fun car and yould be the talk of any meet, jdm/kei or otherwise. Plus, the honda is a soft top convertible which is very ehh
Couldn't agree more and the beat wont give me a cool turbo noises lol
As an ex-Cappuccino owner. I have to say go for the Cappuccino. So many modding options. Plus the security of a hard top.
Yeah that’s exactly how I feel, turbo+ hardtop= better
Cappuccino...
Indubitably, let's see what you can do with it. 👨🏻🔧
LETS SEEE, last turbo suzuki i had i think came out great
