I'd like to ask you the experts about the pro's and cons of owning a Beat and what you think about importing one?
Hmmmm lets see!

Pros - Huge fun to drive, a real head turner, you are driving something different, superb handling, spirited performance, smug roof off feeling in summer?

Cons - Interior space is limmited, but not un-usable. Some parts can be a bit expensive (but no worse than most jap cars, you just can't get them from a motor factors in general) er..........

Prices can start as low as 1500 quid, but you tend to get what you pay for. £3000-£4000 seems to be the price of a nice one.

I cant see it being much cheaper to import one to be honest, but read Oz samuri's guide to importing at http://www.angelfire.com/ms3/ozsamurai/UKimport.htm

Hope this helps!
