Pros: Innovative new car with a fast 4cyl engine. Pretty fast Cons: $, interior room, price, did I mention price? The Bottom Line: if you can't afford a Porsche, want something small, this may be for you. But there are faster better cars out there
I've always wanted a convertible, and since I really like fast cars, I decided to try out this one.
I'd heard the Honda S2000 has a top speed of around 150mph, which, I always think is a good thing. So it sounded like the ideal car that would...

Pros: Great engine, Handles on rails, 9k redline, blast to drive Cons: Price, insurance premiums, very limited cargo space The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a reliable, fun, and invigorating sports car; the S2000 is for you.
I recently purchased a 2000 Honda S2000 and this is hands down my favorite car I've ever owned. This is a true driver's car that may not have all of the bells and whistles of some of it's competitors, but the sheer joy and excitement of driving ...

Pros: Finely engineered, Fast, Fluorescent Cons: I can't afford it The Bottom Line: If you have the cash, this car might just change things for you.
Brrring, Brrrring. Hello? She bought a what? No kidding, I'll be over in a few minutes to check it out.
My wife's boss made the dive. A metallic silver 2000S with a charcoal leather interior sat in the administrator's parking spot. Word...

Pros: Fast, fun to drive, looks good Cons: Not for everybody, stock stereo system isn't so good The Bottom Line: It's not for everyone, but if it's for you, you'll know as soon as you start the engine.
Most people associate Hondas with family cars. Run-of-the-mill, practical, reliable sedans and coupes with no real performance to speak of. Sure, they're great cars, but even with better-than-average reliability, they're still nothing too special. A ...

Pros: Old world roadster in updated package Cons: Not an everyday driver The Bottom Line: Want a reliable sports car as a second vehicle, this one has to go on your short list.
Intro I disliked the S2000 when it came out! There, said it. Seriously, the looks didnt do it for me, the nose is too flat and the fact that dealers were pricing way over MSRP just made the car totally uninteresting for me. I mean I ...

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Last year, I read an article on the Honda S2000 in Motortrend Magazine. It looked very nice and had a very nice engine to go with it. I just thought it would be another concept vehicle that would never make...

Pros: How wonderfully Honda-like - and not - it is. Cons: Only enthusiasts need apply. The Bottom Line: Honda makes history.
In 1989, a small and unimpressive Japanese car company made history. Delivering the sweet looks and unmatched driving experiences of European roadsters but with the reliability, dependability, and economy that drove people to Japanese cars, the Mazda ...

Pros: Looks/Power Cons: Plastic Rear Window
I bought this car as a gift for my wife. The darn trouble is she almost never lets me drive it. In the two months we've had it, I've logged maybe 250 miles. Here's my impression from this brief test:
Once you get the tach above 6500 RPMs, this...

Pros: Refined, great feeling, solid handling car. Cons: No torque, its acceleration just didn't do it for me.
So I got to drive a friends s2000 the other day, interesting experience to say the least. It's defiantly a head-turning car, unique look that really does work (at least in my humble opinion).
The s2000 struck me as a very refined, well...

Pros: handling; looks Cons: exurbant price. no, its not 32k The Bottom Line: eh
Cute, elegant, fast. There are many ways to describe the S2000, all of which could be listed as a 'pro', all except for the price. Its not a cheap car, with a base invoice around 32k. However, looking at its performance, looks, and handling ...

Pros: Cute, elegant, and fast; 240 horsepower so just go for it Cons: May not allow tall dudes to get in easily. Shaquille O'neal may spit on such a little toy.
Do you know why a guy like Shaq O'Neal may despise and end up spitting on a Roadster? 'Cause he won't be able to fit all his long frame in one despite his millions? (Just an ice-breaker!)
I will tell you the truth about this S2000 (TT...

Pros: Driving, performance, comfort, hood, handling Cons: Space, driving, hood cover, rear visibility & no toys
Having looked at the options available for a new Roadster between £25K and £35K I was down to a choice of 3: the Audi TT, the S2000 and the Porsche Boxster. The Porsche with a few simple options was soon over the £35K price so was written off on price...

Pros: excellent handling, smooth engine, excellent seats, great looks, economic Cons: small trunk, road noise, (markup should be history now) The Bottom Line: I confess, I love this car! What else do I need to say.
I drive this car for 6 months now and it keeps amazing me with it's great handling and awesome looks (yellow is THE color). I am still getting lots of attention from bystanders, while it's amazing how many people ask if that's a Porsche. (not kidding)...

Pros: You'll look and feel like a million bucks while spending thousands Cons: Space is not in abundance The Bottom Line: I love this car. I enjoy having passenger limitations, and I love the attention I get while driving!
This car is the ultimate satisfaction for its price. Of course you can see it looks sharp, and you'll have no trouble starting conversations when you pull up.
Only 5000 made each year, this car is still fairly uncommon. Being different is worth...

Pros: beauty, handling, high profile Cons: sound system, no clock, no trunk, high profile
Did you know that most Honda sales personnel have yet to even drive one of these cars? Most people that buy them have not test driven them. This is to keep the miles low on the car, or so they say. 5,000 are supposed to be manufactured for the USA...
