An Affordable Affluent Roadster!

by evoluken
Mar 08 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good value, lovely engine that revs to 9k, very balanced machine
Cons: Basic stereo, plastic glass window in pre-2002
The Bottom Line: A true performance machine at an affordable price.

What a car! I love it!

Two of my friends own it and always have big grins on their face when they drive it. I won't talk as much about the engine specs or car's numbers in this review. I'm sure you can easily find them at any major automotive...

In need of the full blood sports car? If not stay away from it.

Jun 15 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: - handles like race car - reasonable price - marvelous engine - looks that last
Cons: - cheap plastic back window - poor radio
The Bottom Line: If you consider the S2000, do it for the right reasons: a good looking pure sportscar for a bargain price. If you looking for a comfortable convertible, look elsewhere.

I bought the Honda S2000 late last year. I basically fell in love with its looks first. But boy once you get in there for a test drive, no way i was even going to spend time test driving the BMW Z3 or the Porsche Boxster. It was a done deal the second...

Not for everyone, great for me

by scoach
Nov 22 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fast, fun, affordable (especially used)
Cons: Radio, torque is lacking.
The Bottom Line: This racing bred stunner is the real deal. Minor flaws, HUGE value, dead reliable.

Let's be clear. This is a 2-seat sports car. It is not a sporty car, it is not a shrunken sedan. It is not a GT car. It is a bonafide sports car, and very, very few exist on the market today, because few people are willing to put up with it. So ...

From a Woman's Point of View

by nsgoodbye
Dec 24 '01 - Updated Dec 25 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Sexy car, turns heads, good price
Cons: Blind spots, Back plastic window, Not built for a 5'4" person
The Bottom Line: One of a kind car that grabs everyone's attention.

I'm intentionally leaving out all the stuff about the engine and the horsepower because you can read about that anywhere you read about the car. Since, I'm a woman I'll talk about the characteristics that attracted me to the car. I bought this car about...

Mar 23 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Very Powerfull, Reliable, Amazing look, great brakes, and wonderful seating.
Cons: Plastic Back window, and cheap radio.
The Bottom Line: If you have a chance to buy this car, and you dont, you might think about getting your head checked.

I have driven many sports car's in my time on earth, but nothing has been more exciting and thrilling then my S2000, I used to drive a 96 Civic, at some point I decided that I wanted to enjoy what I drove, so I purchased the S2000. And since then I ...

A Great Sports Car with High Value

by dave2k
Nov 30 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great handling, rock solid, reliable, high value
Cons: Sound system, plastic rear window, power at high revs only
The Bottom Line: An excellent sports car that provides great value. This car is for driving fast and going around a lot of curves.

Although I wanted a convertible sports car for years, I bought my S2000 quite spontaneously because I found a deal I could not turn down. A friend of mine was selling his 3 year old S2000 so he could buy a newer one. That's a good sign, isn't it? So I ...

Hours of driving fun with the S2000

by Night
Nov 13 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Excellent handling, outstanding braking, 9000 rpm's, serious acceleration
Cons: Two seater
The Bottom Line: I recommend the S2000 for any person looking for excellent handling, acceleration, and excitement in their everyday driving experiences.

About six months ago, my lease on my 1999 Lexus GS 400 was up, and I wanted a car that was fun to drive, handled well, was quick off the line, and was able to turn heads from a distance. Not only did Honda's S2000 do this, but it did it with flying...

I miss my S2000!

by aviatrix_lady
Jan 09 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Unique, fast accelerating, sports car - a true joy to drive, especially TOPLESS!
Cons: Plastic rear window insert, plain CD radio, front spoiler very low ground clearance, can scrape
The Bottom Line: I bought mine, enjoyed it for 2 years, miss it badly. 4 years later, I may buy another!

I bought my yellow 2001 S2000 convertible new in summer of 2001. I've driven many other sports cars including Nissan 300ZX and Porsche, but after doing my homework, this car stood out as superior for the following reasons: 1. Limited production, I ...

My Best Sports Car, Ever

by irv6311
Sep 18 '02 - Updated May 02 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Styling, handling, power, reliability.
Cons: Graunchy transmission, clutch issues
The Bottom Line: If a pure, wind-in-the-face performance sports car is what is needed and you don't have the salary of CEO or major league sports star, this is the one.

I have owned several models of Porsches and a handful of Mustangs. The Honda S2000 is the best all-around performance car I have ever had. It combines the power, handling and style reflecting Honda's racing efforts along with the reliability and ...

2001 Observations/Quick tips

by ilovesedona
Apr 12 '02 - Updated Apr 29 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Engine, handling, mileage
Cons: Top cover, beverage holder, storage
The Bottom Line: If looking for a reliable race car - your journey has ended. Drive one for a while, you'll fall in love.

Fantastic automobile. Loves the road in either mode, cruising or racing. A lot of legroom for size. Low torque no problem around town, car is still quick
if kept in high 3K/low 4K rpm range. Can get around like a Civic, no problem, with 25 mpg+....

LOVE IT!

by s2000raj
Jun 13 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Stiffness, Speed, Convertible (power top), Xenon headlights.
Cons: Odd powerband, subpar radio, odd placement of the cupholder. Price gouging.
The Bottom Line: BUY IT. IT IS SO HOT. Draws everyone's attention.

I love my 2001 S2000, it is so fast. I really love the stiffness. I've never driven a car with such a tight suspension. I have gotten it to 145mph with the top down. The power roof is easy to work, and the 6 speed is nice. I have a car that cost me...

I like to drive fast!

by Josh486
Aug 17 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great acceleration, 9000 rpm's, digital everything. Manual transmission
Cons: A little small. Not a whole lot of trunk space. Manual Transmission
The Bottom Line: This car is just an amazing car, and at 32000$, fairly affordable.

This car is simply amazing. It looks good, handles good, accelerates very nicely and red lines at 9000 RPM's, thats the highest on the market. I live in california near mount diablo. I drove it to the top and this is a very windy road. I took it at...

Best sports car under 40K

by seanv
Aug 29 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: power, handling, styling
Cons: spartan interior, slightly cramped seating
The Bottom Line: If you want to be the center of attention on the road and still carry your golf clubs with you, the S2000 is your best bet!

This car very well could be the best handling car on the road today! It definitely feels like the car becomes part of you. The seats are tight but comfortable and it just makes you happy to sit in it. The sexy styling definitely turns heads. It is...

Street legal race car= Honda's S2000

by legendcpe
Jul 21 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Superb chassis, flawless gearbox, F1 engine, outstanding fit and finish, Honda's best effort yet.
Cons: plastic rear window, pathetic sound system, no glove box.
The Bottom Line: If you crave an "old school" sports car, if you even know what a Lotus Elise is, then an S2000 may be your E ticket. Pure unadulterated fun.

I'm about as anal an individual as you're apt to ever meet. I over analise every purchase I've ever made then fret over whether I made the right decision or not. This past January 2002 I purchased a new Honda S2000. I've been stalking this vehicle for 3...

An excellent driving machine

by klesch
Mar 11 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Powerful engine, great value
Cons: Plastic rear window, compact seating
The Bottom Line: If you want to feel like you're in the heat of the race, and be able to pass anyone on the highway with the engine roaring, this is your vehicle.

This vehicle is an outstanding performer on the roads with braking, turns, and accelleration if you're already moving. A little slow from the start since it's a 4-cylinder, but once the RPM's are up, you're moving. Great MPG, easy to use convertible...
