This car is for the driving enthusiast, one who appreciates sports car engineering, with an engine that can red line at 9000 rpm's you will have nothing but fun out running everything on the road except some of the elite.

Unbelievable! For performance, I have yet to see any car with a natural aspirated four cylinder (or six) come close. OK, the 350Z isn't far behind, but I drove both vehicles with a bias FOR Nissan before deciding on the USED Honda. Sorry Datsun enthusiasts, but the Honda has the heart of high performance two- seaters, much like the 240 had in the 70's. I have put 40,000 miles on this car and still get a thrill every time I push the start button. Life is definitely better at 9000 RPM.

It's good to DRIVE again

After owning a BMW some years ago, the itch hit for a fun to drive car. This is my first convertible. This car is an absolute blast to drive for an enthusiast. Not certian it would be for a non-enthusiast. It's quick, light on its feet, and surprisingly economical. I had wanted a 911 for many years, but this is more practical, cheaper, and truly just as fun. Reliability seems to be better too. And servicing will be cheaper.

Just bought this rocket this weekend and have spent 2 days enjoying every corner and soaking up the rays with the top down. Sticks to the road like glue. I love looking at this thing. Never owned a roadster before. Didn't know what I was missing. Great build quality.

S2000 3 year review

Driving this car is like attaching it directly to your brain and giving it commands. The S2000 goes where you want when you want it to. It is a superior driving machine. Whether you are a good old boy that loves american muscle, or an import umm "artist", a ride in this car will induce an ear-to- ear grin on your face. I have used it as a weekend/fair weather car and have had very few problems. I had the 3 TSB's performed during the first year of ownership which took care of a few noises and nuisances. Since then it's been perfectly reliable through two autocross seasons and a recent track day. I recommend this car to anyone who likes to drive, and I don't mean in a straight line.

FUN TO DRIVE!!! The S2000 is the best handling car I have ever driven. It is very powerful for a 4 cylinder. Those looking for a smooth ride need to look for something else. The S2000 has a harsh ride, but it handles awesome. This car is great in tight corners, it is an Autocross king. PURE SPORTS CAR

We just purchased a used yellow S2000 in Houston. We are so happy with the car and it is so much fun to drive. It complements our G35 6MT sports car. There is nothing like a convertible and Honda quality is the best.

S2000

This is by far the best roadster on the market. In fact, it is probably the best vehicle sold in North America, period. And now that it has a glass rear window, the only real complaint has been remedied. To get a near equal car you would have to spend $20,000 more and you have to ask yourself if haveing a Porsche badge is worth $20k. I smile every time I look at the thing. Most dealers are chargeing sticker these days. Buy this car!

Want a sportster, or just a fun, sporty, and affordable car? S2000 is the car to get! Similar in style to the BMW Z3 and Audi TT roadster, but a fraction of cost. S2000 is FUN to drive, and it gets looks. There's not a ton out there, so people always say "cool car!" or "I didn't know Honda made a sporster!" It's true that low-end torque is lacking, pass the 4,500 RPM mark & hang on to your hat! Fun to drive, nice too look at, and definitely grabs attention. I recommend it to anyone I know.

This is my 2nd car, so complaints like, weak stero and lack of passenger/trunk space, don't really apply for me. I wanted a classic sports car(convertible, rear-wheel drive, great handling, light weight, great power-to-weight ratio and good looks) and I got it without paying stupid money. Great 2nd car!!!

The s2000 packs a punch. 240hp power this light weight roadster (go-kart) from 0-60 in 5.6 seconds. This car is for those who truly love driving. I have owned this car for close to a year and though it's price matches that of the BMW z3... The performance of the z3 does not even come close to the s2000's. Test drive it, that is if you can get your hands on one of these rare beauties.

Having owned MANY cars of all types, this one is still my favorite to drive. It's raw, you are connected to the road, and it's a blast. Incredibly reliable, 85K miles and only replaced the thermostat. I have a street-legal turbo kit making 300 wheel horsepower and have surprised many cars thinking they would walk by. I'll never sell . . . . ! !
