My S is a little different than most. Having 320 hp really extends the enjoyment of the S. While there's still a lack of low end torque, there are few cars out there that can compete with the fun of an S2000 over 4,000 RPM. It can't be compared to other sports cars. It must be viewed in terms of a livable go kart. It's that responsive. The shifter is a particular joy. Few manuals can be maneuvered with the flick of your wrist like the S can.

Treat yourself...

I bought this car used in the Fall of 2005 with 31,000 miles. I was driving a Acura GS-R at the time, and I always loved the performance and reliability that Honda had to offer. The next natural step was the S2000. I thought why not treat myself? Young, single, and when would I be able to buy a car like this again? I test drove it, and made the plunge. I was sold! I love the driving experience, and I always get compliments from people who have never seen the car. They can't believe it's a Honda! It is an affordable exotic, without the "exotic" car headaches and maintenance nightmares.

This car is the best car I've ever owned. I drove it as a daily driver, to and from work. Sun, snow, rain I drove it. I drove it on the track. 17 times, 1,700 miles. I drove up highway 550 on vacation with the spouse. Regularly drove 12 hours to see mom in a nursing home in Omaha. Top up, top down, It didn't matter, I drove it. Some say the cockpit is cramped. I call it a nice fit. I don't bounce all over the place. The radio isn't the best, but who wants to listen to that, when you can listen to a 9,000 rpm screaming engine? The perfect car for its purpose. Update 9/19: I gave the car to my daughter. She visited us in Kentucky. The car ran well & got her here & back, so, it's still going strong at 275,000. Daughter still driving it. Sold.

Summer fun

This car makes a mundane drive to the QuickShop a hoot! I've driven 3K mi since buying it used last Fall. Couldn't wait to get it out of the garage this Spring. Every feature of driving with the top down is a pleasure. Accelerating on entrance ramps in 2nd gear to near redline will get your heart pounding. It's like riding in a very well built roller coaster, except you're in total control People still express compliments, envy,"wanna race", and cool depending on age.

You won't regret buying this car. It has Honda resale value and Honda quality. I haven't had a bit of trouble with the car in 2 years. It's more fun to drive than you can imagine and hugs the road beautifully. There's nothing like shifting into 6th and sailing past everyone...especially when they think they're actually going to overtake you! Great for rides in the hills and on curves. Amazingly low road noise and I never get tired of having the top down. Buy one today!
