driving is believing
For the ones which criticise one of the ultimate convertible roadsters of all time because its too load or not enough room.This is definetly not the car for you!This is a machine built for the consumer that understands that this 2 litre motor 4cyl.produces more hp per litre hp than any other car built!My previous car was an 1995 m3 I would have never thought of owning a honda s2000 which i had criticed before now I regret because once I drove I was hooked aswell.This is the funnest most exhilerating car under $35K that I have ever driven even compared to the massive 3.5 litre 350z I chose the s2000 for a second car to have could not be more satisfied.
honda s2000 the best

Fun-Factor
This car is an absolute pleasure to drive everyday. The handling is razor- sharp and predictable. The engine is great, not a lot of torque but the gearing is great so its not as noticeable. I personally think it is a very comfortable ride. I've driven tuned s13's and supra's and this car is every bit as fun. If you're looking for balance this is the car to own. Almost perfect from the factory, and the car is absolutely beautiful.
best money i ever spent for a car
i get a smile every time i get into this car, after that my smile gets bigger! i've owned an MG years ago and this is way better. This car will scare most people before it gives and when it does it does gently. I drive it like a madman and my wife can drive it and be cool, its a wonderful machine!!
Not your father's Honda!
Just starting to go through a mid-life crisis, I felt I needed something to help me with the problem. The S-2000 was it. Good , clean and sexy lines, a nice tight interior. The handling is wonderful. Acceleration is powerful. Even after 3 years of production I still get the looks and stares when I drive by. The car has never seen rain. Is garage kept and stored in the winter. Mileage is low as the time I have to drive it is short. But when the weather and traffic are right...nothing comes close to the thrill. And yes Margaret, it's a HONDA!
s2k dominance
Overall the s2000 is the most fun convertible under $100,000 to own. This car has everything that the the others have, but for under $35,000, which is why I am the proud owner of one. The s2000 has great performance, a tastefully styled interior which fits the car, and a bold exterior and distinct exterior which makes people on the street say, " what kind of car is that!!!"
The S2000 is THE Convertible
Car and Driver, Road and Track, neither is wrong. The S is the roadster like no other. The 9000 RPM redline is amazing!
Great Bang For The Buck
Get over it HondaMan. So you hit something and blew the tire, that's not the car's fault!!! This car has amazing performance for the price, blew the doors off of my friends Boxster that comes with a sticker that's $10k higher!!
I love it!!
If I couldn't have gotten this one. I would have chosen a BMW convertible. My car is wonderful fun! It's white with tan leather. It HUGS the road in all kinds of rain storms. My other car is a Dodge Dakota SLT Quad Cab. It's fabulous too!!
S2000 makes the heart throb
For the comparatively small amount of money, this rocket brings a lot of excitement. It is an extremely fast car for a 4 cylinder: the 9000 RPM redline is atrocious. Ive hit it a few times and its quite an experience. Its a very light car so the acceleration gets the heart pumping fast. It is kind of like strapping a rocket between your legs. You get the sound, acceleration, and feel of doing so. On dry days, it grips the road like glue. Shifting and steering are superb. Its a loud car, so if your looking for peace and quite, buy a Buick.
best sports car aroud
The s2000 is the best sports car under 40 grand. This honda smokes the z3, audi tt, z4, miata, porsche boxster (over $50,000 and a $33,000 car smokes it)all in all honda out worked themselves with this 240hp, 0-60 in aprox. 5.2 seconds almost reaching the 911 porsche.
perfect
I am more in love with this car every time I drive it .The way it performs in all repects in unbelievable.
S2000 LEASEE
GREAT LINES, EXCELLENT HANDLER, LOVE THE KICK OVER 6000 RPM'S. EYE CATCHER. LOOK FORWARD TO THE FIRST WARM DAY WHEN THE SPEEDY TOP CAN COME DOWN. HAVING A BLAST.
Honda's fun machine
Pure sports car. Boxsters, Z4's, Miatas and TT's are mere pretenders to the title compared to the Honda S2000 exquisite driving experience. Before you spend stratospheric amounts for a convertible,(yes, even all the way up to Ferrarris) you really need to drive this machine first. If you own a Ferrarri, you also need to have one of these in your collection.
wow
I believe this is the most amazing car I have ever owned. For the size and price range of this car you can't beat it. It handled as good as any sports car I have ever driven and what a blast to drive. I can't say enough about this car anyone looking for a small convertible should look no further you would be disappointed. Jeff Cavin
Excellent Car!!
I have had my car for about a month now and the car is excellent. I have no complaints. The car still turns heads when you drive it down the road, and it performs incredibly!!
S2000 Love!
I thought this car would be like my Miata, but with more horsepower, but almost everything is better except maybe trunk space and the Miata's classic analog dash - But, the S2000 has better SO-2 tires, silky smooth 6 spd trans, ultra quick elect pwr steering, ABS brakes, seats with better support & nicer leather, power top, better fabric, quicker more precise handling, HID, smoother engine low end and WOW! incredible top end to 8900 RPM - Did I mention the engine!
what a car
Let me tell you i have had alot of sports cars in my day hell i used to have a miata collectors edition that thing was alright not much power but nice looking but after i got this s2000 it just rocks my world for it's price. It also take corners very well nothing i could normally do with any other vehicle with that price.
SIMPLY THE BEST!
I have never been more satisfied with a vehicle than I have been with my s2000. Nothing compares.
more than satisfied
While this car is essentially a one trick pony, I really like this car. Glad I kept my '90 CRX Si (I love this car) it a workhorse.
It just don't get any better!
I've owned many "fun" cars, the last was a 6-speed Vette, but by far the S2K is best. I constantly come up with reasons to drive it. I love the 6K VTEC transformation to race car. Can't wait for the summer when I can put the top down, it's gonna be SOOO sweet. I recommend this car very much. I'm 6'0 195lbs, I fit perfect in the car!
Most Bang For The Buck
There is not a car made that equals this one for the money. It will blow away an Audi TT and Porsche Boxster.
good cat
good car go fast
The Swetest thing
This car is awsome
The BEST
Looked at the Corvette, Boxter, 350z This is the complete package! And the right price
Sweet Ride!!
I've had my '02 S2K for about a month now and I can't say enough good things about it! I love the 240hp/4 cyl combo. It did take me a couple days to learn how to drive it the way it was intended. It took some getting used to due to the "rev" factor. Although the radio has often been called "weak", I find it sufficient with the top up or down...or you could turn it off and just humm to the exhaust note! This car is not for everyone as the ride is very stiff and the interior is not as plush as say the Audi TT's. However, for those looking for something different and edgy or if you want to feel like a Formula One driver, this is the car for you!
SILVER TOY
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY S2OOO. FOR A HONDA IT IS A FAST, FUN, SPORTY VEHICLE. I RACED PORSHE BOXTERS AND KICKED BUTT!!!!.....love it totally!!!
impulse buy
After owning this car for a month I have to say.....I wish I would have waited. All the power is @ the high RPM bands which is great for highways and wide open roads but for day to day use in real world situations it leaves a lot to be desired. Another thing worth mentioning is that I had to have my wife take a cab when we got a flat tire because the damaged tire had to ride shotgun.
Love This Car !
My S2000 is simply an eye stopper in looks and performance. I frequently drive Hwy 1, from Monterey, CA to Big Sur with lots of curves that are high above the ocean and dangerous cliffs. The 50/50 weight distribution and handling qualities are exceptional. A man walked up to me stating, "Man...that car looks fast just sitting there. What is it?" I just smiled and said, "Its a Honda" It's tough on tires depending on how you drive. I only got 15,500 miles out of my first stock Bridgestones... I'm now trying Michelins Pilots. Watch out! Let the tires get nearly smooth on the back and you will water plane, out of control, in the rain. Drive safe.
Quite the head-turner
As being a convertible doesn't attract enough attention, the S2000 is quite the head-turner. Because of Honda's limited production of the model, there are few on the road and people are always doing double-takes. It's an all- around great car - fast, fun, beautiful, reliable. Being such a hot- looking, two-seater makes it almost an impractical luxury but, hey, it's Honda - so "impractical" is just not possible!
the best little sportie
i have dealt with honda automobiles for over 12 years and have total faith in their contant drive for excellance. they take chances, find problems and handle them. no problem! the "s2000" is the best car to drive for performance, fun, comfort for a great little get away, fun, great fuel economy, and dont't forget-fun!
awesome
most fun driving a car i have ever had and that includes driving RX7's, MGB, Spitifires and Corvettes
It's A Wonderful Toy!
This is my third summer as an S2000 owner and the excitement hasn't diminished one bit! It drives and performs like new with the exception of the rear tires. Those had to be replaced at 13,500 miles. The tread was completely gone and I'm not an abusive driver.
Road Rocket
Bought this car in Chicago and drove it home to Texas. The tight suspension flattens out on the road. The handling is excellent and when you hit the power zone 5500 and up, it feels like a turbo is kicking in. For the price this is undoubtedly the best sports car for the money. On the way home had the pleasure to hook up with a Porsche Boxter. We played with each other for a while and then went to it. This little Road Rocket walked away from the Boxter. We backed off well over 100 (130 speedometer) with plenty off pedal left. Sometimes I need to remind myself it's a Honda!
THERES NOTHING LIKE A HONDA!
IM A HONDA LOVER....I HAD A 1998 HONDA CIVIC LX WHICH WAS A GREAT CAR....NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT....I TRADED IT IN FOR THE SEXY HONDA S2000. LOVE THIS CAR...ITS TROUBLE FREE LIKE THE CIVIC, DRIVES AND HANDLES GREAT....LOVE IT, LOVE IT ,LOVE IT!!!
Super toy daily driver
My s2000 is the finest sporty car I have owned. Fit & finish is what is expected from a honda product. The price is very competative for the product. Anyone looking for the fun head turner car, the s2000 is it.
wow
my father bought one of theese and they are unbeliveable wow i love honda s 2000 its the greatest car in the world
kick some german axx
this is an amazing street legal race car. plunge the gas padle and drop your clutch, the roar from the exhaust will make you believe you are in a rocket, a topless one. steering is perfect, handling is precise, braking is stable and powerful to say the least. this is one car that has all the major components perfectly orchestrated each time you sit behind the wheel. there is simply no better sports car one can buy for $35K.
The Long Way Home......
Since purchasing my 2000 Honda S2000 more than two months ago, I find myself often driving the long way home from work. Everything about the S2000 just feels right. From the exotic exterior to the fit like your favorite jeans interior, the Honda S2000 is an amazing car. I traded my 2002 RSX Type-S in for a Honda Certified 2000 S2000 with 12 thousand miles over two months ago. Being that the car is my daily driver, I was concerned that the while the car would be fun to drive, it would deliever a rough overall ride. So far the car only feels slightly stiffer than my last two Honda's (GS-R and a RSX-S)and is very easy to drive around town in.
the best car, bar none
the build quality along with hondas reputation for building reliable, great- looking and environmentally friendly vehicles, makes the s2000 the most fun and satisfying vehicle i've ever owned.
Wow
TOO MUCH FUN for a Japanese Car
Aw-some
Best sports car buy in the total market.
Awesome car
This car catches people's attention. Once you get past the break-in period and are able to take the car through the entire RPM band, the car is so much fun to drive. The sound from the exhaust is better appreciated with the top down and the car handles incredibly
It's everything they say it is!!!
Absolutely the funnest car ever built. Takes me back to the days of my MGBs, only with the comforts, conveniences and reliability of a Honda. Quite a few people don't even know what it is! But they are all impressed with its looks and styling. Don't use for everyday commuting and grocery store runs...this is strictly a fun, take-to- the-mountains, "getaway" car. It's everything the reviews say it is. The engine SCREAMS!! It is so fun it's almost scary. You want to go faster and faster thru the corners, and it just STICKS to the road. Keeps the adrenaline going for sure. Best car purchase I've ever made.
Best Package
For under $35k you will not find a better performance car for the money. I challenge anyone to find a car that will do sub 5.5 sec 0-60 for this price. There are many cars out there that will do this for $70k or $125k, but not $33k. Some complain about the torque on the car, but honestly, if the car does 0-60 in 5.5sec, there is enough torque there, whether the number is high or not is not the issue. Some people do not get it, you can have a car with extreme torque that takes 7 seconds to get to 60mph.
brakes
it runs on fumes very well which is why i say it is reliabale.
Honda S2000
This is the most exciting and fun to drive car on the market. The transmission is flawless and exact. The body is solid and remains flat in the corners. The build quality is top. The car's ergonomics superior to any other. This car is right off the race track. If you are a driving enthusiast, you will love the Honda S2000.
s2000 review
the best performance car value on the road today, bar none
A "TEN"
Faster than any car on the list for 32K, plus Honda quality. Have to spend over a 100K on a Porsche 911 Turbo to get this performance. Remember, this is only a 2-liter engine.
