Road Runner

by starboyzftp
Aug 05 '05 - Updated Dec 13 '07 

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

Pros: Oh that sweet voice! Gearbox is a paradigm of accuracy and feel. Intensity!
Cons: A bit gutless low down...a bit tight on the inside...a bit intense for some
The Bottom Line: A beautifully executed roadster from Honda, but it could've been better...

Self-control. Some cars test it quite more than others. Honda's S2000 just happens to be one of those cars. You can sense it from the minute you set eyes upon it. All hunkered down and sucked in. Lean and muscular. There's no doubt that it's a beautiful ...

Sharp & sporty, but rough around the edges

by thegsrguy
Oct 10 '08 

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

Pros: Racey motor, nimble suspension, classic roadster looks, surprisingly roomy, Honda reliability, great headlamps
Cons: Weak stereo, long hood, expensive & short-lived tires
The Bottom Line: Undercuts the Boxster and Z4 by thousands but offers better performance. Can't go wrong with the S2000.

Folks, be realistic when considering this car. It's small, loud, and rough. It doesn't hold a lot, gets mediocre gas mileage, and isn't the best daily driver. Quite frankly, this is more of a weekend or limited-use vehicle. You won't want it for ...

A Four Wheeled Motorcycle

by BSmith24 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000
Nov 08 '07 

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

Pros: Great handling, gas mileage, and reliability
Cons: High insurance costs, too "raw" for some, expensive tires
The Bottom Line: While it won't meet many people's expectations as a daily driver, the s2000 is pure sportscar--raw, sexy, and fast.

The Honda S2000 has been around, in the United States, since model year 2000. The 2008 models represent the model's swan song--rumours are flying as to what will replace the roadster in Honda's lineup, but chances are that it won't be a model that truly ...

Superb performance car, but not your grandfather's Oldsmobile

by crf59
Jun 11 '07 

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

Pros: Superb performance, great looks, ultra-reliable, semi-exclusive.
Cons: Hey, it's a convertible sports car, you get everything that goes with that.
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you love open tops, great performance, and high quality. Don't if you want to carry the family or lots of stuff.

I've owned several great cars including 3-Series BMWs, Acuras, etc. I always had an itch to own the S2000 and finally took the plunge with my 2005. The car lives up to its intended purpose in every way and is my favorite of all the cars I've owned. ...

Extremely fun and uncompromising

by rsgben
Dec 26 '07 

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

Pros: Fun. Amazingly fun. Did I mention fun?
Cons: Noisy, uncomfortable, and everyone wants to race you.
The Bottom Line: Perfect combination of fun, fast, and reliable. But there are absolutely positively no creature comforts whatsoever.

I've owned my S2000 for about 6 months now. It's an uncompromising sports car. It's loads of fun, but it's not what you'd call "comfortable" in any stretch of the imagination. But that's just the way I like it. The handling is phenomenal. My ...

An owner's viewpoint

by shmopsi
Oct 02 '05 - Updated Oct 05 '05 

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

Pros: Outstanding quality, handling and performance, and a lot of bang for the buck.
Cons: Small cabin (the nature of the car), somewhat noisy, limited cargo capability.
The Bottom Line: If you want a true sports car, with legendary Honda reliability and value, look no further than the S2000 and you won't be disappointed.

After much deliberation on what kind of sports car to buy and considering offerings from BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Mazda, and Nissan I finally decided upon the Honda S2000. This is my daily driver and I enjoy it tremendously, however you really must ...

The funnest car you'll ever drive!

by pwoblack
Oct 04 '05 

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

Pros: convertible, handling, power, ergonomics, fuel economy, dependability, elegant appearance
Cons: can't disengage passenger air bag; I can't drive it during minnesota winters
The Bottom Line: This car is for anyone who appreciates a remarkably high quality driving experience.

This car consistently surpasses expectations. It's elegant bodywork, rich leather interior, and ergonomically crafted cockpit featuring a START button is only the beginning. The S2000 is far more incredible to drive. At ordinary highway speeds, the ...

05 S2000
by ymy72579  
Apr 12 '07 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Convertible, Exterior, MPG
Cons: Value, Soft top, Re-sale Value, small mechanical problems for honda
I have owned 05 S2000 w/ 5800 miles as of 04/14/07. This vehicle is great weekend cruiser. The car lacks in the power, but it's one of best stock-class suspension vehicle. The price ain't really cheap compare to Nissan 350z, but S2000 comes w/ convertible soft-top. overall, the car is very small. the trunk is big enough to put one 50lb rice bag. I would not recommend this vehicle, who desires luxuary, family or daily drive. Since, the vehicle comes as soft top, it requires intence maintenance such as washing a vehicle at least 3-4 week.
