Overview & Reviews
For 2002, Honda has added a glass rear window with a defroster, an improved transmission and a more powerful audio system. There are also a handful of minor changes that only '00-'01 S2000 owners would notice, such as chrome-bezel taillights, an upgraded center console, door panel net storage pockets, a new shifter knob, an aluminum-accented foot rest and silver trim interior accents. There's also a new color for 2002: Suzuka Blue.
- Agile chassis, rev-happy engine, minimalist design, optional hardtop.
- Not much low-end torque, no passenger airbag cut-off switch.

One Great Roadster - 2002 Honda S2000
By hammer down - September 10 - 2:00 amS2000 is a great roadster. Fun to drive with excellent handling, stylish headturning looks and reasonably priced to boot. Puts a smile on my face every day.

Greatest Car Ever - 2002 Honda S2000
By shemp - September 10 - 2:00 amI have lusted after this car for 5 yrs since I laid eyes on it seeing it as a concept car. I finally got the chance to purchase one this past fall. I test drove over 50 vehicles trying to find one that would make me change my mind about buying an S2000. Both my parents and my girlfriend pleaded against the S2000, but there was no car that made me feel the way I did behind the wheel of what I consider an "F-1 race car with an extra seat." I LOVE THIS CAR.

Love my convertable..lifetime dream! - 2002 Honda S2000
By Pharmacist - September 6 - 2:00 amI have wanted a convertable since 1953. The S2000 is my first and the true joy of driving has been revealed. I really do make up excuses to drive somewhere just to get behind the wheel. What a delight!

Best Value on the road - 2002 Honda S2000
By frussell - September 5 - 2:00 amIve had this car for 4 months and it gets better every day. I bought it on- line and paid $200 over invoice. I had to travel an hour to get it but it was well worth it, local dealers were all sticker or sticker +. After driving Z3s and Boxsters this is faster, better handling and I dont see 5 on the way to work every day.

new S2000 - 2002 Honda S2000
By dundonrl - September 1 - 2:00 amgreat weekend/alternative car.. it has enough power for around town, and above 6000 rpm really wakes up when the VTEC enables the high lift lobes on the cams

Luv this car! - 2002 Honda S2000
By HiFlyer - August 29 - 2:00 amAnyone who says they need more torque doesnt know how to drive a high-rev machine. You can spin the wheels forever at a dead stop forever if you care to waste rubber. Shifting is smooth at all revs but dont try to skip gears at hi-revs. Tires dont wear...get the Dunlop super sport assymetrics at Tires.com for great wet/dry traction, anti-hydro and (relatively)long life...much better than the original Bridgestones. I wouldnt change much of anything.

The perfect secondary vehicle - 2002 Honda S2000
By s2kterpnut - August 26 - 2:00 amPerfect non-primary car for top-down, sporting fun. Everything one would expect from a first-rate sports car: powerful high-reving engine, great handling, rigid chassis, good brakes and sticky tires. Manual tranny, rough ride, noise and limited storage make this a poor daily commuter though.

Freakin Awesome! - 2002 Honda S2000
By kwyxand - August 23 - 2:00 amThis is the most fun you can have outside of sex! The power surge that you get when the VTEC cuts in takes you from "driving the car" to "just holding on" is a rush! And the handling was a pleasant surprise... my Acura TL-S feels like a boat now. Thr controls are easy to operate and well positioned for the most part... Im not real fond of the cup holder in the console since it interferes with shifting when there is a 16oz cup in it. And the stereo is just okay. It could benefit from a few more amps and better speaker placement... the CD also has skipping problems, probably from the stiff suspension... not a sign of the quality unit that I expected.

Very new S2! - 2002 Honda S2000
By FF2Skip - August 11 - 2:00 amAfter test driving one, I bought one not for the looks, but for its superb handling. I begged my wife to test drive it. Golf clubs fit in the trunk unlike the MR2. Seats are reassuringly firm, supportive when cornering hard. After 200 miles, I still havent found a comfortable position to rest my left arm for any extended period of time (freeway driving). As everyone has already noted, running this car at such high rpms is different- the ear has to adjust. Top operation is quick and easy. Its amazing that so many people do not even know what it is! Guess they havent seen "Fast & the Furious."
