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.

  SWEET RIDE - 2002 Honda S2000
  By Lelandro - August 5 - 2:00 am

  A week before I test drove and bought this car, I tested a Corvette. The Hondas handling, feel for the road, and pure fun was far superior and at a much, much lower cost. Like the NSX, Honda knows how to build a sweet ride.

  S2000 The Good, The Bad, and The Pretty - 2002 Honda S2000
  By stanhan - July 30 - 2:00 am

  This is one fun car to drive. If you want to rev, shift and run through the twisties this car is for you. It made me forget about my long lost motorcycle and even the C-5 I sold a couple years ago. In stock form I think it offers just about every feature you could ask for. With its reliability, power convertible top, and performance, there simply isnt anything close for the money (why do you think dealers can mark them up and wont EVER sell them under sticker???). Dont expect the raw power of a V-8. The rear-end was defective ($7,000!). Honda stepped up and repaired it under the factory warranty.

  Great Car, Lousy Transmission - 2002 Honda S2000
  By Jeramy - July 29 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car in December of 2001. Lust at first sight and Love at first drive. After six wonderful months with the car the transmission went sour. The dealership where I live, Allen Honda in College Station, TX claimed the car had been abused and therefore would not be covered under warranty. For sure, I drive hard. But... The car has never been on a race track, I have never missed a shift at high rpm, etc. etc. FYI, the Honda Customer Service rep. told me that shifting at redline can be construed as abuse?!?! Needless to say I will never own another Honda for the rest of my days.

  Watch out for the tranmission - 2002 Honda S2000
  By Luv2drv - July 27 - 2:00 am

  Overall the car is great. However, you got to watch out for the transmission. Not built for the power of the car. Lots of recalls on the transmission, and Honda is not supportive of issues with the transmission because of the numerous problems with it. Other than that, it drives great, looks great!

  If you want a drivers car, not a luxury car, this is the one. This car is made to be driven hard, but still is fun cruising the town. But take it on a twisty road, and it comes alive

  I had a race with my friends boxter and enjoyed an awsome victory celebration. This car is the most awsome car i have ever driven and owned. I have read every review on the internet before getting this car and it is better than I had dreamed. The 2002 is far more refined than the earlier models but one thing is the same the explosive engine at high RPMs.

  I have had the car about 5 months and it was run perfectly. The fit and finish is excellent. The transmission and engine are extremely smooth and feel like a formula I race car. The 9000 rpm red line really is a different experience. It takes a little getting use to the powerband being in the 5500- 7500 rpm range. Not a lot of space but then again I didnt expect much. I did upgrade the speakers and add an amplifier to ensure clearer sound at highway speeds with the top down.

  What a great car! If it werent for the bad gas mileage, it would be as near perfect as any 2002 model could get.

  right on honda - 2002 Honda S2000
  By ken baxter - July 13 - 2:00 am

  This is the best and by far the most fun car I have owned and I have owned a lot of cars. You do not drive the s2000 you ride it. It feels more like a bike than a car. I am so impressed that I have traded in my 2000 model for a 2002. Carry on Honda!
