This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Agile chassis, rev-happy engine, minimalist design, optional hardtop.
Cons:
  • Not much low-end torque, no passenger airbag cut-off switch.

  • Kickin your Butt by 9000 RPM! - 2002 Honda S2000
    By -

    The new kid on Hondas block is very much making a statement. A formula one wanna-be is actually close to the real thing. Obvious styling cues have been taken from Honda Racing Division. Not too surprising, considering some of the boys at Honda Racing had a major voice on the engineering aspects of the car. Bottom line... next time ANY type of Mustang pulls next to your S2 at the line, have no fear, S2000 will lead.

    having driven nothing but celicas, the s 2000 is the first close-to- performance car ive owned. very sturdy handling, very responsive. typical tight suspension...probably the bumpiest ride ive ever had. but, to be expected

    This vehicle is flat out fun to drive. What an engine! The handling is terrific.

  • Great Roadster without sticker shock! - 2002 Honda S2000

    I love this car. It has exceeded my expectations! Looked at Porsche, BMW, and it was close with Mercedes, but maintenace is cheap and got a 2002 with 500 miles used from a private party below sticker.

  • Love my S2K - 2002 Honda S2000

    Ive taken my Honda S2000 to Laguna Seca twice already, and the car begs to be driven hard. I havent had one problem with the car, just simple fluid changes here and there and its good to go. The car handles like a go-kart, and the engine is a gem. For the money, I dont believe I could have purchased a better car in terms of fun factor. The ride can get a bit on the harsh side, but thats mostly on pretty beat up roads. With a good driver, you can pass up plenty of cars on the racetrack that costs much more, or has more power due to its good handling and balance. Putting the top down on a whim is always fun. And last but not least, the gearbox is plain perfection, very crisp throws.

  • Not for comfort - 2002 Honda S2000

    The S2000 is a fun car, but seriously lacks in comfort. If you into speed and can handle a 2 seater this is your car, but you may want to rethink road trips in it.

    wonderful car

  • Great Car - 2002 Honda S2000

    Very fun car to drive. Gets looks/compliments everywhere you go. People dont expect it to be a Honda, and tend to think its a lot more expensive than it really is. Interior is a little cramped, but goes along with the territory of owning a 2-seater. Otherwise, the gauges/controls are very driver oriented. Light-weight / RWD / lack of traction control can get a little scary in the rain. Suspension is pretty stiff and not too comfortable. A true enthusiasts car, Honda did well on this one. Id absolutely adore it if it were my weekend car, but since its a daily driver, the stiff suspension and lack of traction control and torque can get annoying. performance - yes. Practicality - no.

    this car is great on a curvy road. the convertible top is easy and fast. the whole car is easy and fast.

  • Best Sports Car? - 2002 Honda S2000
    By -

    This has got to be the best all around sports car I have ever driven, and I have owned many. Stylish body lines, suburb suspension, Near 50/50 weight distribution and what has to be the most powerful 2.0 four cylinder in production! Not to mention the 9K redline, and ability to sustain 26 MPG under my abusive driving. Some people have complained that there is not enough low end torque, but I say show me a four cylinder sports car with more. At 60 MPH in sixth gear I rarely have to downshift to pass. Has more low end torque than my fiances civic Si, and weighs less too!
