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.

  Love my S2K - 2002 Honda S2000
  By Pointblank - July 5 - 2:43 am

  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.

  Great Car - 2002 Honda S2000
  By s2000 owner - May 9 - 6:44 pm

  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.

  Best Sports Car? - 2002 Honda S2000
  By jpodvin - March 26 - 1:01 pm

  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!

  Fun time all the time. - 2002 Honda S2000
  By djskrilla - March 17 - 5:05 pm

  If you like having fun when your driving then this is the car for you! Ive had the privilege of driving some nice cars, but the s2000 seems to have the most "raw" feeling when driving. The handling is excellent and precise and the gearbox is extremely smooth. The interior is great and designed in such a way that you dont have to take your hands off the wheel to access any of the controls(audio/ac). Things to know before you consider this car. If youre taller than 6 feet then you might be a little uncomfortable. Its a little low on torque until you reach 6k+ so if you want power right away or without any noise, I would recommend something else. Everything else is preference.

  Always a smile on your face - 2002 Honda S2000
  By piman - March 3 - 10:23 pm

  This is about as perfect a sports car you can get for a relatively cheap price. Car handles amazingly (on dry roads) and is a looker. Subtle exterior design, yet always makes you turn around for a second look. If not for the dreary rainy Portland weather 6 months of the year, this car would be even more awesome. But then again, thats not the cars fault.
