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.

  • Greatest Car Ever - 2002 Honda S2000
    By -

    I 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

    I 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 -

    Ive 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.

    Anyone 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.

  • Awesome Vehicle, MUst Get - 2002 Honda S2000

    This is a very nice car. It has great fuel economy. And also has a powerful engine that has a 9 redline.

  • Very new S2! - 2002 Honda S2000
    By -

    After 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."

    this car has no limitation on speed.

  • SWEET RIDE - 2002 Honda S2000
    By -

    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.

    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.
