Overview & Reviews

The 2008 Honda S2000 adds a new trim, the performance-oriented CR. This racer-inspired edition brings with it track-oriented suspension settings, reduced curb weight, higher rigidity, a removable hardtop and extroverted, more aerodynamic bodywork. All S2000s this year have a revised gauge cluster, and Honda says it's retuned the regular model's suspension for better high-speed stability.

• Nimble chassis, rev-happy engine, minimalist design, impressive amount of performance for the price.

• Missing key modern features, engine is light on low-end torque compared to the competition, shrill engine note at high rpm.

  It is a keeper - 2008 Honda S2000
  By iownans2000 - January 22 - 8:56 pm

  If you want a fun car, this is it. However, it is NOT an every day car. I have owned several sports cars, the last being a 350z. The S2000, is much more fun than the Z, has a better road feel and is easier to drive. However, the inside is tight and there is not much leg room. If this is your 3rd you will want to drive it often. However, if this is your primary car, you will wish it had more room.

  Not for the road! - 2008 Honda S2000
  By Honda2000CR - December 10 - 3:30 pm

  Beware to all, the CR is only for the track. If you are thinking about it for a daily driver or even a weekend getaway car, get the regualar S2000. I drove it less then eight miles on a "standard" road, felt like I went 10 round with Mayweather giving me kidney shots. If you are going to use it for what it was made for (track), youll have a blast.

  Honda Hits A Home Run - 2008 Honda S2000
  By Michael Yeager - December 7 - 11:13 am

  A practical sports car? Ive owned and driven true sports cars such as the MGB and Fiat X-19. As all true sports cars are supposed to be, they were cramped, noisy, with no room for luggage -- in short highly impractical -- but a blast to drive. Here is a true sports car in every sense with high-tech handling and more power than all but the most experienced sports car guy can handle. The S-2000 has changed little, but when youve approached perfection, why mess around. Honda pays attention to critics. Although HP numbers have evolved downward slightly, the mid-band torque is now just right. 50/50 balance, a bit light in the rear for traction, but great handling.
