Overview & Reviews

The 2005 Honda S2000 returns unchanged.

• Agile chassis, rev-happy engine, minimalist design, optional hardtop, high level of performance for the price.

• Could still use some additional low-end torque, shrill engine note at high rpm.

  fun car to drive - 2005 Honda S2000
  By heat2575 - February 5 - 4:16 am

  great looking car with outstanding performance: nimble, quick, responsive. cant really complain about its handling. you will be amazed how fast this car can go with just a 2.2 liter engine. however, it does require revving up the engine to 5600 rpm or else it feels much like a 2.2 accord. 161 lb/ft of torque just doesnt do the job. 20% more torque will be the perfect combinations for its 240 hp. stereo system has to be upgraded. rims are nicer with 17" on 04s and 05s but honda should replace them with more racey looking rims, the design on those stock rims looks kinda sissy. i know i am being very picky here but thats what review is all about, right?

  A true sports car - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Skip - September 29 - 1:46 pm

  I spent a lot of time reviewing and driving all the competitive 2 seaters out there and chose the S2000 and I couldnt be happier with my choice. I have always wanted to drive a sports car and Honda has built one that meets all my expectations including having to put it away for most of our New Hamphire Winter. It does not do well on ice and snow to say the least but I knew that and planned for it. I have seen a few out there this Winter so some people must add snow tires and probably studs and survive. The rest of the year is pure joy. The suspension and handling are consistant and predictable. It is a real 50/50 rear wheel drive car. The engine is smooth and very powerful for a 2.2 L.

  Great Value for a Performance Sports Car - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Bob Hall - September 19 - 7:20 am

  Tremendous value for the money compared to the competition. Great performance and great fun as an occasional driver. Too loud, too small and too harsh a ride to use as a daily driver, especially on the interstate. Buy it for what it is, a true performance sports car, and you will love it. I would definitely buy again (and I plan to keep forever).

  Mid-Life? - 2005 Honda S2000
  By JWal - June 23 - 1:43 pm

  I have wanted an S2000 since they came out. At that time, I settled for an Accord since I still had teens in the house. Well, I just hit 40 and what better gift to give myself! I love it! I dont take it grocery shopping because of the limited space, but I truly enjoy cruising around. It has met and exceeded my expectations. And I have had so many compliments on it already. I know I made the right choice!

  Fun Car - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Bob - May 2 - 6:13 am

  This is my fifth convt - I also still drive an RX-7. I thought the RX-7 was fun to drive until I got my hands on this machine. Right after I got it I took it on a week long trip up through NY, NH, MA, NYC and back to MD. It was a fab experience on all types of roads including tpks and NYC traffic and some very heavy rain in RI with no problems. I really enjoy its tight handling, road feel and ease of shifting. I did and still have difficulty getting the convert cover boot to snap in place. Dropping the top is certainly a lot easier than it is with an RX-7. I also like the acceleration reserve at high speeds - when Im at 70 or 80 I can easily step out and pass anything else on the roa

  Dream Car - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Jim C - March 23 - 10:00 am

  This car is fun! It performs like a racehorse, always ready to run hard. Its really a problem going slow. The build quality is excellent, its styling is something that will look as good 10 years from now as it does today. This car is real tight and handles better than any car Ive ever driven. As a toy its great, not recommended as a "commuter car". This car is what a sports car should be, fast, well handling, beautiful. If youre looking for something to cruise the strip in and look good, look elsewhere, but if you want to have fun carving mountain roads, this car may be for you.

  Top Honda - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Robert - June 29 - 3:53 pm

  The car can best be described as a motorcycle on four wheels. It has all that any pure sports car should have after reviewing the g35 coupe it had some advantages over the s2000 but when you get behind the wheel of this honda it gives you a totally different feeling.

  The S2000 is a totally reliable and fun car to drive. We have done a 900 mile day and were ready to get back into it the next morning. No problem!
