    This is the fastest honda you ever can get stock. Stick a supercharger on the baby and it will really shine. It burns boxsters and bmw zs and gives those supras and challenge

  • But New In Sioux Falls South Dakota - 2001 Honda S2000
    By -

    Everyone in Missouri wanted $5K over sticker, but Vern Edie Honda in Sioux Falls sold me a nice grey with red interior S2000 brand new and trained it down to Kansas City. Now 17 years later I have 29,000 miles on it and the value is going over the price I paid for it. Granted I drive it for fun, pleasure and it sits in a temperature controlled garage. As I hit my 60s I will say by bones are as forgiving as they were in my 40s, but I am so glad I didnt choose the Porsche Boxster or Audi TT, both considerations at the time. Went for the true sportscar, basic and made for one that loves driving. Strange that those cars are worth about $5-8K now. Repairs, never had one yet, just change the oil every year, scheduled maintenance (time not mileage) put some Stabil fuel additive and a battery trickler and I am all set. Have a few fancy Mugen Carbon fiber tops I have added (they have been about half price the last 5 years since many or gone), gives the vehicle a nice coupe look, the other a fastback that is really an eye-catcher. Its a hobby, not a car for use and its a lot of fun. Had to switch to Haggerty special insurance for $30K. The stick is not one to train someone to drive stick shift, failed with two daughters (maybe the teacher). A great stress reliever to take out on the backroads and rare enough many people ask me "what is it", especially with one of the Mugen tops on. Update 2018, still running strong, up for Winter, prices are approaching original MSRP on eBay, glad I didnt by the Audi TT, BMW Z roadsters or Porsche Boxster. Purchased another Carbon Fiber fastback top (since retailers are clearing out stock on a car not made for the past 8 years), got it for less than half price from the original $4700. Also purchased a flat bottom steering wheel (6 ft 1 in). Gives a completely different look to the car than the other top, that I have had for close to 18 years now. Looks like it will just be a keeper, no electronics to save you like todays sports cars, you need to know how to drive and save yourself when you make a mistake. Keeping all the original equipment, which most the car is, car has been great fun, have to insure through Haggerty with prices actually rising now.

    Great fun drive, go kart handling, most comfortable sports car ever driven. Closest Ill get to Formula 1!!! Great value for money. Outperforms overpriced/overhyped Boxter and ugly sedate Z3.

    Car has performed superbly, with excellent fuel economy (26.5 mpg). Handles like a car on a rail. Mechanicals flawless and looks always turn heads!

  • 1 month anniversary - 2001 Honda S2000

    Its everything I ever wanted in a car and just a little bit more. I truly do look for a longer way home. This car is so powerful and fun to drive. The day after I picked it up I drove across country with the top down, racked up almost 3,000 miles. It was great, but if you dont want to draw attention to yorself stay out of one of these. Most people did not even know what kind of car this was and it seem to draw a crowd where ever I parked it. I drive it as an every day driver and I love it.

  • A honda motorcycle with doors!!! - 2001 Honda S2000
    By -

    This car is a motorcycle w/ doors!! It handles so well that I am surprised when I have to use my brakes. Also, it is definitely an eye catcher, all for $29K. No Porsche, Audi, or BMW is as a complete package as the S2000. It is not my everyday driver but it is a great way to relax, especially around 6000 rpm. Buy one if you can find one, rumor has it that 2004 is the last year of production...I can definitely see collectible written all over this one.

    This is a sports car... If you want anything other than that look elsewhere... This is a car for those people who love to drive their cars, and not just for day to day transportation. There are many fabulous roadsters on the market today, but in my humble opinion this car is the best combination of speed, style, value, and fun!!!

  • S2000 at 1 Year - 2001 Honda S2000
    By -

    Ive owed BMWs and other sports cars and this one without a doubt is the most fun to drive. A little weak in the low in power range but you forget all about that when the rpms rise above 6500. I have experienced no problems with the vehicle and other than me wearing a set of rear tires off nothing other than normal maintaince has been done. I would highly recommend this car to anyone.
