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.

  Cant beat it for the money - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Bob - October 21 - 3:33 pm

  For the money you cant get a better sports car. This car is better than a Porche Boxster and almost as good as a Boxster S which cost almost twice as much money!

  Silver S2000 - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Pat - October 8 - 9:41 am

  Bought this car as a birthday gift for myself in March 04. Had been reading about it and salivating over it since 1999. It is a truly wonderful car with a sexy classic appeal. I have pushed it to its limits cornering wise on several occassions. The back end will get loose if you are not careful. It is definitely a great handling car and I upgraded the tires to Bridgestone PSO2s to make it better. I plan to have this car forever and would take it to heaven with me if I could.....But I hear Angels can fly....:)

  Mid-life crisis cure! - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Gary - October 7 - 12:20 pm

  More than 30 years after my first roadster I bought an S2000. It was worth the wait! Friends have suggested calling it the Honda MLC (for Mid-Life Crisis!) The handling is superb! The engine revs to 8200 so quickly that it scares you the first time you floor it. Everything you read about its performance is true. I feel Im driving a formula 1 race car. The seats are extremely supportive and comfortable. My wife and I are looking forward to our first long road trip. A sports car is meant to be fun to drive and the S2000 succeeds beautifully in accomplishing this mission ! I live in Wisconsin and will drive it daily - except in snow! This car will make your driving dreams come true!

  Best decision I ever made - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Tia - October 1 - 8:04 pm

  Best decision I ever made - My husband races off road KTM Motorcycles and after I introduced him to this baby - lets just say, its hard to keep him out of the drivers seat.

  2 words: fun and quality. Love it! - 2005 Honda S2000
  By JJ - October 1 - 4:58 pm

  Overall feeling of solidity. Amazing seats. Great trunk space (golf clubs or weekly groceries for 3-4 people). Convertible top fast (unlike 350Z) and both latches can be locked/unlocked with one hand. Front end wont scrape (driveways) if careful-nice surprise considering how low car is. Can buy near/ under $30K if you play email game with dealerships. Lively & exciting ride at highway speeds. Excellent seat/pedal/shifter/gauge relationship (Im 62", fit perfectly & can see 100% of gauge cluster-amazing job Honda!). Xenon headlights great at night. Beautiful high-quality interior. Very nice ignition key. High-strung & more race car-like compared to relaxed/pampering Boxster.

  By Ale - September 19 - 1:44 pm

  Im 17 and this is my first sports car. I think it handles better than any BMW or Lexus and the car takes turns like a dream.

  Fun to drive - 2005 Honda S2000
  By jimmy - September 16 - 3:42 pm

  For the price and performance, it is the best value in its class. The handling in this car is exceptional, and since there arent that many out there you get a lot of looks.

  Finally--One to Keep - 2005 Honda S2000
  By LouisM - September 14 - 9:17 am

  This is hands down the most fun car I have ever owned. Gorgeous styling--and, no, it cannot be mistaken for a Miata-- terrific handling, one of the sexiest engine notes imaginable (especially post 6200 rpm), high performance gearbox and shifter, incredibly precise handling/cornering, Honda reliability, a 30k price tag, plus the fact that you see relatively few of them on the road make this a most desirable car. I love it when, as it often does, people ask at lights or at the gas station what Im driving. To a person they say they never heard of the s2000 and that they love the looks. I have to agree with them. I will be keeping this one a long, long time.

  2nd time around - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Truepink - September 3 - 1:23 am

  Ive always puzzled over people who bought the same car twice, that is until I had an accident in my 2001 S2K. I didnt think I would be happy in anything else, so I went ahead and bought the 2005. I cant help but be in a good mood when I take this car out on the road, its the best handling car I can imagine. I do miss the 9000 Rpm scream, but I dont need as many aspirin now.

  S2000 Review - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Eric Klar - September 1 - 6:28 pm

  I live in Albuquerque, where we have little rainfall.This is the car to have here. Excellent handling on mountain roads, good gas mileage, plenty of top down time.
