This Year's Model Updates:

Honda has made a number of enhancements to the 2004 Honda S2000. Most importantly, a larger 2.2-liter engine has been fitted. This, along with revised transmission gearing, is meant to improve power delivery. Other changes include updated suspension tuning, 17-inch wheels (16s were the previous standard), upgraded brakes, larger tailpipes and restyled front and rear bumpers with new headlights and taillights. Inside, there's a new center console (with two cupholders and a storage tray) and a bit more shoulder, elbow and hiproom for the driver and passenger. All Honda cars have a new seatbelt reminder system this year.

Pros:
  • Agile chassis, rev-happy engine, minimalist design, optional hardtop, high level of performance for the price.
Cons:
  • Still not much low-end torque, no passenger airbag cut-off switch.

  • The best car I ever owned. - 2004 Honda S2000

    This is the first car I have ever had that I have had any affection for. It is fun to drive, cheap to operate (although it uses $4.25 premium it gets 24 mpg in town) and a real head turner. I only bought it because the trunk holds my golf club bag and the caddy.

    This s200 handles like a race car . I love the acceleration in all the gears and how it handles in curves and take off on the straight aways

  • Best sports car under $60K - 2004 Honda S2000

    Wonderful package that performs much better than reviews in real life. This is a fun, intuitive, personal car that does all the things one expects from a performance roadster while being well mannered. On commute of 100 miles this car is FUN!!! The transmission is smooth as silk with short throws. You can easily heel and toe. There is adequate torque even at low rpm. When you need the power it is there in spades. The brakes are incredible.

    For 2004 Honda Couldnt have done a better job with the S2000 without redesigning the whole car. There isnt to many cars being sold that offer this kind of performance with good gas mileage. According to Car and Driver the 2004 Honda S2000 does a 0-60 in 5.4 sec. and a 1/4 mile in 14.1, with an average of 22 mpg (fueleconomy.gov) mixed driving.

  • Looks Great, but a bit scary - 2004 Honda S2000
    By -

    I like my Honda S2004, but it almost has more power than I feel I can handle. The back end always feels like it is a split second from breaking loose. Maybe because I spun it around on some frost covered roads right after I bought it. Now it sits in the garage all winter.

  • Sold the CBR - 2004 Honda S2000
    By -

    Im 37, just had my 4th kid - wife said no more motorcycles. So we compromised: S2000 (I win). I have a 65 Cobra replica that doesnt get the attention that this car gets - and lemme tell you the S2000 is more fun to drive and easier on the body. I hate to use a cliche, but its a typical Honda: reliable, well- engineered, predictable (in a good way) and advanced. 240 HP out of a 4 cyl. that blows-away cars costing $15,000+ more. Its precise and road- sticky ... you can kick the back-end out when you want, but it never seems to do it absent a quick down-shift and 6,000 RPM boost. ** It would be perfect if it could re- grow some of my hair (Im in pre-mid- life crisis mode).

  • Absolutlely Awesome - 2004 Honda S2000
    By -

    Im so glad i waited until the 2004 came out. The bigger engine is a big improvement and the 17 inch tires really make this car a winner. The handling is remarkable.

  • awsome - 2004 Honda S2000
    By -

    All I have to say about this car is that everything the makers did with this car is awsome.It drives good, Its fast,Its comfortable theres not enough good stuff i can say about this car.
