  This Car Will Scoot - 2005 Honda S2000
  By DEDE - December 17 - 12:56 am

  A great buy for the money. Hondas best kept secret. Top is easy to operate and is down in seconds. Performance and handling are great. Sticks to the road as if it was glued there. Doing 90 before you know it. Have had it to 130. Has looks, speed and handles like a dream what more can you ask for. Honda got this one right.

  S2000 - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Pate - November 10 - 1:18 pm

  I love the car, its a second car for myself and my husband. Its a fun car to drive. The only problems I have experienced so far are a few stalls after starting it up on a cold/frosty morning. And there is a problem with the stereo cutting out for and coming back on of its own accord a few minutes later. We had it checked and they did not find any problems...

  Bullet Train - 2005 Honda S2000
  By gardnpc - November 5 - 5:55 pm

  This thing corners like its on rails. Its also bullet-proof. Ive got over 11,000 miles on it and not a thing to go wrong. Have averaged about 25 mpg driving aggressively. Not much low end torque, but once you get north of 3,000 rpm, and especially when you V-tech the engine, its a wonderful thing. Highly recommended. The metaphor I like to use is its a precision scalpel compared to a butter knife. Get the New Formula Red, it sears the retinas.

  One year and still lovin it! - 2005 Honda S2000
  By airheart6 - September 25 - 10:05 am

  Ive had my car for one year now and I still enjoy each time I get behind the wheel. Ive installed the 8 CD changer as well as the headrest speakers which really make a difference when the top is down. You could hear music before, but you can really hear it well now. I was also pleased about the mileage (Ive gotten 23-25 mpg), not near as good as my Toyota Camry, but much more fun to drive. I find the leg room on this car much better too. I "tried on" many sports cars as I have long legs, and this one "fit". I also liked the glass back window in the top. Its much easier to see out of than the Nissan Z6 (which I found to be roomy inside, but visibility was terrible out the back window).

  so long Porsche....HELLO Honda! - 2005 Honda S2000
  By raymond - August 24 - 11:29 pm

  I thought my Porsche 968 was just the best...cabriolet, only 360000 miles, gorgeous car. And then I got into a yellow pearl metallic s2000 (2005). this car is so so so much more fun than my Porsche. The transmission is so much better geared. Love the exhaust sound. And to top it off, I am no longer paying the college tuition for my Porsche mechanics son! What peace of mind i get knowing that nothing goes wrong with my Honda AND if something does, it is easily diagnosed, cheaply and quickly repaired. This car is without a doubt the finest bargain out there for a performance car. Dump your Porsche and get the Honda s2000!

  A Pure Drivers Car. Period. - 2005 Honda S2000
  By JBG - August 1 - 4:38 am

  Ive owned an 05 S2G since Nov. 2004. This car is built for one purpose. To perform. Everything from the engineering is built to precision. The powerful normally aspirated 2.2 liter VTEC 4 cylinder engine. Best gearbox in the business. World class handling from its super rigid chassis and suspension. Classic and not over the top design. New and old competitors tries to be like it or tries to surpass it. But nothing compares to this cars balance in terms of performance, price, maintenance, build quality and reliability. Get this one of a kind gem before they stop making them.

  Love my daily 70-mile round-trip commute - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Don - July 15 - 10:04 pm

  People think this car is my mid-life crisis... but they didnt spend a year in Iraq thinking about/researching the new car I was going to buy when I got home. My Suzuka Blue Metallic S2000 is a kick to drive: quick acceleration, precise handling, and I dont think I know where the top end is yet... if it has one! Even though my daily commute is 35 miles each way on I-5 from Puyallup to Olympia (WA), I dont mind a little traffic for all the days I get to put the top down, feel the sun and wind, and look out at Puget Sound, Mt. Rainier and the Olympic Mtns. I have the optional hardtop for the wet winter months: good visibility with the full rear window and reduced road noise. I love my S2000!

  A Fun Car - 2005 Honda S2000
  By Gary Strong - July 6 - 1:23 pm

  This is the most enjoyable car I have ever owned. Being 60, I have owned plenty. The car goes through a transformation as you increase the RPMs. It transforms, around 5000 rpms, into a true sports machine, with lots of power and excellent control.
