  A real sports car! - 2003 Honda S2000
  By 9000lover - December 7 - 11:32 pm

  I went to market to buy a real sports car. I test drove Porche, Audi, BMW, Lotus, Fiat and Mercedes. I was set to buy a Boxter when our Motoring writer for the newspaper I manage said to me "have you tested a S2000"? I tried one and was hooked. I guess everyone has a different take on what makes a great roadster but the S2000 ticked all the boxes compared to the others. Amazing engine and transmission was a great start nothing else compared to the driving experiance here. The handling is good but will catch inexperianced drivers out who push it to the limits compared to the Porsche which was idiot proof in this area. Overall though the combination of drive, reliability and sheer fun wins!

  Not for everyone, but it is for me! - 2003 Honda S2000
  By revs29 - December 12 - 2:52 pm

  I have wanted an S2000 for several years and finally purchased one last spring. Owning the car is a little different than I had imagined, but not in a bad way. PROS: the car is absolutely thrilling, extremely direct/controllable with a perfect transmission and exciting 9000RPM engine. Great MPG (25-28), outstanding handling, very fun and agile. Makes every shopping trip feel like an adventure. It is a very special, hand built car and feels like it through and through. CONS: Terrible highway car - loud, obnoxious and buzzy. Very tight on the inside, feels great on a curvy road but not on the freeway. Burns 1qt oil/1.5k mi, but I drive it hard.

  Fun-Factor - 2003 Honda S2000
  By rich - May 28 - 11:58 pm

  This car is an absolute pleasure to drive everyday. The handling is razor- sharp and predictable. The engine is great, not a lot of torque but the gearing is great so its not as noticeable. I personally think it is a very comfortable ride. Ive driven tuned s13s and supras and this car is every bit as fun. If youre looking for balance this is the car to own. Almost perfect from the factory, and the car is absolutely beautiful.

  Awesome car - 2003 Honda S2000
  By s2k - December 15 - 2:00 am

  This car catches peoples attention. Once you get past the break-in period and are able to take the car through the entire RPM band, the car is so much fun to drive. The sound from the exhaust is better appreciated with the top down and the car handles incredibly

  Road Rocket - 2003 Honda S2000
  By g-man - November 2 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car in Chicago and drove it home to Texas. The tight suspension flattens out on the road. The handling is excellent and when you hit the power zone 5500 and up, it feels like a turbo is kicking in. For the price this is undoubtedly the best sports car for the money. On the way home had the pleasure to hook up with a Porsche Boxter. We played with each other for a while and then went to it. This little Road Rocket walked away from the Boxter. We backed off well over 100 (130 speedometer) with plenty off pedal left. Sometimes I need to remind myself its a Honda!

  Like a motorcycle with 4 tires... - 2003 Honda S2000
  By BarryO - September 20 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my S2000 for a bit more than 5 months. The vehicle has been very enjoyable in most areas: The finest 4- Cylinder motor on the planet, great 6- speed shifter, excellent handling. Gas mileage has been between fantastic, between 27 - 29 MPG. Issues? Storage space is a joke (no glovebox...and the storage space between the seats is difficult to get to while driving), and legroom is tight (Im 61"). In the end, theres nothing that really competes with it @ the price: Not the Miata, not the Mustang, not the TT. The Z3 / Z4 are more expensive.

  Still strong after 6 years! - 2003 Honda S2000
  By Dave Lucas - July 30 - 7:06 am

  I have liked the S2000 since I first saw it, prior to the first sell. It has pleasing, timeless lines and handles quite well. In fact, when I drive other cars for short periods, then get back to the S2000 - that is when I really appreciate how it handles. True, the car is not for everyone, but that is what I tried to avoid in the first place (a vanilla car). I look forward to having this car for another 10+ years - may be get a nice paint job when it starts to show its age!

  Awesome...until I can get F360 Spider - 2003 Honda S2000
  By Jeff - July 29 - 10:00 am

  If you want a torque monster, this aint it. If you are looking for rear end warmers, this aint it either. If you are looking for pure unadulterated driving fun for less than 60k. There arent too many other choices. The only other convertible I would consider to be similar would be Porche Boxter S. I like this one slightly more, so the 15k savings just gives me that extra incentive to keep the money in my pocket.

  best money i ever spent for a car - 2003 Honda S2000
  By rudy - June 27 - 2:00 am

  i get a smile every time i get into this car, after that my smile gets bigger! ive owned an MG years ago and this is way better. This car will scare most people before it gives and when it does it does gently. I drive it like a madman and my wife can drive it and be cool, its a wonderful machine!!
