Something is missing from every car Honda makes today. In fact, it’s missing from almost every car introduced after 2006. It’s not cup holders- during a recent ride in a Fit Sport, I counted no fewer than eleven, all in one tiny, maybe-five-seats-if-all-your-friends-are-skinny hatchback. This represents a 1,000% increase over the S2000, a car whose [...]

The S2000 is known by many to be as close as it gets to pure motoring pleasure with no compromises like back seats or luggage space concerns. So what happens when changes in your life potentially necessitate a change of car to match the needs of the moment? Going through a similar circumstance, the concerns [...]

This weekend, I spent a not inconsiderable amount of time blocking a busy street near a popular southern California beach. Worse, I was in a metallic orange Lamborghini, the gearbox and engine of which were having a disagreement resulting in massive and noisy rpm spikes and zero forward motion. To add visibility to humiliation, the [...]

It does seem odd that a community so vocal about driving with the top down gets all teary when the convertible top frame wears a fine hole through the material. One second you’re a jingoistic top-down proponent cocking a snook (thumbing your nose) at other convertible drivers who are blissfully unaware that the roof can [...]

The S2000 is a roadster, a car Honda designed to connect the driver with the purity of man, machine and the curving road ahead, and with that in mind, everything about the car was designed to elicit a pure, direct driving experience. There are similar cars, the MX-5 and Boxster immediately come to mind, but [...]

I do think that after you’ve been away from your car and you drive it again for the first time, you definitely sense the passion with every shift, with every curve, with every spirited drive. You can feel the dedication and the dream that it took to craft this car. In fact, I feel like [...]

Have you ever pondered the pros and cons of pet ownership while daily driving an S2000? Surely the S2000 is not the most convenient vehicle to carry your pets, but how can we ever imagine leaving our cat or dog at home. That is bound to definitely cast a cloud on a sunny top down [...]

When Honda created the S2000, its goal was to create an unadulterated roadster reminiscent of the S600, created a generation earlier. While the S had a minimalist design, it wasn’t without certain high-end and creature comforts like HID lights, a (weak) stereo with CD player, cruise control, and power top. Thinking back to when you [...]

We’ve heard the stories from several automotive sites and the press releases from Honda about the new Honda CR-Z sports hybrid. Per Honda, this is a very promising vehicle that is supposed to be the beginning of a new era and the direction that their future products will take. The response for the CR-Z as [...]

Have you ever wondered to what extent the S2000 is hand built? Rumors have floated around that the interior was stitched together by experienced female Honda technicians, because they could do a better job than the men. All those rumors may now be put to rest. Understandably Honda (like any other manufacturer) has kept their [...]

Original write-up by gilwood Selling my s2000 was a really unpleasant experience. I had at least two buyers that seemed to fit a certain personality type that I will attempt to describe. Consider yourself forewarned, if you are thinking about selling your S2000. A few people that came to see the car, appreciated it for [...]

This is one special video that really makes us fall in love with our Honda S2000. No matter how many times we’ve seen it, we just can’t get enough of it. The S2000 prototype in Nurburgring’s old circuit was driven by Motoharu “Gan-san” Kurosawa, to the limit, revving up all the way to 10,000 rpm! [...]

The Honda S2000 has once again made it onto a top ten list. We’re not surprised, the S has been a winner since its debut 10 years ago, it accolades including several appearances on 10 Best lists and also being voted one of the cars you must drive before you die, from Car and Driver. [...]

Original write-up by unison21, an STi owner who bought an S2K in less than a week! I made this post on the STI forums and I just wanted to see the perspective from the other side. I was at Buttonwillow this weekend with a friend who drives an S2000 (I think he’s here on S2ki). [...]

Original write-up by Akuma I’ve had my S2000 for about a month now, and what an amazing month it has been. After about three years of falling out of love with all things automotive, for a variety of reasons, the S2000 has rekindled my passion about driving a car. I’m not talking about an A [...]
