2001 S2000
Is it any wonder that the Honda S2000 has been hailed by perceptive drivers as a new paragon of roadworthiness, considering that the distribution of its masses..........L J K Setright
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.......George Bernard Shaw
Ever since September of 2008, we have seen the fruits of the fiat money roots that Mises warned against almost a century ago. But modern free-market economists are as hostile to Mises's theory of the business cycle as they were hostile to Mises's theory of the economic irrationalism of socialism . . . until the Soviet Union fell. Then, they got religion, but they still never mention Mises. It was as if he had never lived....Gary North

Much as I trust Honda tech (if not techs) I am most definitely not keen on cars that are unnecessarily complex on the routine maintenance front. A four hour multi point oil change must be some sort of record.

It's a colossal grand complication - the dry-sumped Cosworth-cast engine has several drainage points, there's a DCT/motor/diff unit, a gearbox between the twin front motors, 27 heat exchangers...
And a complicated construction if it gets pranged.
No wonder it's allegedly other-worldly to drive on any road.
Makes my NA2 seem like a Caterham Seven with a Ford Kent.
I'm far too cowardly to countenance one.

Trouble is, looking at Honda's terms, it appears the car only has a three year/100,000 km warranty and the extended guarantee isn't available for the NSX. That's not inspiring confidence
