Seriously?

'06+ cars had a slightly larger engine with a bit more torque, but the Honda reduced the redline from 9,000 rpm to 8,000. These models also have a reputation as being quite reliable, so you get a lot of car for your money when you buy an '06.

They also talk about the '05 as if the '04 isn't the exact same thing.

As usual, these articles are complete garbage and the average S2ki user could write something much better and more accurate. Not sure why IB continues to spam its own site with this trash.

Here, i'll write an article called 5 - no wait, the 9 best years of the s2000
2000- cause its an s2000- this first year was really good
2001- cause its an s2000- the second year was good too
2002- cause its an s2000- boy that 3rd year of production was good with all those suspension improvements and stopped dummies from crashing so much.
2003- cause its an s2000 and all the years are good years- this 4th year of production meant more s2000 goodness
2004- cause its an…oh just forget it already. AP1, AP2- all the years are good years.
next i'll write an article titled, best s2000 OEM wheels. We get it. We all own s2000's and love them, whatever the year.

Well....I think that the 06 was the 1st year with the F22 in Japan? Maybe other places too?

In North America, it was 04.

I love all s2000s. I personally don't think one is better than the other. Different strokes for different folks.
"Interesting" read.

All s2000s are good, raw driving machines, no matter what.
