For looks only. Not needed otherwise.

I don't think of the UK as having good top down weather very often.
I made my S2k a "coupe". I love my hardtop.
I would not have bought the S without the HT option. I love it. Easy to install the required hardware on the car. Improved the looks, noise level, rear vision, comfort, security, & safety. Now I can hear the stereo & talk on the phone while driving. No, I'm not a convertible guy, but the top removes in a minute or two if desired.
Then, there are those who would rather never have a top on the car....

My hardtop hasn't been off the car in a year or so. I like the car as a coupe. It's not necessary to have one though even if you never put your top down.

Buy it without and decide for yourself after you've got the car.

Only because you dont have a choice, since you get rained or snowed on every time you take it off

I say hardtop is nice as an accessory, if you live in a rainy/snowy area it makes it all the better. I prefer softtop so I can put it up only when necessary (which isnt too often, thankfully)

OEM HT

I also love the S2000 as a coupe. My HT was off for less than 3 months this year.

My opinion is, why buy an S if you want a coupe? If you want a convertible, don't bother with the ht.

If Honda made a S2000 coupe, I would have bought that.

They didn't, so the HT is as close as I can get. I'm not missing the 9K just because it only comes as a convertible
