I considered black because when a black car is clean, nothing looks better. Didn't get it because of how difficult it is to keep clean.
I considered white, but had two white Integras before and wanted something different.
Considered red because of Ferraris and "all true sports cars are red". Just never liked red (except on Ferraris).
Ended up getting yellow because it just screams at you to look at it. Don't regret it at all. It is an eye catcher.

I'm with Dario. Yellow was the only color for me. Honda put it on the cover of the '02 brochure for a reason. Black is awesome as well. Can't go wrong with this car in any color.

I was going to wait to get an S2000 used after 2nd model year and when demand/prices dropped...

Then I was passing my local Honda dealer & a Yellow was sitting on the corner...

I bought it right away.

The car is so perfect, buying it is a no-brainer, the yellow was the emotional hook.

To each there own, but for me, this type of car should draw attention, and the yellow definately does!

I usually don't like yellow cars, but the convertible isn't overwhelming, and it is a warmer tone than most.

Not only that, the fine metal-flake gives it a depth that most don't have.

If you're a German/Porsche fan get silver..

If you're an Italian/Ferrari fan get red..

If you're an S2000 fan, get yellow.. Hehe..

But seriously, I do know silver owners complain about getting run off the road when other drivers don't see them.

I've never had that problem in the yellow.

for me it was a toss up between the white and yellow. as you can see by my name i picked yellow. yellow is sporty and to me looks really good on a s2000. white is really nice and and also loves how it looks especialy with the red interior. if you want a lot of attention, get yellow. if yellow is a bit much for you i would deffinatly go with white.

I wanted yellow badly, but they don't have it here in Canada. So I ended up falling in love with the Suzuka blue. You have to see it in person to appreciate it. The blue interior is almost perfect. You hardly notice that you're in an all blue interior.

I must agree. Yellow was the seller for me. I always wanted an S2000, but I didn't actually get one until I saw a 2001 model sitting on a stand in a car lot for sale. It was Yellow and REALLY caught my attention. I also noticed that with 8000 miles on it, they still wanted $31,500 for it! Talk about hold your value! So I went out and picked up a Spa Yellow 2002 the next month. Loving it!

i dunno, right now its like all the colors could be great. Suzuka blue is my favorite and IMO the best color, but i have my doubts about the blue interior......? Silver, red, and yellow are possiblities and black/black or red int. (which one?). What do u think? So hard choosing the perfect colors for the perfect car...........hehe
