I created this video and oddly its strange to have been on and off these forums for over 10 years. We have seen trends, learned what works and all of the issues and also why after all of this time the car is still special. I wanted to create a video that helps give back to existing owners and a new generation that is not a click bait that hopefully people will reference like they have the forums for many years.

I didn't and won't watch the video but as an S2000 owner for 14 years and a member of this forum for 15 years, what am I possibly going to learn other than the editing skills of the video producer?
Guess if you're new to the platform or considering the S2000 then these might have some value.
I refuse to click and get these guys paid.

I was already set on a 2006-2009.... this confirms for me. Very educational for someone like me that's playing catchup on the platform.
If nothing else.... I know where to get al suspension components
And.... I'm not joking - dead serious!

It's an excellent ndependent video, I like most of his reviews even if they do lack some emotion. As someone who has owned and driven S2000's since the day they hit the showroom floor in the US, the video pays homage to the car, to Honda, to the engineers who designed the car, and to the owners. It ranks up there with one of the best S2000 Youtube videos your likely to ever see.
Created as in you are Savageese?

For me, I just love reminiscing about our cars- especially well thought out, well edited, well presented videos. This video is like a documentary on the s2000 ownership experience without a shouty host trying to sell me his swag or someone else's stuff.
I encourage you to give it a try, just this once.

Tell me this, since the car was designed with the track in mind does he at least do a lap?

His vids are always great and discuss many things and opinions others never do.
But, have to disagree with some of his points though...
My Ap1 trans is fine. Yes, I get a 2nd gear grind, but very very very rarely and maybe only once per month or two. He must've had bad luck with getting unmaintained trannys.
Also, I find the headroom and interior to be quite spacious (I drive 100% with the top up and I'm 5'10" tall... he looks over 6' tall though).. imo, it's similar space to an MR2 and S13, and feels slightly bigger than a CRX and Del Sol . I fit a big 5' nursery tree in a big 5 gallon pot. I drove an NA Miata once... now That was claustrophobic! I have zero rattles too.
Lastly, the trunk is pretty large imo. I can fit either two 21" carry-on bags, or one 21" carry-on + one 40" large check-in bag, with a little side-room to spare for backpacks. I can also fit 3-4 big bags of soil from the hardware/nursery store in the trunk.

What a great video! Very informative about the car and especially the differences from the ap1 to the ap2.
I was a little disappointed that this is his 4th, I'm on my 3rd, although I've had it since 03 new..
He obviously has spent a lot of time in the car driving it so I found his
perspective very accurate. Great job and thank you for taking the time to post and record this video.
