Cons:
Nothing!!!!!
Overall review:
Ok this is one of my dream cars. As a 56 year old woman I have driven many a "sporty car". My first car was a 1958 MGA. Had a Fiat X19, Honda Del Sol, Toyota Celica, Honda Civic Si, etc (im not rich). Always tacked them out with engine upgrades, new tires/rims, spoilers, etc. Not this car. I drive it just the way it came except for adding satellite radio. It's yellow and it's fast. Just love the short shift 6 speed. I have no problems with the radio/cd/xm. A/C in a very hot New Orleans works fabulous. When I drive a car I want to really "drive". What I mean is "to be in touch with my sense's". To drive. And boy you have to be on your Ps and Qs at all times. This car was born to be driven. Cornering is wonderful and crisp. No problem going a hundred on the highway or 25 in the city. Great gas mileage. And oh yes it's so affordable. Just love it! Oh and boys. Woman drive fast, hot cars too.

The Best S2000 Produced
by California on 02/23/2010.
Trim: 2008 Honda S2000 CR A/C 6-Spd MT, Owned 2 years.
1
Pros:
Owned a 2003 S2k before and interior noise is much better in the CR mainly because of Hardtop. On 300 mile trip, car was suprisly comfortable due to the suede/fabric seats and averaged 30Mpg!. Acceleration is quick and precise, cant beat crisp and quick shifting 6 speed transmission on a S2k. Turns heads like crazy, people still nowadays dont believe Honda made this car. Cornering is on a next level. Love the 2 seats, rush hour traffic is a breeze me and my girl carpool. Would have kept both my 03 and CR if it wasnt for the economy.
Cons:
Insurance and Winter driving...but i can live with that....cant wait for summer. Only has 2 seats, with such an awesome car would love to take all my friends but have to make do with 2 at a time.
Overall review:
Great handling car overall !! Will see what Honda plans for the next generation S2000

Sharp Enthusiast's Sportscar
by SJP from DC on 04/25/2008.
Trim: 2008 Honda S2000 6-Spd MT, Owned less than 1 year.
1
Pros:
Looks: A modern interpretation of the classic raodster.
Ergonomics: I'm 6'0" 200lbs. Instruments are clearly visible. The padded leather on the door and center console work well for my elbows. Pedals are well placed for heel and toeing, and nicely finished. The steering wheel is shaped perfectly.
Shifter: Reach to the shifter is perfect, gears snick precisely.
Top Down Motoring: Conversations are easy to carry out at highway speeds (and windows up) .
Driving Dynamics: Road feel is solid, it corners like few cars. Over bumpy roads the car remains composed with no rattles. Brakes offer good feel and grip. The motor revs like a motorcycle engine with an appealing brap.
Cons:
Limited Storage Space: The Boxster has acres of space by comparison, both internally and with the front and rear "trunks". The Z4 also has more. The S2000 and Elise have little by comparison, but this is in keeping with their more flingable lightweight sportscar mission.
Limited Torque: Also in keeping with the car's essence (as it is in the Elise), and guaranteed to keep you involved as a driver if you want to keep it on the boil.
XM Radio Option Pricing: Almost $600 to add the factory XM option to the "XM Ready" radio is outrageous when so many cars include this from the factory.
Overall review:
CONCLUSION: Over the paqst 8 years I'v owned the following cars: a '97 Corvette with a 500hp stroker motor, a '99 996 Porsche 911, an '05 Lotus Elise, an '03 Maser Coupe, a Beck Speedster, a '74 Maser Merak, an '04 GTO, an SRT8 300C, an '04 Boxster S and an '06 997S Porsche 911. The S2000 provides excellent performance for its price compared to the above. It does not have the wow factor of the Porsches or Maseratis nor the torque of most of the above, but it provides every bit of driving enjoyment of the best of these on curvy roads for drivers looking for excellent driving dynamics.
This is a car for drivers looking for a high quality scalpel to carve roads with precision. It will put a smile on any tarmac surgeon.
