Strength:

Handling, brakes, acceleration, Styling and the looks it gets, and its exclusivity. I used everyday to got for my boss at bois chauffage Lac-Brome.

Weakness:

I would have done it alot sooner but the weather (snow) has been terrible. I love everything about the car, the looks, the acceleration, the handling, the brakes and the fact that I haven't seen another one on the road. Everyone is complaining about the radio, but these are probably people who have those monster woofers that take up the whole trunk or back seat and shake windows as they come down the block. Hey whatever, the radio is more than adequate, I turn it down anyway to listen to the engine and will probably turn it off completely after I put the Borla exhaust system on. I've never had a car that I want to drive all the time, and will make any excuse to get in and drive, even onramps to highways have become fun. I also managed to get a midsize mizuno golf bag with a 46 inch Nike driver in the trunk, along with my workout bag and laptop backpack, so where there is a will, there is a way.

Strength:

WICKEDLY FUN!!!Amazing handeling, aggressive 2.0 liter engine that screams up to 9k RPM, great seats that hug you when you are driving aggressively, comfortable driving position, one of the best shifters ever!!! Timeless exterior design that never gets dated. Good audio with the top up. Very stiff body that doesn't creek or rattle in any way.

Weakness:

Paint is very soft and swirls very easily with basic washes. Audio is horrible when the top is down.

I cannot say enough good things about this car. It is just a blast to drive. It literally feels like a street legal race car. The car just wants to be driven fast. It makes driving the speed limit feel like a chore since you can actually feel that the car is easily capable of so much more. It has a very stiff chassis that allows very precise and crisp handeling, although the car is not in any way harsh. The interior is just awesome. The seats are very comfortable and nicely designed. The steering wheel is also very nice as it is wrapped in perforated leather, with a very very close steer ratio. Any little movement in the steering wheel will be felt on the car, which is why this car must be driven with finesse..no harsh movement on the wheel or you may suffer some oversteer. The sound system isn't bad. It sound great when the top is up, but as soon as the top goes down, you can forget about music because you will only hear mild distorion. The shifter is just amazing. It is extremely short and precise without having that annoying notchy feeling that comes with most aftermarket short throw shifters. The engine is just a little beast. It has such an aggressive tone once it enters into v-tec at about 5,500 RPM. Although many people argue that the car lacks torque, it definately has alot of power. I was surprised at the way the car puts you in your seat once the v-tec is engaged. I have owned and driven several other sports cars which include a 2002 WS6 Trans Am, C5 Corvette, Audi TT, and a BMW 330CI, and have never driven a car that can give you the exhilaration this car will give you.You will get out of the car feeling exhausted from the rush you just experienced, but will immediately want to get back in for some more. Overall, this is definately one of the best sports cars from 2000-2010.

Strength:

Incredibly fast and comfortable. Hugs the road very well. One of the best gear boxes on the market. Great Seats.

Weakness:

Lots of Maintenance items have to be repaired and most problems are not covered under warranty.
Also- not crazy about the dash guages. It would have been really cool in 1985 but now is outdated. I wish they would have done something more classic like the new american muscle cars are using.

Maintenance! Beware of the Clutch!
After one year of ownership, I have to say I have a very mixed opinion on this car. Yes, it is extemely fast and fun to drive. Also it is the most comfortable and has the best steering of any car in its class.
I purchased the car with 13,000 miles on it and have had stupid annoying problems ever since. First the ragtop developed a hole in the passenger side the first 30 days I had the car. This is apparently an ongoing problem with this car and you will notice it has happened on most earlier models. I had to have it patched because the dealer wanted $2,000 for a new top and even though the car only had 13K miles, it was 3 years out of warranty so no luck there. At 21K miles, the clutch developed a problem where at high rpms it could not be pushed to the floor. I had the slave and master cylinders changed out by the local honda dealer under aftermarket warranty whiched fixed nothing and made the clutch start to slip. At 28,000 miles I had to replace the entire clutch!(Not a warranted item.) The dealer wanted $2,200 for a new clutch! To add insult to injury, I was told by two honda dealers that a lot of these cars will go through 3-5 clutches before hitting 100K miles because of the high rpms and low torque, it causes the clutch to slip. If you do the math that's between $6,600 and $11,000 in possible clutch repair! Not to mention having to replace tires and breaks every 30K miles or so. I have owned 4 manual cars since I was 16 years old and have never ever replaced a clutch!
This is an incredibly fun car but I am having a problem justifying the money I am having to put into it.
Be warned- even with Honda's reputation for reliability and affordability, this is a bare bones sports car that requires sports car maintenance at a premium cost!

Strength:

Handling. Reliability. Transmission. Engine. Price, for what you get.

Weakness:

A bit loud. A bit harsh. Expected for a car in this class.

I thought S2000 was a toy car, like a Miata. I was surprised when I drove one. It actually is a hardcore sports car. This car, has nothing to do with the rest of the Honda/Acura line. It is rear-wheel-drive, has perfect 50-50 front and rear weight distribution, amazing 4-cylinder engine, and the BEST 6-speed transmission ever made.

As with other Honda's, it is very reliable, has excellent interior ergonomics, and is very well built.

I drove similar cars, BMW Z4 and Nissan 350Z. These cars feel like regular cars compared to S2000. S2000 feels like a race car.

The car fits me very well, and I am 6'1". The trunk, though on the small side, will carry a lot. Soft top is maintenance free.

I like that I won't need to spend a fortune to maintain it when the warranty runs out, unlike a BMW, Audi, or a Porsche. And yet, it handles better than most of these cars...

However, S2000 is not for everyone. It is loud. It has no navigation. It is as pure as a car can ever be.

Similar Products Used:

Test drove: Z4, 350Z. 3-series, Acura TL, TSX, Mercedes C series, E series. S handles better than all of these.

Strength:

Speed, speed, and more speed. It handles beautifully.

Weakness:

Loud, vibration, tight quarters, uninsulated top.

Great little race car / roadster. It is NOT an every day driver and is not a cruiser. It is all mean little street machine.

Strength:

The handling, style, weight, fast convertible, easy to learn gearbox, sport steering wheel and good on gas.

Weakness:

The WORST thing is the stereo. It is a complete waste. My stereo just out of the blue stopped working. I have taken it to Honda and they done even know what's wrong with it. Also, in the rain be careful, although it is a rear drive car the bridgestone pontenzas are awful when they are wet. The seats also make your back sweaty after a ride on a hot day. They also hurt your back on long trips.

The S2000 overall is an amazing car. I have had mine for about two years now and I am still in love with it. The handling is amazing and the car its self looks lovely. The xenon headlamps at night really give it a more aggressive look. The speedometer is digital, which makes it easy to know how fast you are going without looking away from the road.

Strength:

Handling, braking, looks, and comfort.

Weakness:

The radio badly needs an upgrade, I also wish they would have replaced the plastic around the AC knob, and radio controls with aluminum on the dash due to susceptibility of scratches. I would also have preferred if the company offered a sport version with 300hp.

I was looking at the Lotus Elise however after a test drive I was convinced for the price the S2000 couldn't be beat. The Lotus was small and cramped however the S2000 fits like a glove. It is also easy to drive and yet fast enough to have fun on twisty roads and I am also able to use it as a daily commuter. If it had 53 more horsepower it would be an even better automobile.
