Compared with rivals the Honda S2000 is somewhat of a bargain. It is notably quicker and cheaper than rivals such as Porsche's Boxster. Fabulous looks and an un-breakable VTEC engine all add to the package. There are just three colour choices however, red, black and silver. Expect the Honda S2000 to be as reliable as a Civic. Three-year warranty is very reassuring and Honda build quality is legendary.
The Honda S2000 is a car that adapts to the driving conditions. Around town it's easy and agile enough to play city runabout, and on the motorway it's a comfy cruiser. But, when the conditions allow, get the revs up and it's an all out racer. Traditional rear wheel drive set-up is difficult to upset and the electronic power steering provides plenty of feel.
The ride is very soft, even though the suspension set-up is never less than sporty. No compromises here, although the non-height adjustable driver's seat and fixed steering wheel will be a problem for some.
In a word, mature. That's no bad thing. This is a sophisticated two-seat convertible, with true sports car ability combined with everyday practicality. Fabulous styling and a wonderful engine noise make the Honda S2000 the roadster to be seen in.
