Fantastic Car -- Both In Terms Of Handling, Power, Looks, And For The Price — After having owned 2 MGBs, a 1964 Austin Healy Sprite, a Fiat 124 Spider, and a 1959 MGA, I bought a 1995 Miata off the showroom floor. After over 10 years and almost 150K, it came time to replace it, and I picked a silver 2005 Honda S2000 off of the showroom floor. It has been a fantastic car. One of the best handling cars I've driven. The engine allows 26 mpg wandering around the city and suburbs, economy and excellent handling at low revs. When the engine revs -- all 237 horses kick in, and the car comes into its own. Progressive power, excellent cornering, fantastic brakes, and all of the feedback you'd want from a sports car. For those of us who remember the Triumph GT6 or TR6, this may be the modern, handling equivalent. Fun to drive, fun to autocross, and as a Solo car, a delight. This is a driver's car, you do not have to take your hands off the wheel to adjust the radio volume or A/C-Heater fan switch. At over 6 feet, I am comfortable in the car. After a 12 hour drive down I-95 to Daytona for the 24-Hour, I got out of the car, without aches, pain, or discomfort. The SUV wears me out on I-95, but not the S2000. I've heard that Hondas are appliances, well this appliance just happens to be a lot of fun, while retaining reliability, solid feel and construction, looks, and intelligent design.

Kick In The Pants To Drive! — I bought my 2005 S2000 two years ago as weekend fun car. It has been a blast to drive and tinker with. There are tons of aftermarket parts available for it as well as S2000 specific forums to gain information from. The car is light, rear wheel drive and has plenty of power to play with. Maintenance is easy and cost is average. Great bang for the buck! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Best Compact Collectors Sports Car On The Market — Handling with lowered suspension!! Everything about this car is mint....the interior, the engine bay, the outside appearance, the clean lines....i definetly recommend lowering the s2000 and putting on an aftermarket exhaust system. Greddy Ti-C is my recommendation and Tein Type Flex for coilovers!!! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

I've Enjoyed Owning It — It is a very fun car, but with that come sacrifices lol. I'd have to say my favorite part about it is probably the appearance, that and how it sounds though a tunnel with the top down lol. What I hate is the fact that if it snows or anything along those lines it becomes completely useless, but what do you expect from a rear drive sports car. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Good Track Day Car — pure driver's car, with one single purpose in mind, good chassis stiffness for an open top car, most parts are easy to work on, not much modification needed to be driven on track for a whole day with consistency, one of the best shifter, dare to say better than Porsche's so called "the best shifter in the world" Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Best Handling Car Produced Under $40,000 — Amazing handling with great agility. Lightweight makes for weaving perfect. Engine is made very well. After 6000 RPM car roars. Transmission is very smooth. Maintenance is nothing to worry about. Truly an amazing piece of engineering for its time. Great. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||
