The question is this: has the perfect car been created with the 2006 Honda S2000? Consumers seem to think so with an overall rating of 9.9 / 10.0. The powerful 4-cylinder engine, combined with a stiff chassis and strong suspension is great for racing. You can still go to the grocery store, as long as you don't mind people starring and wondering.

Little changed this year, the only powertrain is a 237-hp 4-cyl engine and 6-speed manual transmission. Anti-lock brakes are standard - as are the road and revving noise. But road tests demonstrate that overall performance is outstanding with acceleration and braking and if you're gonna go fast, you need to stop fast too.

Traditional Honda value is still present with fuel economy, a great ride, and a dependable machine. MSRP is $34,000, though with deals, you might be able to purchase it for under $30,000.

The lack of space, particularly cargo space, can be offputting to some, but hey, if you want a lot of room, get a minivan.
