Yes, it's a pricey car for a Honda. But, if you like speed and performance, this is THE car according to its enthusiasts.
The 2004 Honda S2000 introduces a number of changes including a slightly larger engine, a re-designed drive train for even greater response, and a bit of a smoother ride thanks to a new suspension design. Many people wanted larger tires, now they have 17-inch wheels in place of the old 16-inchers.
Consumer enthusiasm is higher than ever as this car is being called the best drive in its class. No one would ever expect this much performance for around $25,000 - especially from Honda. On top of it all, Honda provides all this excitement with a 4-cylinder engine that has excellent fuel economy. Imagine that!
It does requie premium gas, a bit of a drawback with today's gas woes. And it's still noisy.
What owners say
"The 2004 Honda S2000 gets high praise from owners for its breathtaking performance, agile handling, and overall fun driving experience. Many appreciate the car's reliability, low maintenance costs, and distinct sports car look. However, some drivers mentioned limited cargo space and a less-than-ideal audio system as downsides. Overall, it is considered a fantastic choice for those seeking an exhilarating roadster."
Great vehicle. There is not a more fun car to drive for this price point.
March 30, 2021Driving the Honda S2000 is like a dream, when getting into the car you fit perfectly comfortable in well crafted leather seats with the option of cool wind in your hair. The S2000 moves the way you want it to by handling every turn with ease, there is no obstacle an S2000 can't conquer that is of course unless you're driving through a foot of snow but in any case you want to drive that car when you can put the top down and no other car does it any better.
May 25, 2014This car is fun to drive and handles like a dream; gets decent gas mileage (18 to 20 in town and 28 to 30 on the highway). Great perfromance/accerlation. It is a beautiful car and you will have heads turning everywhere you go. The top is so easy to put down and up, only takes a few minutes. I have done it many times at stop lights. Plenty of leg room even if you are tall and have long legs; very comfortable seating. Visibility is great with this car, maybe because it is small. Car has been very low maitenance; in 6.5 years other than regular oil changes (Synthetic Oil) and new tires, have had no maintenance expense. Replaced the front brake pads this past year. Air conditioning and heat both work great. Do not use the AC much, normally if it is nice out, just put the top down. If I did not have grandkids to run around, I would not sell this car. Of all the cars I have owned and driven, this one is by far my favorite.

June 17, 2013If only I could afford this car I would be buried in it. The shifter/transmission mechanism is silky smooth and the seats fit you like a glove. Awesome agility and confident lines highlight this car as one of the most desirable automobiles in its class.
November 27, 2012After searching for many years for the right sports car, the Honda S2000 is the hands down winner. Very fast, agile, and a reliable Honda engine make this the complete deal.
November 4, 2022These are great cars. Quick, fun to drive and with a minimal amount of attention to maintenance reliable. They are also appreciating so if you take good care of this car it should be worth more than you pay today.
June 21, 2022Performance - It's the perfect car for the track. Corners really well, even on street tires. The NA engine is super-responsive, and revs really fast, and has plenty of horses. It has the best shifter I have ever rowed. It weighs 2850 pounds, which is very light for today's standards and makes it a rare, true sports car. Even with the convertible, the chassis is more stiff than many sports coupes. Build Quality - It's a Honda, nuff said. Appearance - It has kind of a timeless roadster look. Not the most flashy, but that's not a bad thing. Cost of Ownership - Except for the fact that I race it, which eats tires and brake pads, it is extremely low maintenance. Fun Factor - Light, tossable, revs to 8K, and will outcorner just about any street car out there.
September 17, 2008I love this car. It is sporty and handles extremely well. Having the option to take the top down is super fun. Feel very cool driving this car. Highly recommended. Probably the best engineering Honda has ever come up with.
March 16, 2014Looks great, transmission is smooth, great gas mileage very low maintenance , good city car, not good for long trips.stereo needs more power, you have to rev the motor to get the power out of the motor. Convertible top goes up or down in only 6 sec.
May 18, 2013Extra fun car to drive, go-cart handling, great trasmission, reliable,beautifull design, good on mileage, very confortable seating, low cost of ownership, i certainly recommend this convertible to someone looking for good balance between power, performance and economy !! I just LOVE it!!!
