Honda S2000 2.0i 2d (Alarm) (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Very good, but under pressure from the likes of the RX8 and 350Z (although they don't offer the top-down enjoyment). Makes the Z4, Boxster and TT look laughably expensive and common.
Costs
Despite group 20 rating insurance, can be very sensible if you shop around. Annual service is remarkable cheap (<£150).

On the road
Driving
Fantastic on anything but motorways, where the noise can get a bit tiring if you're going a long way.
Performance
Still not driven anything that compares to the thrill of hitting the v-tec zone as you blast through 6,000rpm. Stunning.

Living with it
Reliability
Has been faultless, apart from the diff which has been replaced three times (under warranty).
Image
I think it's fantastic because it looks great, isn't common. I could not part with this kind of money for a Z4/Boxster because I see several of them each day.
Comfort
Drove to the bottom end of France without any problems, so I guess it must be pretty comfortable. Stereo is pretty useless above about 40mph though.

Security and Service
Security
Still got it, so I guess it must be okay.
