Honda S2000 2.0i 2d (1999/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Paid almost £32k for mine new (with extras), worth £20 after a year because Honda slashed the price.
Costs
Heavy depreciation for early buyers like me, otherwise cheap to run for a roadster.

On the road
Driving
Prone to oversteer if pushed hard, also tends to Kangaroo at low revs in traffic.
Performance
Fantastic at high revs, docile at low revs. You can't drive down the high street at 8000rpm though.

Living with it
Reliability
A few minor niggles - leaky A/C, warped rear discs, otherwise fine.
Image
Still quite rare although early models are reaching boy racer prices now. Not a Porsche, but that's exactly the point.
Comfort
Lovely interior, better equipped than most cars of this type.

Security and Service
Security
Mine was stolen - never figured out how. Cat 1 immobiliser was fitted too (was an extra).
Service
Honda dealers better than most but still not overly impressed.
