2001 Honda S2000 review from North America
"The closest thing to sports car perfection"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This is a pure sportscar with amazing refinement. Fit and finish are superb.
The 6 speed transmission and clutch are the smoothest I have ever used (Vette, Supra Turbo, Porsche, Z28, MR2 Turbo, Viper).
The ride is smooth with excellent feel and virtually no body roll. The 50/50 balance and light weight make this car a blast to drive.
Acceleration is amazing with a 6k rpm clutch release and then shift at 8k rpm and just hold on!
This is the best sports car I have ever owned at any price! I am also 6' 3" and 215 lbs, most cars do not handle my size well (Z3 and Boxster). The Vette was comfortable as well.
Maintenance costs are only $21 every 7,500 miles for an oil change.
