Honda S 2000

I had been meaning to test this car out for ages as I have been seriously thinking about buying one (it may be a while before I actually get round to affording one, but that is besides the point). It has always been an ambition since these cars were released into the big wide world that I would one day own one. However, it was not until yesterday that I got a chance to drive one. Now get comfortable, strap in and hold tight as I take you on a little journey... The first thing that struck me about this car was it's gorgeous looks; although this is a small looking car- it only has two seats- it looked like a right beast! It has a very long bonnet and huge ...  Read the complete review

For anyone looking for a real driving experience, along with the thrill of driving a two-seater convertible, the Honda S2000 is very hard to beat. Specifically designed as a roadster, not a hard top with the roof cut off, the Honda is a driving enthusiasts dream. With drop dead looks, an interior based on a formula 1 car with everything at your fingertips, including the big red start button, and an engine, well, let’s go to the engine in a moment. The car that everyone talks about in this class is the Boxster, and not without reason, the Boxster is a sexy, stylish, car that performs well and handles brilliantly but there are a number of them on the road. ...  Read the complete review

We had long held the dream of owning a Black Porsche 911 and were in the position to buy one, so along we went for a test drive. Fantastic, as expected! Unfortunately, the Porsche dealer wasn’t willing to give us quite what we wanted for our 4-year-old SAAB so we decided to sell it privately and return for the 911. There was a Boxter in the showroom and we considered it briefly but after a test drive we almost decided to stick with the SAAB! On the way home, just for interest and having read the review of the new Honda S2000, since we were in the mood for test driving something with performance, we called into the local Honda dealer for a test drive. That was ...  Read the complete review

To Celebrate its 50th anniversary Honda commissioned the S2000, its first FR drive sports car since the 1965 S800. With a classic long bonnet look yet modern styling touches the S2000 is a very impressive looking Sportster. I have always been very impressed by the engineering quality of Honda cars. So would it be as impressive to drive as it looked, well here are some statistics: Honda S2000 Type V Power: 246bhp/8300rpm Torque: 22.20kgf.m/7500rpm Engine: 1997cc, FR (L4 DOHC) Weight: 1260kg Now to the racing driver these are not that impressive but for social use these are perfectly acceptable figures especially when you see ...  Read the complete review

And who would disagree!? Under that glamorous and slick body lies a 240bhp monster waiting to shout out its 9000rpm! But the topless hood and power doesn't mean it has no manners. The S2000 handles better than the average Porsche despite being half the price. The S2000 could take on your Boxsters and your Z3's and could even make the SLK a little queasy and for £28,545 it'd probably be my choice (even though I'm only 16). ...  Read the complete review
