In this review, Doug DeMuro takes a deep dive into the iconic 2000 Honda S2000, a true enthusiast's dream. This classic sports car, with its rear-wheel drive, manual transmission, and open roof, epitomizes the essence of driving pleasure. The S2000's design, finished in striking new formula red, remains largely unmodified, preserving its original charm. Despite its basic nature, lacking features like a glass rear window and a clock, the S2000 shines as a driver-focused machine, with controls intuitively placed for maximum engagement.
Under the hood, the S2000 boasts a 2.0L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine, delivering an impressive 240 horsepower. However, enthusiasts criticized its lack of torque, necessitating high revs to unlock its full potential. Honda later responded with a revised 2.2L engine, addressing this issue by providing more torque at lower revs. The debate between the AP1 and AP2 models rages on, each offering a unique driving experience that appeals to different sensibilities.
Inside the S2000, the driver is the center of attention, with a cockpit-like layout that puts all essential controls within easy reach. Creature comforts like cruise control and a power-operated convertible top add a touch of convenience to this performance-oriented machine. While traditional storage features are notably absent, unconventional storage solutions offer practicality in unexpected places. The S2000's design, with minimal badging and a muscular stance, exudes a sense of purpose and performance that sets it apart from its competitors.
