Honda S2000 2.0i 2d (1999/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent value for money - nothing has what it offers for a similar price by some margin.
Costs
Not bad at all. The super unleaded comments are spurious as normal unleaded is fine and there is neglible impact to engine performance.

On the road
Driving
Sticks to the road and corners as if telepathically controlled. Keep tyres legal though, or else it will slide in the wet.
Performance
Talk of low torque is not really fair. See what you think after a test drive. Its a focused sports car not a heavy cruiser!

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable - though burns oil for the first 3-4000 miles. 18 months on, I've had no problems of note.
Image
Rare and subtle but with the performance available.
Comfort
A little cramped in the cabin for a large driver. Wind is OK up to 80 then can annoy me a little.

Security and Service
Security
Just missing deadlocks. New cars now have alarm/immobiliser on them as standard. A tracker is a good idea.
Service
Various dealers have been ignorant about the car. One even stole my tonneau without permission for no reason. Honda UK have been good and compensated early owners for the drop in price.
