    After four weeks of annoying rain and post pining this review, I finally do a car that has been recommended more than any other-the Honda S2000. Being one of my favorite cars ever is an understatement. Thanks so much for watching and stay awesome!

    s2000 such a great looking car, pure NA sports car through and through. Driving a boosted car for a while, then experincing a decently fast NA car, it puts thing in perspective. I noticed your showing the car more off in this Review while transition back and forth, move in the right direction.

    • @ThatDudeinBlue
      @ThatDudeinBlue  10 лет назад +11

      Yeah, I am trying to show the car more and more with days where I'm not as limited. Most of my reviews before have had a very very strict time frame for shooting so it was very much a "shoot and run" kind of deal. The exterior shots take a a lot more time as well but they are worth it

    This review just forces me to save up for a Honda S2000 and retire the E46 M3. I totally agree with you, that the NSX and S2000 are the best Hondas and THE ONLY Hondas I would totally throw money at for all the good reasons. You can't beat Honda's rwd cars, no matter what Type R Integra or Civic you have. Truly a legend and for all you folks that have one, hold on to them as there will never be cars like these in a few years. That's why I'm holding on to the E46 M3 cuz even BMW doesn't make bimmers like that no more. Awesome review David and that car is a total joy. I need to have one before I die. True driver's car right here folks, you can keep your dual clutch GTR nanny mobiles.

    • @bimmeracing
      @bimmeracing 10 лет назад

    • @647killa
      @647killa 10 лет назад

      bimmeracing While I'm a huge BMW fanboy (for all the right reasons) I do love my JDM cars, especially these old gems. The S2000 is really worth a drive and definitely worth the ownership. The M3 and S2000 have no comparison as one is a sporty coupe while the other is a sporty roadster. They're both great in their own ways and a perfect garage for me would include both of them, along with my old R32 GTR :p
      P.S. E92 M3's are amazing. You should have kept it buddy as it was the last of the unmolested ///M cars, though the new M3/

    • @bimmeracing
      @bimmeracing 10 лет назад

      Yeah , i traded the e92 m3 for a 991 2S pdk , and i got only problems , back to M Power again , im waiting for a m5 f10 competition pack , but i miss n/a noise !

    • @647killa
      @647killa 10 лет назад

      Wow that's strange. I always thought Porsche was quite possibly the most reliable german brand, though I almost consider BMW as the Toyota of Germany, due to their reliability. Oh well, welcome back to the light I guess. I suppose the newer Porsche's are horribly built, like some guy has a whole channel dedicated on RUclips to exposing his Porsche problems and ownership, and Porsche wasn't listening and now finally they gave him a replacement model lol.

    • @bimmeracing
      @bimmeracing 10 лет назад +1

      i liked the Porsche , but many many raddle noises. i hate it ! and other stuff , i never go wrong with BMW , my M3 had 0 problems in 70.000 km of everyday , trackday , with remap and exhaust , worked like a clock ! M Power doesnt play , buy a S2000 , but stick with ur E46 M3 ,

      You could get a lot of excellent low mileage (50,000 or less) S2000's for 15-20 grand. You know. The price of a brand new Honda Fit. I picked up a well maintained one for 10 grand and 100,000 miles. It's a Honda. Everything still works.

      how high is it? I pay 700 a year for full coverage on my S2000. That's like 58 bucks a month. I'm over 25. Let's double that and that would be a reasonable $116 a month. If you can't afford the insurance on a used Honda sports car, you have no business driving one.

    @jacobmitchell85 7 лет назад +4

    I don't think you've really experienced the s2000 and you may be misleading people by saying it's an easy car to drive or a beginner car, this car has been known to kill people who don't know how to drive and that's because at high speed 100+ mph the back end gets very light and steering at the speed through turns takes a steady hand. Wouldn't suggest it as a first track car or if you plan on going really fast in the canyons

    s2000 is a lot better than the brz and miata. No offense to brz and miata but its the truth. I get 24-26mpg combined on my s2000 with all that power and abuse I couldn't ask for more. Miatas and brz gets lower mpg and a lot less power. S2000 and nsx are the only essence of Honda and it's a shame the Honda chopped off their left and right nut discontinuing both cars. SIGH.

Tons of feedback to the driver, handles as if it was on rails, vtec sounds so sweet and you can drop the top for the ladies ;) I don't own one now as I moved on but my wife owns a modded ap2 so I still get to experience the joy. This is coming from a evo owner so you know the s2k is nothing but awesomeness!

      They drive pretty nice, I've had several friend who have them. If I can find one that is actually different and modified at least somewhat I will. I try and stay away from stock cars since there are already channels who do it 100% better than I do.

    • @TomDeVito
      @TomDeVito 10 лет назад +1

      That would be awesome if you can. My buddy used to have a somewhat modded RX 8 nothing big just larger wheels and an exhaust and i think it was lowered a little. Your reviews are awesome man and entertaining you keep on doing what you're doing and the channel will keep on growing like saabkyle04 his channel hit 500k subscribers it's those smaller channels that make car reviews more awesome to watch.

    Im kinda thinking of selling my g35 coupe for a s2000... decisions....

    • @hondata974
      @hondata974 10 лет назад +5

      Selling your G35 Coupe for an S2K will be the same thing as selling your 350Z for an S2K since they are both the same cars except the G35 is roomier, has better quality interior than the cheap looking 350Z, it's a 2+2, and more expensive and the 350Z was an S2K competitor. I prefer the S2000 over the 350Z and I like the G35 Coupe better than the 350Z since it is more luxurious than the Z, roomier, sexier, and have better quality materials, but I would sacrifice luxury for fun to drive factor and lighter feeling and performance, the S2000 is more fun to drive, better ride, it can outhandle the Z and G35 and those rides feel heavier and sluggish just like a Mustang, the S2K better well-engineered, more reliable, more fuel-efficient and you get a NA 4 Cylinder engine with more than 100 HP per liter than can run with the V6 Z and G35. The only things you will sacrifice in the S2000 from the Z and G35 is torque and a better exhaust note, but that doesn't matter to me, I say go for the S2000, however, if you still want luxury quality in a sports car, keep your G35, or else, buy an E46 M3.

    • @thompsontime
      @thompsontime 10 лет назад

      HJ Farooqi yea the only cars I would trade my G35 are a s2000 or E46 m3. I just got my G to the build I wanted and to me it handles great in the canyons (not on the same level as the s2000 due to its weight) but as my all purpose tool and DD its a good fit. S2000 in Los Angeles traffic would be a B**** if I didnt have something else to drive as a DD with the S2000 as my second car.

    • @hondata974
      @hondata974 10 лет назад

      thompsontime Well the S2K isn't a commuter car, it is more of a weekend cruiser and even though it doesn't have an automatic, it would ruin the point of an S2K just like an auto Miata and that's why you see more Miatas with manuals. I agree that the G is better for DD, I like it better than any 3 Series except the M#, it gets the commuting of any luxury car, but you can take it for the weekends too like the 350Z, I would prefer manual, but the G would still be fun even with an auto unlike most auto sports cars, same thing with Porsche's PDK transmission, but yea, I would have a second-hand automatic car for commuting if the S2K was my only car, if your G is auto, I say keep it and save enough money to buy a 2nd car with a manual, or else trade your G for what car you want. Very good point though.

    I dont usually post RUclips comments but I thought Id ask something as an AP2 owner. Before you do a turbo s2000 review, get a "middle ground" perspective of a NA s2000 with coilovers(functional height), thick front sway bar, sticky 255's squared, HFC or test pipe and maybe a flashpro flash tune and everything else stock. I know that sounds awful specific but its pretty standard upgrades for a track oriented s2000 and Im sure there are a few in your area. Take that for a drive and see the night and day difference over stock and then review the turbo build. I would be curious to see your opinion on which you thought was more fun or just what you think.

I've been considering buying another one but a garage is a must as they still rip the top and still the seats out of it. Car is amazing. and honestly, its design is timeliness, it still looks good.

    The S2000 is dear to my heart too. I bet you were top up for production reasons, but to down is so much better.

    ThatDudeinBlue I think at this point its almost a ritual for me to have to sit back and relax, maybe grab something to eat before I watch your car review videos. I feel like its worth setting aside time to watch it on a big screen in 1080p and enjoying it. Keep killin' it with the content man, you have a good mix of cars on the channel so its always interesting. Although, if you can get your hands on a Supra or RX-7 I think that would be awesome.

    I love the way the reviewer says
    "Go ahead, go a little bit faster! You'll be fine."
    He forgot to add "And then it bites you head off..."
    I've had a 2003 AP1 for 5 years now and I quickly learned to respect it. If you drive it hard enough, you're constantly on the edge, it's always a challange, that's what I like about it most. I've spun it twice but was lucky enough to survive both 180s without a scratch. Knock on wood...

  • @timletts1808
    @timletts1808 10 лет назад

    Great video from an AP1 and now supercharged AP2 owner. One correction though. It wasn't released as a millennium car and because of that being released in 2000. It was Honda's 50th anniversary gift to itself and they had only planned to make it for a couple of years. The "2000" in the name is for the displacement of the original F20 engine.

I just found about your channel 2 days ago because I saw the Jasmine video on CarThrottle and have watched every video you uploaded yet since then. They're just so great and a lot better than Reviews from huge channels and companys in my opinion. Your style of presenting is just really nice and enjoyable and I also can identifie with your story and how you got saved by the car culture cause mine's pretty similar :D The S2k is really sexy also :D Keep doing your amazing videos you're doing a damn good job ;)

I bought an s2000 5 years ago and have never looked twice at another car. It is the most enjoyable driving experience, GREAT performance, and bang for the buck I don't think you can beat it.
    The clutch, the shift, the power, all for that kinda money... everyone should go get this car. It's just a blast.

    Lol Ap2 with Ap1 rims. Cool car! Just not a fan of yellow s2k's and it looks really high. Drop it a bit, especially with that front bumper attachment.

    I think you pointed out the main key points very well.
    My only wish is that Luke keep his s2000 stock.
    Its going to unbalance the chassis design and afraid that its going to lose the Miata syndrome " drive fast and not getting trouble "
    Thank you for sharing your thought about s2000!

    You look really happy driving it!

    A lot of Hondas have that high speed stability.
    You know what their most underused platform is? The Accord. It is riced a lot, but nobody builds the f22 cuz it's SOHC; they forget it'll have more bottom end torque when built.
    And it'd make a great GT car.

    I have a question for everyone.
    I just purchased a 2000 civic si and the previous owner had already lowered it. The front end is slightly lower than the rear. My front headlight visibility is a bit shit. They don't reach that far. Is this because it's lowered and/or the front is lower than the back? Also, im new to the car seen. Would you guys suggest modding even though its a daily commute car?

    I think it would be amazing if you were to test out a chevy cobalt SS. Trust me most people automatically see it and are like oh it's "just a cobalt". A good LSJ Turbo (05-07; cobalt ss/sc turbo swapped) will show otherwise. The 08-10 cobalt ss turbos also come factory with 260hp. The 08-10 SS/TC also came with brembo's stock and held the record on the neurinbergh for the fasted FWD production car for a while.These cars are worth the time I promise!! Sorry for being like everyone else and asking you to review a certain car.lol.
