www.inautonews.com/honda-s2000-successor-gets-detailed-in-new-report#.VAlIM_ldW3k It's already been rumored to be in development. It seems like it's going to be a much different car though. Mid-engine, turbo+electric-motors, dual-clutch transmission... We'll see, I guess.
I legit watch every video of his just to see him turn on to the back roads and hammer it. I watched him drive ThatDudeinBlue mustang video about 10 times. haha Pure emotions. BEST
same here i watch all his videos like 1000+ times because they are soooooo good and really show the excitement and happiness that i would experience with such a car!
subaruwrxfan your welcome bro - keep up the good work and enjoy your new mustang - i wish you would get an s2000 or another brz but hey you made up your mind already!
I have a 2000 S2000 and now a 2011 Civic Si 4 Door. Both are not FAST cars, but both give you that sensation you are going fast. Call me a Honda nut but having high-revving little four-bangers is what fun on the street is all about. If I was all-out speed I'll just ride a motorcycle.
Lmao. I've owned my 02 s2000 for years, I had no idea about that extra compartment on top of the middle compartment @ 5:01. Jeez, this doubles my compartment space. Incredible!
Andrew L BRZs are slow and unreliable. Ask anyone who has one, or any new Subaru. Garbage. An S2000 is a Honda, which will last hundreds of thousands of miles with minimal problems
Deeken Wheeler Unfortunately yeah.. same goes for the new WRX/WRX STi (I know a few people who have the newer models, nothing but trouble even at low miles). I think the older Subies are more reliable but that's just based on what I'm hearing from Subaru owners
On a brighter note man. You are one of the better test drivers Ive seen. Your love and passion for these cars come through very transparent in your words. And it makes me want it as much as you... Jeremy Clarkson, move over lol.
And it's practical-ish. With that depression in the trunk and those interior compartments I could move all the necessities I need in my Corolla S, especially if I remove the spare tire. A miata can't do that.
omglawton You msy be correct, I couldn't edit my other response. I don't know and didn't check what a 1990 Miata costs in comparison to say a 2000 S2000
ohd00bley omglawton The s2000 I am thinking about cost 35k new compared to 25k of a 3rd gen. But what he meant ohd00bley is that you can buy a 1st gen for like 2k. I will pay 13-14k so you could have 3 or 4 miatas easy.
Get an Ap1. You can bore the block to 2.2 liters add some high compression forge piston and rods. Then you have the torque and still have the 9000 rpm glory. Get some cams while you are at it.
I've had my AP1 for just about 5 years. Drove it from NY to SoCal...perfect car for this part of the country. Anytime I consider selling it, I put the top down and I'm completely won over again. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it.
For what I need, I love it! Im 30, 5' 6" so I dont need much room, and I have no kids so the backseats are just rarely used for friends. Trunk is way bigger than the S and it's smoother and quieter so I really am happy with it. And the styling I like a lot more than the C class. Although I did buy it just to hold me over until the Model 3 from Tesla is out
subaruwrxfan Safety is over-rated! haha jk but honestly i understand. I had an ap1 for 1 week and i managed to spin it at an intersection... xD fortunately no one was around but i went with the frs instead. Suits me better!
wwshehan Everyone knows Rwd is more fun than Fwd. ;) Lol but if he wasn't in the situation he is right now, he'd be able to mod the Mini and it'd be a more fun car. Mini's sound amazing with an exhaust!
Matt, I just started an account on RUclips to comment on your videos because I was car shopping recently and had to look at some cars that I was shopping for that you reviewed.. I'm SO SO entertained by your reviews. I love all the camera work, how you describe everything about the car, and your reaction when you take the car for a test drive. Thanks for the hardwork on all of your videos. I kept up on your vlogs about your BRZ and Mini. I know that somewhere in the future that you'll find another BRZ in your garage. You really deserve it. I'm glad the Mini makes you happy. I have a huge request and saw that you did a Focus ST review. I really hope you'll do a Fiesta ST. I ended up leaving the Ford dealership with a Ford Fiesta ST and I love it! I really want to hear your impressions on it.. seeing as you've never done that car before. It'd be cool if you can! Thanks Matt!
They became worried about the stupid environment. Honda, even the Earth wants you to continue making sports cars, the other companies can worry about going green.
Yeah it got outdated by 2009, if they revised it to more modern standards then it would have sold much better. Plus people I guess wanted more "prestige" than a Honda for 35-40k
Matt, just found your video. You were cruising in my neighborhood! I just bought my S2000 about nine months ago, and love it. It's a 2002, with just over 26M miles, and immaculate condition.
Love the new intro by the way this channels been improving alot within the past few weeks! Soon as I put money on my card I'll be sure to help you out with a generous donation! :)
You forgot one thing to mention and didn't see anyone mention in the comments below. The f20c engine in the Honda s2000 comes factory with forged internals. Forged springs, rods, pistons, rings. Many people have gotten well over 500hp with a turbo charger and a good clutch. There's one video with 700hp. Stock block. Just turbo, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, tune, brakes. Stock fucking block tho. I'm not a big Honda fan tho lol
Matt I would like to thank you for this review of this ap1 I watched the video a day after you posted it and since then my mind was set to get an s2000, for the past 6 months I was searching for the right one for me, I ended up finding a beautiful 1 owner 2003 s2000 with 30,000 miles original miles on it and I couldn't be happier! Best car I've own thus far! I appreciate all your vids! Thank you!
I am buying my S in a couple of weeks, and this review has me STOKED! Your excitement and joy driving this car says it all. Anyone on the fence about the Honda needs to see this video. Thank you, Matt!
sounds like the s2000 should be your next car :) ...and then maybe pick up and old jeep for the winter lol. i hear these have some wicked oversteer issues
Haha I want something with a back seat and side airbags for a daily driver. Otherwise these are tempting since they're so cheap now. I could definitely afford one.
subaruwrxfan If you can afford it, keep the Mini as a daily driver and buy the S2000 as a pure summer fun car. That way you get the best of both worlds. Also if you only drive the S2000 a few thousand miles each year, it will keep maintenance and insurance costs low. BTW it's also the way I'm doing it with my Trans Am and Jetta Wagon. And thank you for the great and really emotional loaded review!
I live in Colorado at almost 10,000 feet above sea level and all I drive is z3 roadster with good snow tires. 99.99% of the time I have no issues. No need for any stinking suvs or offroads.
you really don't get enough credit, this is a awesome review man, my 5th time watching it.You do a good job keeping the viewer watching, keep up the great work.
Dude, your review was the most engaging reviews i have ever seen. I guess you have talked about all aspects of this legendary car. Great review !! I am seriously thinking of getting one of these babies !!!
NOFATCHICK1 lol they have over 250k miles on both their TLs do you really think that has effected them this far? shit i have on 08 civic si with 123k tranny is smooth so obviously these transmission issues dont affect all of them
I really love your review style because it's completely honest and you don't hold back the emotions of the experience. Watching you drive the car and being giddy like a school girl actually made me appreciate the car and the review more. Good job!
What a great review Matt, you bring up really good points, unlike every other reviewer who keeps repeating the same thing and making the most blurry impressions, you set up the cars characteristics very well
Both are great cars. My 15 Fiesta ST was one of the most fun experiences I've ever had in a car and owning it was a pleasure. Unfortunately it met its match with a deer on a back road, and my next car is going to be an ap2 s2000. You really can't go wrong with either car. If you're scared of not liking the fwd of the ST forget about it because it drives so well you don't even mind. I took it to the mountains and autocross events very often.
I own a 2006 S2000 and a 2014 Fiesta ST. The S2000 will always be my #1, but the Fiesta ST is a very close second. If you need back seats, get the Fiesta...if not, hands down, BUY AN S2000.
If I knew it does anything I could hit "like" button a thousand times for the review and the car. That guy gets sooooo excited and it's so positive and the car is from my dreams.
Am i the only one that was fucking lost when trying to find the lever for the gas tank?!?!?! When i first bought mines i was stuck at the gas station for like an hour and had to google it.
Fantastic review Matt! It sure looks like you're having a blast with the top down and having vtec scream to 9k haha! I just bought the exact same car 2 months ago! I picked up a 2002 Berlina Black Honda S2000. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Such a great car and piece of engineering. My car only has 86,000 miles! and thanks for showing me this car with such high miles. It shows proof of Honda's reliability even on their sports cars. I know that I will still have fun for a long time in my S2K! ;)
This is my dream car and can't wait to buy it asap. I really like ur review and this is the closest one that can show me how this car works, performs and gets the emotion out of a human being. THANK YOU !
Huss Ali Wow haha g35 owner here saying the same thing. I love my G coupes weight balance, handling, driver position, looks, performance, etc but a an s2k, man you feel like you're driving on rails.
I bought an s2000 as a second car and love it for summer drives. Funny though, the s2000 isn't much on paper to look at by today's standards, but when you're actually driving it, the experience is so fun, and is un-quantifiable.
you have no idea how obsessed with the s2k i was when i was a teen. my rich friend got one and i was soooo jealous. my first car i bought was in 2001 and it was a base 2000 integra (new). like a year later, i bought a 2003 6-speed acura cl type s (also new). i couldve bought an s2k for the same money, but trading my integra back into acura to buy another acura was a much better deal, so i did. that was a pretty fly car, but i loved the s2k so much that my girlfriend at the time bought me an s2k shift knob to put in my cl type s. then i bought a 09 370z w/ sport pack in 2008 when they first debuted. just a couple a days ago, i bought a new 2016 nismo 370z (my 1st non-stick shift car!). i think my lust for s2k's has been satiated with my 370z and nismo.
dylan jines I agree it's safe with flip flops, but if you want a great driving shoe try Vibram Five Fingers, they're unusual, but a blast to drive with... I'm guessing more impressive than barefoot.
I love the sound of this car. I used to drive a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT spyder. It had a convertible top, 3.5 L v6 and this review reminded me of it. Great throttle response and she pulled. Very similar car.
i drive barefoot but only if I'm driving serious. Its hard to do good footwork when your wearing basketball shoes or anything other than driving/racing shoes.
Can we all agree that Honda needs to bring back the S2000?
Ivan Pineiro Yes!
Rumors from Honda employees were that the S3000 (same body, V6 dropped in) was basically done and waiting on production light, economy popped.
Fuck yes
www.inautonews.com/honda-s2000-successor-gets-detailed-in-new-report#.VAlIM_ldW3k
It's already been rumored to be in development. It seems like it's going to be a much different car though. Mid-engine, turbo+electric-motors, dual-clutch transmission... We'll see, I guess.
Rx-7/8, Nissan Silvia, S2000, Supra, and such
This is my third time watching this review straight. It's that good.
JoshTC2 Thank you!

+sentdex same thing happened to me man, I was keeping my insurance/registration under the seat until I saw this review haha
Don't feel bad. Took me a year to find mine. Finally found my owner's manual!
Pro tip: watch series at kaldroStream. I've been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Lewis Frank Definitely, been using KaldroStream for since november myself :)
@Lewis Frank yup, have been watching on kaldrostream for since november myself :)
9:33 "I mean it COOKS man!"
+Proto Pikachu lolol i wasnt expecting that too. gotta use that word more often it COOKS!
lol...
Honda PLEASE watch this review. This is what we the people want.
Lemuel Taylor Hell yes❗
HELL YASSSSS!
Damn right
my sentiments exactly!! bring more manuals back and get rid of those boring CVTs lol
do u own a s2000
Today is the day, I am officially an owner of a 2002 silver S2000. Super clean car from Honda.
Congrats dude!
Congrats! I too am now officially the owner of an S2K - a like-new 2003 as of last week. What a joy, what a PRIVILEGE to own and drive one of these!
@@BobC59 how much did you get it for?
@@SIIKAP1 I haven't sold it!
@@BobC59 no I meant how much did you buy it for? And how many miles when you got it
Honda should bring back the s2000 to compete with the brz. It would be cool to see imported manufacturers competing with rwd sportscars!
Todd Rich what if it bites the ear of of the brz like mike tyson?
Andrew L BRZs are slow and unreliable. Ask anyone who has one, or any new Subaru. Garbage. An S2000 is a Honda, which will last hundreds of thousands of miles with minimal problems
Jesse Holiday
what if i bite the ear of the s2000?
Jesse Holiday Are the BRZ's really that unreliable? Strange for Subaru which is known for their reliability
Deeken Wheeler Unfortunately yeah.. same goes for the new WRX/WRX STi (I know a few people who have the newer models, nothing but trouble even at low miles). I think the older Subies are more reliable but that's just based on what I'm hearing from Subaru owners
On a brighter note man. You are one of the better test drivers Ive seen. Your love and passion for these cars come through very transparent in your words. And it makes me want it as much as you... Jeremy Clarkson, move over lol.
I want an S2000 now...it does everything a Miata does, but better.
its a man's miata
And it's practical-ish. With that depression in the trunk and those interior compartments I could move all the necessities I need in my Corolla S, especially if I remove the spare tire.
A miata can't do that.
The s2000 literally cost 5x the amount of a first gen miata. Pretty dumb comparison.
omglawton You msy be correct, I couldn't edit my other response. I don't know and didn't check what a 1990 Miata costs in comparison to say a 2000 S2000
ohd00bley

This video has been a big part of me deciding to buy a S2000. Saving the pennies. Love your vids. Keep it up.
I just got home from class, went on youtube, and watched your video. Now I feel like going back out, top down and going on a drive right now.
s2000 fits you bro, seems like a perfect match.
andrefrbk hondas2kfan
The reaction he has in this video review will never get old lol
Get an Ap1. You can bore the block to 2.2 liters add some high compression forge piston and rods. Then you have the torque and still have the 9000 rpm glory. Get some cams while you are at it.
I've had my AP1 for just about 5 years. Drove it from NY to SoCal...perfect car for this part of the country. Anytime I consider selling it, I put the top down and I'm completely won over again. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it.
If you got.the space keep it. I sold my 300zx and I'm just waiting to get one again
+Rebel Yoot Yeah dude I actually bought a Mercedes CLA since I wrote that but I still kept the S2000 :) not going anywhere
Yes! Hows the CLA? I've heard mixed reviews
For what I need, I love it! Im 30, 5' 6" so I dont need much room, and I have no kids so the backseats are just rarely used for friends. Trunk is way bigger than the S and it's smoother and quieter so I really am happy with it. And the styling I like a lot more than the C class. Although I did buy it just to hold me over until the Model 3 from Tesla is out
Matt you should make a shirt that says "lets see about that power again, shall we"
'
Own a 2004 AP2 and all I can say is once you drive this car nothing else compares. An amazing car and it puts a smile on my face every time.
please honda. please we want another please
I think they have plans for a concept and made the drawings but nothing official yet
I hope they don't, nothing can replace the s2000.
seeing the happiness in this video, makes me wonder why you got the mini. lol but nonetheless, awesome review !
Haha thanks. I like having some kind of back seat in my personal car, along with side airbags. The S2k has neither unfortunately :/
subaruwrxfan no prob man lol, that's understandable. we just wanna see you happy. and in this video, shows what we haven't seen in a long long time.
subaruwrxfan Safety is over-rated! haha jk but honestly i understand. I had an ap1 for 1 week and i managed to spin it at an intersection... xD fortunately no one was around but i went with the frs instead. Suits me better!
wwshehan Everyone knows Rwd is more fun than Fwd. ;) Lol but if he wasn't in the situation he is right now, he'd be able to mod the Mini and it'd be a more fun car. Mini's sound amazing with an exhaust!
subaruwrxfan
I'm pretty sure the s2000 got 5/5 on the side crash tests. Just wondering if you knew that.
close your eyes and its micheal cera doing reviews
Lmao
My buddy let me drive his AP1 and it instantly made me realize why these cars were so popular. It is an absolute blast to drive!
Cool review. I'm getting ready to pick up a one-owner 2002 with 16k miles, silver on black.
Gant B Did you buy it? Any regrets?
Ever since my friend let me drive his Honda S2000 I fell in love with this over enginered marvel of a car. Best automobile I've ever driven.
Nice review Matt. Nice video work. Love that dash!
Best review ever! I own an ap1 and I´m still watching this review over and over. I love it!
he wet his pants when that VTEC hits. hahaha. GREAT review man!
Matt, I just started an account on RUclips to comment on your videos because I was car shopping recently and had to look at some cars that I was shopping for that you reviewed.. I'm SO SO entertained by your reviews. I love all the camera work, how you describe everything about the car, and your reaction when you take the car for a test drive.

Thanks Matt!
Dude! Yes I have been waiting so long to see you do an S2000 review! :D Dude I love you videos so much! Keep up the good work! :)
One of the best reviews for sure!!
Great job Matt!!
you should review the Toyota MR2 Spyder, the one from 2000-2005
Agreed. Also a Corolla XRS (2005-2006).
AirsoftWarfareHD I'd like to! They're pretty rare around here though!
subaruwrxfan Not here in washington state, they go for really cheap too
subaruwrxfan you should do dodge charger srt8 if you can.
Cod Ghost an mazda rx7 would be nice to if you find one.
I love you're enthusiasm while driving. Great review. You make me want to buy a s2000 now.
Dear Honda,
Why did you stop production?
Sincerely, Joe
They became worried about the stupid environment. Honda, even the Earth wants you to continue making sports cars, the other companies can worry about going green.
Honda Pilot, Ridgeline? The s2000 is an econo-box in the general scheme of things.
By 2009, the s2000 was a slow-selling, 10-year old model.
The recession didn't help either.
Nope.
Yeah it got outdated by 2009, if they revised it to more modern standards then it would have sold much better. Plus people I guess wanted more "prestige" than a Honda for 35-40k
I've never seen him so pumped over driving a car before. I'm glad to say it's a Honda he's hype about! 🔰
You don't have to be a honda fan to know how special this car is!
Matt, just found your video. You were cruising in my neighborhood! I just bought my S2000 about nine months ago, and love it. It's a 2002, with just over 26M miles, and immaculate condition.

Thank you! I appreciate that a lot! It helps more than you know!
This review just made me go out for a drive in my S2000, ive had the thing for 5 years and it still puts a smile on my face to this day!
did anyone spot Matt's Mini Cooper behind him before his acceleration lol
You forgot one thing to mention and didn't see anyone mention in the comments below. The f20c engine in the Honda s2000 comes factory with forged internals. Forged springs, rods, pistons, rings. Many people have gotten well over 500hp with a turbo charger and a good clutch.
There's one video with 700hp. Stock block. Just turbo, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, tune, brakes. Stock fucking block tho.
I'm not a big Honda fan tho lol
Matt I would like to thank you for this review of this ap1 I watched the video a day after you posted it and since then my mind was set to get an s2000, for the past 6 months I was searching for the right one for me, I ended up finding a beautiful 1 owner 2003 s2000 with 30,000 miles original miles on it and I couldn't be happier! Best car I've own thus far! I appreciate all your vids! Thank you!
The level of enthusiasm is OVER 9000!!!! Haha get it? cause 9000 R.P.M redline...
"The Si is fun, but its a civic"- my absolute favorite quote by you so far
Have you thought about reviewing an RX-8 if you could get your hands on one? Would be cool to see what you think about that and it's high revs.
SteveOTheMan16 I'd like to if I can find one.
Rob dahm lol
I currently own one, but I live in Australia. If I live in the US i will let him borrow it for the review.
Yea it would be nice to see him review an RX8 and compare it to the BRZ and S2000. :)
No. Just no. The RX8 is a bitch car.
This review was one of the deciding factors for me to buy an S2K, AP1. And I gotta say, I love this car. Thank you!
One of my dream cars.
I am buying my S in a couple of weeks, and this review has me STOKED! Your excitement and joy driving this car says it all. Anyone on the fence about the Honda needs to see this video. Thank you, Matt!
disclaimer: it's not actually bulletproof
Glosama Bin Laden haha, he meant bulletproof, did you by any chance use a tankshell?
i think i've watched this over 10 times. his reaction is awesome. that tells a lot about the s2000
same here, probably 50x by now lol
lmao your face at 9:24 haha It cooks man i mean it COOKS lmao
I've watched most of your reviews to date and I've never seen you as excited as you were in this video.
sounds like the s2000 should be your next car :)
...and then maybe pick up and old jeep for the winter lol. i hear these have some wicked oversteer issues

I live in Colorado at almost 10,000 feet above sea level and all I drive is z3 roadster with good snow tires. 99.99% of the time I have no issues. No need for any stinking suvs or offroads.
StreetCruizer Well I could afford one or the other, but not both right now unfortunately.
That is one of the most beat up s2000 I have seen, and yet still gets good reviews.
is a 2001 with 156k miles for $4000 a good buy?
Michael Bruns yes
Michael Bruns he'll yeah!!
Michael Bruns that is stupid cheap honestly, something must be wrong. Engines+transmission together can go for that price
yeah something isn't right there. Maybe a salvage/rebuilt title.
Michael Bruns look at the car fax
you really don't get enough credit, this is a awesome review man, my 5th time watching it.You do a good job keeping the viewer watching, keep up the great work.
11:00 THIS FOOL AIN'T WEARING ANY SHOES!!
whats wrong with that
Jesse Lung but this fool is running a Honda 2000
Ryan Cowtan lol
Dude, your review was the most engaging reviews i have ever seen. I guess you have talked about all aspects of this legendary car. Great review !! I am seriously thinking of getting one of these babies !!!
love my s2k just picked it up 3 days go 9k rpm all day bout to get off work and get hit in the face by vtec
13:18 dude You had a organism lol great video love It keep them coming!!!
There's acualty not unlimited headroom becasue if your head could be taller then the whole earths atomisphire and you can't breath in space
.........Very true
As an 04 s2000 owner myself, as well as producing videos just like yours, it's clear.. the enjoyment of the S2000 is like no other! :)
Drive safe!
150k....meh....250k on my tl...my buddy has an acura tl with 360k...honda lasts forever lol
Got 180k on my EP3 and healthy as ever. My tranny oil seems to stay clean forever and I keep up the motor oil service so its still smooth
I'm proud to inform you that I'm now officially the third fattest man on the planet. I'm looking for feeders. Are you interested?
Too bad the Tl has transmission issues
NOFATCHICK1 lol they have over 250k miles on both their TLs do you really think that has effected them this far? shit i have on 08 civic si with 123k tranny is smooth so obviously these transmission issues dont affect all of them
I really love your review style because it's completely honest and you don't hold back the emotions of the experience. Watching you drive the car and being giddy like a school girl actually made me appreciate the car and the review more. Good job!
Hey Matt, is there a possibility to do a review on the volvo c30? I think you will have a ton of fun with that car too
Pat Dow I'd like to review one if I find it. I drove one around for a day a long time ago and really liked it though! Just wish they came in manual.
They do have them in a manual! So your wish was granted
MakerOfAwesome the C30 is faster than the BRZ
Pat Dow everything is faster than a brz
One year since you've reviewed my favourite car! Keep up the good work! Cheers from Canada!
I fucking love Hondas
What a great review Matt, you bring up really good points, unlike every other reviewer who keeps repeating the same thing and making the most blurry impressions, you set up the cars characteristics very well
I have to own one of these. Who thinks it still looks better than the new 2016 miata ?
You need to get an s2000, I've never seen you so excited and ballsy in a review!!!!
can I ask an opinion, this or a 15 fiesta st?
Both are great cars. My 15 Fiesta ST was one of the most fun experiences I've ever had in a car and owning it was a pleasure. Unfortunately it met its match with a deer on a back road, and my next car is going to be an ap2 s2000. You really can't go wrong with either car. If you're scared of not liking the fwd of the ST forget about it because it drives so well you don't even mind. I took it to the mountains and autocross events very often.
Bryan Davis thanks for the reply. its more the concern of being able to daily an s2k in a cold place thats only nice in the summer
I own a 2006 S2000 and a 2014 Fiesta ST. The S2000 will always be my #1, but the Fiesta ST is a very close second. If you need back seats, get the Fiesta...if not, hands down, BUY AN S2000.
+Matthew Serra I can agree with this. I did in fact pick up an ap2 a few weeks ago, and have been absolutely loving it.
This video reminded me why I love Matt's videos so much. It makes me want to hop in my car and enjoy a nice ride.
Good review of the S2000!
One of the best drivers cars ever made. I loved my 01 and I miss it every nice day.
Too soon Jr...
Love the energy you bring to your reviews. Also appreciate that you did your homework on the cars you review.
13:12 Matt did traction control just save your life?
The s2000 doesn't have traction control
No traction control in AP1 S2K IIRC
Well got damn... Matt dat skill bro. Well done.
Indeed! Great job Matt!
Jcars6842 So only the 06 got TC, pretty interesting did not know that. Really is a pure drivers car.
You can literally see the VTEC in his face, it's glorious!
Before it's time
If I knew it does anything I could hit "like" button a thousand times for the review and the car. That guy gets sooooo excited and it's so positive and the car is from my dreams.
The S2K I do love em. But I feel they don't love 6ft drivers.
super late but im 6ft 1in and i fit fine with the seat as far back as it goes.
Love your enthusiasm! Keep up the good work! I'm possibly a year away from buying one these.
Now Please review a Honda Prelude 1997-2001
Love your enthusiasm! I've been wanting to get an S2000 for years now. Hoping to be able to finally get one in a few months. Can't wait.
Am i the only one that was fucking lost when trying to find the lever for the gas tank?!?!?! When i first bought mines i was stuck at the gas station for like an hour and had to google it.
LMFAO
It took you an hour to Google it?
i was searching the car for like a good 15 minutes before eventually giving up and googling it. I was over exaggerating on my original post.
And where was it?
itsToon lol when I got my Miata it took me awhile to figure out the trunk and gas cap release where in the center console so I feel you
Your best review yet, loved this!
Now do an AP2 review :)
Fantastic review Matt! It sure looks like you're having a blast with the top down and having vtec scream to 9k haha! I just bought the exact same car 2 months ago! I picked up a 2002 Berlina Black Honda S2000. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Such a great car and piece of engineering. My car only has 86,000 miles! and thanks for showing me this car with such high miles. It shows proof of Honda's reliability even on their sports cars. I know that I will still have fun for a long time in my S2K! ;)
Review an e36 m3!
Agreed
Do they even still run?
This is my dream car and can't wait to buy it asap. I really like ur review and this is the closest one that can show me how this car works, performs and gets the emotion out of a human being. THANK YOU !
Fuck... Why didn't I get one of these?
same Lol
Huss Ali Its basically the only convertible I would own =O
I would trade my g35 for one that's the only car I would let it go for but I live in snow town so I am really screwed :(
Huss Ali Wow haha g35 owner here saying the same thing. I love my G coupes weight balance, handling, driver position, looks, performance, etc but a an s2k, man you feel like you're driving on rails.
If I ever more somewhere else(warmer) first thing Is to trade my g35 for a s2000...I drove a couple of them, they are amazing.
I bought an s2000 as a second car and love it for summer drives. Funny though, the s2000 isn't much on paper to look at by today's standards, but when you're actually driving it, the experience is so fun, and is un-quantifiable.
nothing that can match an open air feeling of a convertible? motorcycles my friend, motorcycles
you have no idea how obsessed with the s2k i was when i was a teen. my rich friend got one and i was soooo jealous. my first car i bought was in 2001 and it was a base 2000 integra (new). like a year later, i bought a 2003 6-speed acura cl type s (also new). i couldve bought an s2k for the same money, but trading my integra back into acura to buy another acura was a much better deal, so i did. that was a pretty fly car, but i loved the s2k so much that my girlfriend at the time bought me an s2k shift knob to put in my cl type s. then i bought a 09 370z w/ sport pack in 2008 when they first debuted. just a couple a days ago, i bought a new 2016 nismo 370z (my 1st non-stick shift car!). i think my lust for s2k's has been satiated with my 370z and nismo.
I really want this car but it is too overpriced here. It cost almost as much as a brand new 86 wtf.
Neatknit its gonna keep going up so you should get it! I'm thinking about getting one !
where abouts do you live? sounds like australia
But in 5 years it'll be worth way more than an 86
Good lord you sell this car so well. Currently looking at options for a new vehicle and the S2000 is now pretty high up there on the list.
Huh I guess I owe an apology to all the Honda fan boys.
There's the VTEC....6k ..... AAAAALLLL THE WAAAAAYYYY UPPP TO NINE!!!!! 13:17 WHHOOOO!!!!
That feel... that's what i like about Honda.
not safe to drive with flip flops on
not true at all
RetiefGoosen
Really? ever try with 3 pedals?
all summer long
pedrof830 same here
dylan jines I agree it's safe with flip flops, but if you want a great driving shoe try Vibram Five Fingers, they're unusual, but a blast to drive with... I'm guessing more impressive than barefoot.
I love the sound of this car. I used to drive a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT spyder. It had a convertible top, 3.5 L v6 and this review reminded me of it. Great throttle response and she pulled. Very similar car.
11:01 is my nigga driving this thing barefoot?
+Too Soon Junior driving hard with no shoes feels great, theres a reason racing shoes are super thin
i drive barefoot but only if I'm driving serious. Its hard to do good footwork when your wearing basketball shoes or anything other than driving/racing shoes.
...best of both worlds, if they still make 'em: Vibram Five Fingers, IMO the best driving shoes ever.
