2001 Honda S2000 consumer reviews

After many years of wondering what was so special about this vehicle, I decided to take the plunge and get one for myself. They are not cheap for good clean models. I went with the 2nd generation the AP2 as it’s referred to. Got in the Rio yellow Pearl. Well I can say I finally get it. The driving experience is pure joy the ride comfort is very very acceptable. The turning Ability is precision and I just love hearing that little high revving four-cylinder engine wind up. Did I mention It’s also a convertible.. I’m not disappointed at all that it doesn’t have all the modern convenience of the newer vehicles. It actually makes the drive that much more enjoyable. No wonder it’s held its value so well.

Am 6' tall and is tricky getting in and out of but have had my S2000 car for almost 15 years now and i would not trade it in for a Ferrari xxx. Absolutely no issues except oil changes an occasional accessory part, starter, coil, battery etc. No major work. Bought it for $15,000 turned down $35,000 2 weeks ago because it is AP1 2001 and selling price is still screaming higher

Drive this car if you are a driving enthusiast. Drive this car if you are a performance purist. The S was built for a single purpose: The sheer joy of spirited, performance driving. One can only drive it to understand truly all that's been written about this machine. It's all true. Two things I know for certain about the S: The car has limits that I am simply not good enough to reach. Secondly, I've parted with a whole lot of cars, but this one stays with me forever. I initially thought "my number" was $30K - I'd sell for $30K. Not anymore. I wouldn't part with my 2001 Indy/Spa Yellow S with 21,672 miles for any amount of money, ever. I love to drive and am pretty good at it and this is a driver's car if there ever was one to hold that title. Again, drive an S and you'll know. BUT, before you drive one, make sure you know how you will pay for it...as you will want to buy one. This is a race car when in the hands of someone who knows how to push a car like this. It is NOT for the novice driver. Take your mind off what you are doing and what you are driving and things can go sideways in a flash, yet this is exactly what makes this such a phenomenal performance machine. And know this: at 6,000 RPM, the car becomes a wide open thrill. Just be ready and if you are, the pure enjoyment is simply unmatched. All Hail the S...

Great car, great looking, fun to drive and plenty of power with great gas millage...I have bought many new cars and this one is among the top purchases....it has been awesome

This car is ridiculously fun to drive. The transmission has been hailed as the best stock transmission ever. This is my second one and I may buy a third when my finances improve. Only takes one test drive! Try one.

An amazing driving machine. One of a kind. Truly, truly a driver's car. I've yet to push this car to cornering/handling limits, as I am frankly not good enough yet with this car and I've logged almost 4,600 enthusiastically spirited miles since I acquired in July of 2018. A sports car built to be only a sports car by a company that builds nothing but quality and reliable automobiles. Mine is unmolested, and as indicated, performs at a level that pushes MY limits direct from the factory. Amazing. There are other sports cars, sure, but this car was designed for the driver, the one who craves the twists and turns and corners, and who desires to feel the essence of spirited driving. I can't tell which is the best aspect of this dream car: The 240 HP 2.0, the 6-speed box, the stiff and sticky suspension tuning, or the stopping prowess. It really is hard to describe the driving experience. One must drive an S to "get it". Just make sure you've got the money plan in place before you do. And I've owned and driven my share of "sports" cars. I will never part with this car and family has been instructed of the same.

If you’re in the market for a affordable roadster/sports car, strongly consider looking for an S2000 with low miles and good shape and you’ll likely be more satisfied with it than even the highest level of trim on the newest MX-5, if your priorities are performance and driving experience. I’m 6’0 and 200 pounds and it’s a little tight getting in and out but it’s a comfortable drive and my knees don’t hit the dash or the steering wheel. There’s no telescoping steering wheel which is bizarre considering this was available in the early 90s for many cars. It’s admittedly a small car, which is great if that’s what you want, but for most people it wouldn’t be the greatest commuter or traveling car. But if you’re looking for an S2000 then that probably doesn’t matter to you. Low mile S2000s are at a good price right now and I’d say it’s a good time to start looking before they start becoming less common. Keep in mind there are no cupholders, limited tech, and limited storage space, but again, I doubt anyone looking for an S2000 is worried about these things. Great little car for the price, just fast enough to be an absolute joy to drive, and an eye-catcher for sure.

A great convertible sports car that I bought new in November 2000 and still love dearly. Great for around town and drives in the country, but not so great for long-distance tripping.

The perfect weekend car, so much fun to drive with a 9000 redline. The car is perfectly balance for road. The s2000 was ahead of its times and still was of the nicest convertible models of all time.

I think the S2K is awesome. I wanted one in 2002 and I still want one today. sleek and quik. very responsive engine...revvss high and a lot
