The Honda S2000 Is Still a Fantastic Old-School Sports Car

CHECK OUT THIS 2000 HONDA S2000 ON CARS & BIDS!

This is a 2000 Honda S2000. This AP1 S2000 is the original version of one of the most iconic roadsters from the modern era. When this car first came out, its powertrain was criticized for being too peaky, but all these years later that's just one of this cars many charms. We are thrilled to be offering this S2000 for sale on CARS & BIDS!! Today I'm reviewing this Honda S2000, and I'll show you all the many quirks and features. I'll also get behind the wheel and review the driving experience.

Doug is the type of guy to review an S2000 4 times

[aaronvanmorris]

I waited 10 years to own this car. Fell in love with it as soon as I got my drivers license and began saving for one ever since I got my first job. It always fellt to second priority for me as the money I saved had to be spent on college, then a house down payment, then an engagement ring, etc. Finally, after 10 long years of dreaming and putting life first, I finally got my S2000 three weeks ago. It's everything I've dreamt of and more and I'm beyond thankful to own one. If you're an enthusiast and ever get the chance to drive one, please do it. You'll love every minute of it!

My dad bought a 2004 Honda S2000 brand new and still has it. It's one year older than me and that car is my childhood. It only has 22k miles on it. Love that car!

[sdlausen]

Fun fact - the s2000 ap1 gauge cluster is a replica and homage to Ayrton Senna's F1 McClaren MP4 race car.

[blakebarnes]

had my 2000 s2000 for 8 years. daily drove it through college, few track days, when my now daily driver is on jackstands it is my back up. i've put 80k miles on it and it's at 144k miles now. It is so rare that i have issues, it picks up attention here and there, fun to drive. last year i had an 18 wheeler hit my on the interstate and push me for roughly a mile and the sucker took it like a champ (i got lucky) and i have the car back fixed in my possession again. My girlfriend who has little interest in cars loves the car aswell. Refused to let me sell it to use it as a down payment for a house. would recommend anybody to buy one of them if you ever have the opportunity to pick one up

Babe wake up Doug dropped part 4 of his S2000 series

[chrissellshomes]

When I bought my AP2 used, I asked about the original window sticker as well as manuals, etc. and was told by the owner that he had no idea where they were. I saw a different review on the car last year and they mentioned the hidden storage compartment which I had no idea even existed. I run out to my garage and open the lid and bingo!!! All of the original manuals, storage pouch and window sticker safe and sound. Bonus!! 😀

You know a car is THAT good when it's been reviewed by the same person for FOUR times. What. A. Car. Bravo, Honda, bravo.

[BigOrangeVids]

I was at a Honda dealership talking to a rep and we were talking about how nice the new civic was before it had officially came out but I mentioned if Honda came out with a new S2000 I would choose that instantly and the excitement in this guy's voice when he said he would trade in his current for a new S2000 was unreal. This car is truly loved and there will always be people who see this car for what it truly is, perfection.

Very surreal to see Doug reviewing my childhood dream car in the same parking lot where I learned to ride a motorcycle. lol

[mattpierson]

for all you s2000 owners! when you drop the top... after unlatching, ALWAYS push straight up on the top, @8:24 youlll see the roof snap back, and thats the exact spot where these all rip! by pushing up on the roof while its going back, you eliminate the stress on the fabric of the top.

[kgpngkc]

around 2 years ago from now Doug reviewed the Honda Beat calling it a baby S2000 and now here it is all grown up 😭.

[GianniSalamiPastrami]

To argue Doug’s last point, I saw a bone stock clean Black one last week and it made my head turn. It’s definitely an if you know you know kind of car, but man that’s what makes it special. A special car.

[nasky]

One of those ripped past me on the road on monday and I still feel happy about that

[Skendybendie]

Just bought my second S2000 and I’ve driven over 20 different S2000s varying from Turbo to stock to supercharged or even fully built track cars and I’ve loved every single one of them

[adamthompson]

And the prices were starting to become relatively reasonable too

[danieldebono]

The s2000 actually came out in 1999. My mate had one.

I had a 2001 model AP1 this in this exact spec (red with black interior).

[jerickbesana]

13:00 "who really wants to drive it around at redline all the time in town"

Me. I want to. I want this car

[PaulMillz]

I had a 2005 ap2 white on tan interior.. stolen but in process of buying a new one.. Lets goo!!!

[donkramer]

I owned a s2000 for 15 years, regret selling it everyday. I actually owned two, a V8 swapped one and a highly modified stock engine one, I preferred the stockish one overall, best driving experience I have ever had to this day. I’m currently looking for another one.
