VTEC Finally Kicks In! Driving My Honda S2000

2002 Honda S2000 Review - Driving My Honda S2000

Driving my Honda S2000 on a nice mountain road to experience the 9,000 RPM F20C in its full glory, VTEC and all. The engine is a 2.0L naturally aspirated I4 producing 240 HP and 153 lb-ft of torque. Driving the S2000 is a mechanically satisfying experience that's unique to this vehicle. Everything is very short in precise: the throttle, brakes, steering, and shifting. The 6-speed close ratio manual makes downshifting very simple, and upshifts are smooth and fast.

The lightweight, RWD-roadster is an incredibly fun formula, and the Honda S2000 nails it in it's own unique way.

Your smile at 11:13 is why S2000 owners are S2000 owners.

We appreciate how safe of a driver you are and considering cyclists. Thank you for being responsible.

I absolutely LOVE my 2005 AP2 S2000. I agree with everything you said, in fact, I think you described the S200 experience better than any other video that I've seen.

Video is almost at 6, 000 likes... VTec is coming soon

Great video Jason, it's awesome to see you having a blast in it!

As a car enthusiast I agree that some of the newer cars feel more sporty and are much better than the older cars yet there is something to be said about the mechanical feel older cars have, and the human input needed to drive them fast and in control.

I really like your reviews. You are talking about the things which magazines and other car reporters simply don't talk, but are interesting (at least to me). Also, your reviews sound and look a lot more honest, than reviews from usual car journalist. Great job, please continue to review cars, of course, alongside with engineering stuff :)

I'm very happy to see someone else who understands the simple joy in rowing a very mechanical-feeling manual shifter. And the way you described the throttle is like every CRX I've ever owned. Glad to see you're enjoying the car.

I remember being in college and this car was new. I used to sit on the computer and just dream of driving this car.

[rudyyeung]

"Shifting the gear is almost like flipping a light switch.... very very mechanically satisfied." I could not agree with you anymore than that.

[jaydy]

Ha, I can tell you're having fun with your S2000! I always like your videos (very informative and entertaining) and it's nice to see you having a good time with your S2000.
I drove one just one time, and it's an absolute blast. Classic simple roadster, finely honed mechanics, great driving position, fantastic chassis and revving the nuts off the engine is super satisfying.

I gotta say man, I'm so jealous/happy you got yourself the S2K. I've been watching your videos for a long time now and your content has always been awesome. I've learned so much from just watching your videos. You're awesome dude. I just got a new job that'll be paying me a lot more, and I want my first big purchase to be a S2K just like you! Keep up the good work, my friend.

I'm not saying this is a $150 000 supercar, I'm just saying that its better than it

Excellent review of the S2000 driving dynamics. I totally agree with what Igor Horvat said; you talk about things that no one else talks about, and those things being stuff that actually matters! That's what makes your reviews so unique and interesting to watch. Keep 'em coming man.

[JimV]

When you said "winter is coming" all I could think about was Game of Thrones. LOL

[GreenFoodBad]

I bet a modern Honda S2000 would be a beast. Now that Honda is getting their turbo game going.

[johnssk]

The s2000 may not be that fast, but it's not easy to find something that matches the driving enjoyment it gives you!

[JHMBB]

Haha the smile on your face while driving this...I've wanted an S2000 for roughly 8 years now, I'm hoping that I can make it happen soon.

[Jackisaboss]

I drive an '07 Civic Si, and while they're two totally different cars I can see a lot of the things that made the S2000 great in the Si at maybe 7 or 8 tenths. A high revving naturally aspirated four cylinder, a super slick transmission and really nice steering. That's why we loved Hondas
