2008 Honda S2000 Review

The 2008 Honda S2000 is a milestone in that maker's lineup. The sports car has all of the streamlined, aerodynamic design, akin to the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder, that a buyer could ever want. The performance is unbeatable for the price, and the car is simply "cool." Honda has created a lightweight, super fast, incredibly stylish sports car. They have accomplished the dreams of many makers.

Even though the S2000 only has a 2.2L 4-cylinder engine, it produces a whopping 237 horsepower. The 6-speed manual transmission gives drivers the ability to control each and every gearshift, which means higher speeds in faster time. The double wishbone suspension brings to mind agile racecars. Also, for those into street racing, the Honda S2000 does not redline until 8000rpm.

The fuel capacity is 13.2 gallons. With an estimated fuel economy of 18 city MPG and 25 highway MPG, this little racecar ranks pretty high in sports car gas mileage. However, buyers may be turned off a bit by the required premium gasoline. Inside, Honda left no stone unturned and created a pureblood racecar. Two-toned bucket seats with a storage console between create an environment meant for street racing. On the exterior chiseled features and a raised rear end give it a presence like no other. It is hard to keep your eyes off such an attractive vehicle. Available with a rear spoiler, the S2000 looks like it is ready to take flight and cruise past jets with ease.

Ultimately, if a buyer is looking for an affordable sports car, a car where he or she gets more bang for the buck, the 2008 Honda S2000 is it. With the S2000, Honda has mastered the art of producing a fine automobile with an even better price. With a base MSRP of $34,500, the S2000 is an excellent alternative for those with Porsche tastes, but not the dough to back it up. If a buyer is looking to go green, the Honda S2000 has been awarded a "low emission vehicle" rating from the California Air Resources Board.
