2008 Honda S2000 Features Review

November 5, 2008

FEATURES | 8 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

What you see is what you get. There are no factory options for the S2000
Kelley Blue Book

Production of the 2008 S2000 CR will be limited to 1500 units, but those lucky enough to get one will join an exclusive club
Motor Trend

Full power accessories, air-conditioning and a CD player
Edmunds

The 2008 Honda S2000 is one of the very few cars on the road today with no available factory options. Fortunately, the standard features found on the 2008 Honda S2000 should be enough to leave most buyers satisfied.

The standard features list on the Honda S2000 may not be lengthy (there’s only so much you can fit inside such a small car), but what it lacks in quantity, it makes up for with quality and usefulness. One of the more talked-about features on the S2000 Honda in reviews read by TheCarConnection.com is the pair of “headrest speakers” that Kelley Blue Book says “are the only way to really hear your music when both the top and the accelerator pedal are down” in the Honda S2000. Edmunds lists some of the other standard features on the 2008 Honda S2000 as “17-inch alloy wheels, xenon HID headlights…full power accessories, air-conditioning and a CD player.” ConsumerGuide reports that “cruise control” and “remote keyless entry” are also included among the Honda S2000’s features.

While there are no additional features available on the S2000 Honda, the S2000 CR does remove some of the features found on the standard Honda S2000. Motor Trend says that the “radio and air conditioning are deleted” on the Honda S2000 CR, though “they can be put back in as an option” at no extra charge. Without those amenities, Motor Trend says, the weight-conscious Honda S2000 CR “weighs 99 pounds less than a regular S2000.”

Conclusion

The lack of options makes shopping easier, and odds are you won’t miss much on the 2008 Honda S2000.

Other Choices:

The Mazda Miata is also a basic, elemental sports car with a four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission; a new retractable-hardtop version offers all-season driving for its fans. The Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky are fraternal twins from General Motors; they come with less-refined four-cylinder engines, including optional turbocharged models, and they also have great handling, but their cargo space is extremely limited as in the S2000. Both the Mazda Miata and the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky offer better interior room and a suppler ride than the Honda S2000.

    Oh my frik'n gosh!

    The fact that Honda even has the manparts to try and sell this old turd has me convinced that GM definitely has a bright future building cars. After looking and driving the Solstice, I tear my shirt of Honda. C'mon review guys! How much is "you know who" really paying you to say anything good about this "boat anchor"? Words like firm, stiff, road worthy? Do you really think we readers are that stupid? "Print will live only when it stays true." I'll give you a Benjamin if you even know where that quote came from you frik'n hacks.
