2009 Honda S2000 Features Review

May 4, 2009

FEATURES | 10 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

Full power accessories, air-conditioning and a CD player

Production of the 2009 S2000 CR will be limited to 1500 units, but those lucky enough to get one will join an exclusive club
Motor Trend

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

The 2009 Honda S2000 is one of few mass-produced cars without factory options. On the bright side, this makes shopping easier, and odds are you won’t miss much.

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 2009 Honda S2000: “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. 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.

Amazingly, the S2000 CR removes some of the limited features found on the standard 2009 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.”

TheCarConnection.com notes a few options—including XM Satellite Radio—that can be installed at the dealership.

Conclusion

The standard features found on the 2009 Honda S2000 should be enough to leave most buyers satisfied.

Other Choices:

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 have great handling, but their cargo space is extremely limited as in the S2000. The Mazda Miata is also a basic, elemental sportscar with a four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission; a new retractable-hardtop version offers all-season driving for its fans. Both the Mazda Miata and the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky offer better interior room, as well as a smoother ride than the Honda S2000.
