Honda S2000 Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Honda S2000 GT 2006

If, two years ago, you had asked me what my best ever purchase was I would have waxed lyrical about my superb espresso machine. The delicious blends, the excellent crema, the wonderful aromas but most importantly, its magnificent ability to wake me up in the morning. However, two years ago I made what is now the best purchase of my life; forget caffeine, all you need to wake yourself up in the morning is a Honda S2000! The S2000 looks sleek, sexy and sophisticated and that is because it is. The feeling as you slip into the cockpit is of a snug rocket ship, which is in fact, what it is. The acceleration is electric and as you zoom past 6000 rpm and the VTEC kicks in, the feeling is like being shot in the groin with a taser, if that is a brilliant feeling? The S2000 is responsive and exhilarating in every one of its gears and feels as though you are glued to the road at all times. There is hardly any roll in the corners and at every point it feels composed and secure. I have really pushed the boundaries in this car and I have never been disappointed. As for the practicality, one has to remember it is a sports car; lets face it, it won’t be much help when you are moving house. Also, if you are planning to go on holiday, it had better be to a naturist retreat where you won’t require clothes, because any more than a small case will be a struggle. But before I make it sound like the boot space is non-existent, golf fans, you will be pleased to hear that your clubs will fit! If I were to leave you with one thought it would be this: I still smile when I drive it, I still stare at it as I walk to and from it in the carpark, and I still miss it when I am not driving it. As I said, the S2000 is the best purchase of my life.
