A chunky and swift sports vehicle, S2000 is another Honda which engenders a significant level of owner loyalty. Nice detail touches range from the Aston-style red starter button, along with a hood that stows or raises in six seconds.

Honda has drawn its considerable abilities at engine building to supply the car with an exciting power unit; the red lines are about the high side of 8000rpm, so when allied to some six speed manual gearbox and also the car’s nimble and responsive chassis the end result is tremendous driver appeal.

The looks from the car are solid and distinctive, and owe much more towards the European tradition rather than the typical Japanese approach to styling.
