If you think I'm
crazy, read this enthusiastic review: "The Honda S2000 is a marriage. It starts like this. One
day, you lay eyes on her, a figure strong and sleek, you find yourself
in a crush so you buck up your courage, lay down your sensibility, and
decide to ask her out. Of course she accepts, your credit is worthy. The
first date is at a public place (picture a dealership), she holds you
tight when you sit in her, you grip her wheel, engage her clutch, click
her transmission through the gates as you transcend to a dream where her
"Engine Start" button begs for the touch of your left hand. You roll the
dice and ask for a second meeting - more private this time, more
engaging.
You take her for a drive -
ahhh but she's different than she looks, she's better, and you like it.
Your relationship is picking up steam now, as you round third base you
brave 6000 rpms, the VTEC improves her breathing, her tuned twin-pipe
voice sings to you the siren's song. You cannot help it, just as the
digital tach arches into her 9000-rpm peak you release a scream – "I
love you." The ball just cleared the fences and you're headed for home
now as you ask her to marry you. The best part? Just like a marriage,
the more you practice the better it gets, and as long as you pick the
right girl for you, the relationship only gets better with age."

"Some around here call the S2000 the best Honda
ever. Whether you agree or not, most at least believe the little roadster
has already carved out a chapter for itself in the annals of future
classic car-dom. And its done so in less than three years on the market.
How much longer Honda churns out these gems we can't say; how much longer
doesn't really matter. What matters is that so long as there are S2000s to
fling like go-karts through city parks and down mountain roads, so long as
that sweet little 2.0-liter keeps spinning out a mind-boggling normally
aspirated 120 horsepower per liter, or so long as you can lie back, close
your eyes and feel the snick-snick of the billet shifter in your grip,
then the S2000--because it existed at all--is legendary already."
