When did Honda S2000 come out in car and driver?
From the August 1999 issue of Car and Driver. Now we’re going to see just how faithful the so-called faithful are. When it comes to sports cars, auto enthusiasts, as a credo, always want more. More power, more revs, more handling, more fun. Honda, it seems, has been listening, and is about to offer just that.
What kind of suspension does a Honda S2000 have?
It has the stuff sports-car fantasies are made of: a front-engine, rear-drive layout; a six-speed, close-ratio manual transmission; an unequal-length control-arm suspension all around; disc brakes; and supportive, firm bucket seats—in a package that weighs less than 2800 pounds.
Is it necessary to add VSA to Honda S2000?
Adding VSA stability control is a sensible move but slightly unnecessary bearing in mind the Honda’s excellent handling. Unless you’re driving it like a loon, the S2000 remains such a capable chassis, the £300 for VSA seems like a waste of money. And no amount of styling tweaks can address the S2000’s basic weaknesses.
What kind of engine does a Honda S2000 have?
Where contemporary sports cars had six-cylinder engines, Honda’s engineers believed a compact but powerful four-cylinder motor was vital to creating an agile sports car. At the heart of the S2000 was a 2-litre, four cylinder VTEC engine that could rev to 9,000rpm.
Is the Honda S2000 Loud on the highway?
Yes, the car is loud on the highway due to the wind noise and the fact that it sits at 4,000 rpm when cruising normally, but I got used to it and I even bought a hardtop. Also, since I bought a 2008 model, the suspension was a little softer than the earlier S2000s as Honda refined the car to be more daily drivable as the production years went on.
When was the last edition of the Honda S2000?
We flew out to Spain to test the last limited Edition 100 car, built in 2009 and featuring revised suspension, to see if the S2000 recipe finally came good. What was so different about the S2000?
How did my Nissan Sentra die while driving?
My 2004 Nissan Sentra one day decided that, after five minutes of idling, it would just die, and it would start up again, and then die. This wore down the battery, so I got it jumped and tried to drive it to a repair shop… but it died while I was driving it, so I got it towed to the shop.
