It’s been ten years since Honda released the S2000 to celebrate its golden anniversary, but since Autoblog’s inception, we have somehow never managed to publish a proper review of the high-revving roadster. With the final S2000 having rolled off the line on August 7, we figured it was time to make amends and get some serious seat time in one of the few pure sports cars left in existence.
To create a roadster, you’ve got to have the proper ingredients. It has to have two seats and a retractable fabric roof, but above all else, it’s got to be light and agile. The S2000 qualifies on all counts. While it’s not as minimalist as a Lotus Elise (or even a Dodge Viper), the S2000’s cabin is devoid of over-the-top luxury or techno-wizardry. There’s no navigation system, Bluetooth or iPod connector, and there certainly isn’t anything on the order of an iDrive or MMI controller. No need – there isn’t much to control.
