    S2000!!!! 20 years later, the Z3s, Miatas, and Boxters of the early 2000's look quite aged. The simple S2000 design still looks great!

      Wow, good for you! As years go by, they will likely become harder and harder to find, but the good news is so many people bought them to baby and use only in good weather, so I think there are still a good number of well-preserved ones. I just got one and have been chatting with two people who did the same recently. Prices going up, but still around and worth every penny!

    you forgot to mention that the s2000 was assembled exclusively in by the dedicated employees at only one location at the Takanezawa factory in Tochigi prefecture, Japan. The s2000, like the ITR had hand polished cylinder walls and 50/50 weight distribution due to its longitudinal engine. Whats even more crazy is that Honda knowingly lost money on every s2000 that they sold but they did it purely for the passion of engineering and delivering out a true drivers car. In such an industrialized era, I doubt we will see an s2000 successor with such attention to detail. The s2000 will remain as Honda's icon car.

      okay... - 'til 2003 they were produced at Takanezawa; 2004 and after they were assembled at the Suzuka plant. You're both correct.* I have a 2002, owned since January of the same year. I've got less than 70k and as far as I know mechanically perfect, nary a problem (excepting window regulator in first year).

      +MrLighteningjoe Well in terms of pure speed the Prelude is definitely faster thats for sure. But the CRX started off as a spin off from the civic with a mid-engine front wheel drive which was quite different, and it handles amazingly especially with its super light weight. Then we got the CRX Del Sol afterwards which was pretty much Honda's MX-5. I actually quite like the Prelude, but i just dont think there's too much to go off unlike the Integra and Civic which had quite a legacy. It kinda remained the same for the most part till it got killed off by the Accord coupe which was unfortunate. Really wish they made another prelude, it was a great car nonetheless.

    That was a excellent video. I got to ride in one of those 2004 models at night on a back twisties road. I thought nothing of it because it was a "Honda" When that V-tech kicked in it felt and sounded like a small V-8. The driver tore throw the 45 mph turns at just over 100 mph!!! If he lost it we would go off the road and fly off a 3 foot ditch into a farmers muddied filed, Probably catapulted the S-2000 into flips and rolls of death and mayhem . When we got to a stop sign that was a three way Y, the drive started to do donuts. At that time in our lives there was never anyone on these back woods roads at that time of the night. He must have don at lest 14 revolutions until getting it straightened out and launching back through the twisites like a laser guided missile and up the hill back to where we started.
    I got out and my legs were shacking, and I was in love. I never looked at Honda again as a economy car company. My other friend had a 1998 Honda Civic with type R and Acura Intrega Type R which he drove very conservatively. So I was no stranger to the company, just never knew the history of them and the power they had until the S-2000.
    This video brought back a flood of good memories. Thanks man. keep up the great work.
