Drove a Honda S2000

Post by MrMazda92 »

I was moderately impressed with the car to be honest.

They're fast, but I wasn't impressed until about 3,500 RPMs... Didn't take it over 6k due to the owner being in the car with me.

The steering wheel was pretty small, and I believe that had a lot to do with my negative opinion on the handling of the car. It handled well enough once you got into a curve, but just turning in intersections felt sluggish, almost like the car responded to the turn a 1/2 second slower than I did.

All in all though, I can now say that there's at least one Honda product I won't sneer at again.

100x better if you get an early model with the proper redline or a CR edition, and they come with a whole lot more room in cabin. Electric powersteering is weird though :freak:
