2008 Honda S2000 Review

The 2008 Honda S2000 gets a new model aimed at club racers. The S2000 CR has a removable hard top, track-ready suspension tuning, and added body cladding. Other S2000 models have a power soft top and heated glass rear window. All S2000s have a 237-hp 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine and 6-speed manual transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, and an antiskid system. Leather upholstery is standard on the base convertible.

Competition

Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. The Sporty/Performance Car class consists of two-seat roadsters, 4-cylinder hatchbacks, and V8 muscle cars. Regardless of configuration, all have an emphasis on affordable performance.

Our Best Buys include the Mazda MX-5 and Scion tC. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Mustang and Mini Cooper. New this year is the Mini Cooper Clubman.

News

It appears the S2000 will continue as is until Honda redesigns it or offers something else. When might that be? Beats us, as Honda is famously good at keeping secrets. But the seven-year-old design still seems pretty fresh, so we'd guess Honda won't act until sales start tapering off.
