WAYNE’S TAKE
Honda S2000: A phenomenal, high-revving roadster that was practically unheard of until a few years go. Tight fit inside. Prized as a tuner car, so many have been modified and some original parts are getting hard to find. Engines can
be fragile if not maintained well. Inadequate rust protection
makes this an attention area.
AReliable in stock form provided regular maintenance
ÅLimited number of experienced service outlets; some parts, especially sheet metal, costly
ANXIETY INDEX: MEDIUM
