#Honda #S2000 #Review - Авто та транспорт
This is only s2000 review I have ever seen that went deep into the heart of the design, mechanics, and Honda’s mindset at the time. Along with the NSX, the s2000 is the pinnacle of Honda’s automotive expression and spirit. Thank you Uehara-san!
Yes! Arigato gozaimasu Uehara-san ❤️
Yeah this guy is really serious about his work and it really shows.
Checkout the s2k review from SavageGeese
if youve owned a s2k its like hearing one of your fave stories being retold as a bed time story.
@@grandmaster-grouch Every time :)
The S2000 is still one of the best sports cars ever made and it still looks so damn good to this day
This is a special car by Honda a rare moment
if im not careful and if our host keeps feeding me s2k videos i may end up pulling the trigger on a 25k CR being offered in my local honda dealers lol i love this car so much
One Love One Life do it!
@gui673 x its not a convertible.
@@basithph8958 I did it.. and im so happy
@@grandmaster-grouch hey congrats man! How's the car?
S2000 will never be outdated, still fresh good looking jdm, this is a classic
This is the reason why i will never sell my 2003 s2k 😊
Production quality of JDM Master's videos are excellent.
Its 12:12am in houston texas... this video made me come down to the garage... open the door and took the car for a spin... such a great content and image quality
I've owned my s2000 for 14 years and I learned a few things from watching this video. Awesome review!
The S2000 is simply a special car something that may not return
It sorta could, if Honda didn’t want to spend development $$$ they just go knocking on Mazda’s door and ask nicely to borrow their miata chassis put a Honda engine and Redesign the exterior and update the interior and tune it however they like, just like fiat did with the 124 Spyder.
yelloandy They would need to. The MX-5ND2 spanks the S2000 on the track.
WILL not return.
If it ever returns.
It better have a useable powerband
Honda’s never borrows they build they are not Toyota ,BMW or Subaru etc. If Honda wants they build from scratch everything so when you drive a Honda it’s a Honda not some Mazda bmw Subaru or Toyota mashup. Yes it might make sense taking that route but hey the purist of pure will keep it pure so no selling souls here.
Just had my '99 JDM repainted as a 20th birthday present. She's a keeper!
I am a fan of the S 2000, when I test drove one in 2007 i was disappointed by the low torque figures, it is a car that strives on revs, it still remains an engineering marvel for a NA engine. I ended up buying a BMW Z4 roadster 3.0 straight six. Fast forward to 2020, I still a BMW 3.0 Si coupe and when I meet up with my friends with S2000 it's pure mutual respect and admiration of the era that produced these beautiful gem. I salute Honda for the S2000 and the reliability of the Honda VTEC is pure craftsmanship.
No one care about unreliable weak ass bmers

It's about a 1-hour long video but I didn't get bored. It's a great achievement.
I have just witnessed yet one more indication of just how special the Honda S2000 really is. Of course I am referring to this video itself. Not only the great subject matter, but also the level of effort that must have gone into making this video. That you would research these cars to the level of detail that you did is impressive. However, that you would then go on to make sure that all of this detail was presented in a way that is easy to digest speaks to your dedication to your craft. I am guessing too that this is also an indication of just how much you yourself were inspired during your time spent learning about these cars. Thank you! Definitely subscribed.
Love jdm masters reviews. Well knowledged, well spoken, deserves more subscribers.
One of the best presentations i have ever seen about the S2000.Regards
It is really cool to see how the Honda S2000 stacked up against the Porsche Boxster. Two very different car companies that both created beautiful sports cars and their versions of "British Roadsters"
Back in ‘02 I bought my first s2000 after a disappointing boxster test drive. 18 years later and I’m still daily driving an s2000 today. Still thrilling to drive every moment on the street or track.
@@rabidrabiesracing Me too. 18 years, 90K km and zero repairs. Still drives like new and, luckily, has never seen a Canadian winter.
I really liked the idea of that is showing outline's time.
Awesome review! I watched the entire video! The s2000 is such a beautiful, timeless, and iconic car. It is still my dream car even after 5yrs of ownership! I have a Berlina black 2002 AP1 with still 90k miles and I LOVE IT! Still puts a smile on my face and a car that will forever be in my garage. There is no true replacement of the S2000, and honestly it’s perfect that way. Honda did a splendid job and no need to change it now. 9k every day! VTEC!!! Touge monster!!!
I also have a black 2002 AP1. I love it to bits! :)
@@F1fan56 Me too!
Been out driving mine today, it's coming to the grave with me - I'm thinking some kind of Viking send off, strap me in my S2000 and set fire to it (I've got a while to go yet so no offers to buy please ;) )
The quality of this video is exceptional. This is one of your best yet. Great job and keep up the good work.
What a wonderful review of what is going to be a timeless automobile! Happy to have come across this channel from an S2KI reference. Thank you for your dedication to information and education on a subject that most people don't look past the surface or performance figures. Keep up the great work!
The best thing about the S2000?
It’s a Honda so you know it can be kept for a very long time
not it a honda mean a vtec leak... they still making them....since honda just don't want to made new sport car...
campkira your grammar gave me anxiety man, what-chu tryin’ to say?
I have an s2000 identical to this one. It has a 180k trouble free miles. Many more to go!
GT86 135k miles here. You need to take care of it. Only thing I hate is parts are all special order. I never seen dealership stocking parts for s2k.
@@kdavid123186able not everyone lives where you do... plenty of dealers still do parts, also a huge aftermarket base
Just Pleaseee, don's stop doing this ! Hands down the best JDM reviews out there
I like how he has one of these contemporary Car Magazines for EVERY Car they review and that he explains things in the magazines instead of just talking or making a powerpoint presentation.
These videos are getting only better. Cars, infos and those camera shots are amazing.
Great Video! There is a rattle in the first 15 minutes during the drive. Its a high pitch rattle, kind of like coins. If you have ever heard this in an s2000 its coming from the spring connected to the clutch peddle. This generally happens when lifting off the throttle and RPMs drop in the 2000-4500 range, and the car is allowed to coast. The engine produces a specific vibration at that RPM range when there is no throttle input that causes the sound. Easiest way to diagnose this, when you hear the sound, lightly apply pressure to the clutch peddle (not trying to engage the clutch). If the sound goes away then its the spring.
Man.. as an S2K owner.. this was great!! Really went into details other reviews haven’t done. Great job!
Woooh! Albos s2000 review!!! Been waiting all week for this🏁✊ thank you💯💯
Extremely in depth review. This review made me realize how special the is. Just purchased a red S2000!
You are doing absolutely amazing work. Loved the review as much as I enjoy my AP1 !
Wow, the best car review ever! Thanks! Please make more of these!
Quality of this channel is unmatched! another great video
One of the best reviews of S2K in UA-cam. Much Respect to JDM masters!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Awesome episode as always. By far the most informative jdm channel on UA-cam. Type of info car geeks truly love!
LOVED THIS VIDEO. Great work man thank you for all of the facts and details you added!
Enjoyed the review throughly! Keep up the awesome content!
One of many in depth reviews that holds your attention leaving you wanting to know more. The explanation of the engine design was really fascinating and makes one appreciate the engineering design and the challenges it needed to overcome at inception.
After owning and driving many fast and exotic sports cars over my life, I purchased a 2002, S2000 10 years ago. This is an excellent video with top research and production by the team. Top marks to the presenter, kept me engaged right through, with informative and accurate content. Thank you!
Never wanted one of these growing up, but I found myself owning 3 later in life. Keeping it forever.
excellent video as usual guys top work and can't wait for more content
Excellent ! I've owned a 2005 S2000 for five years. This video has been fantastic at deepening my knowledge and appreciation of a Honda master piece. Thank you!
I love videos like this. I listen while I work
Spectacular review of an amazing car! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
7:56 Gan-San in action. I remember that video,he was very content with the S2000 when it first appeared. Thank you for this quality footage,love Hondas.
Thank you for making this video. Great job 👏 👍 👌
*CAN YOU FEEL THE HEARTBEAT intensifies
Wow this review is so good. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It didn't even feel like 50 minutes long. Well done! New sub!
Great stuff I would love to watch a jdm car talk round table with all you guys ! tips tricks advice lore etc !!!!!
Great content! You got a new sub. The host did an incredible job.
Thank you for this in depth review. I watched this last night before I made my purchase of a 2000 S2000 today. This video makes me appreciate my new car even more.
I’m so glad I found this Chanel. That s2000 just looks right at home on the mountains in Japan 🇯🇵 jdm tid!
Albo is a great guy. I know him from the Facebook S2000 pages!
His review is 100% accurate. If you haven’t driven an S2000 yet, you should!
Subscribed!
This gentleman is fantastic. Love the content.
Brilliant in depth review. I had to comment because its just what us Honda engineering fanboys want to see. Thank you
As usual great informative content. So happy that I found Your channel. Can You do altezza rs200 with so much technical and informational details😬. Just love Your style of videos👌🏻
Thanks for making this in depth review of the S2000. Superb video and really informative too about the Iconic Honda S2000.
Again great video well balanced when it goes to nerd facts and more emotional side of car enthusiasm. We would love to see more VTEC videos! Please make holy trinity DC2 EP3 and the king DC5 review. We love them here in Europe!
Great informative video, Enjoyed watching and learning new facts about one of my favorite car of all time. Awesome!
Great video! Great channel!
Incredible! So much information ✌🏾😎✌🏾
very high quality review.. cant thank you enough..!
Im about to purchase an S2000 this week and I really needed this info! :D Gave me much more understanding with the car!
Great review once again, Jdm classic. 😎👍🏻
Thank you guys! finally an S2000 video that takes you into Honda's engineering. I wish that the magazine you are reading from was available with an English translation. I have several S2000 books but none of them get into the real engineering details......if anyone knows of a technical text then please reply. Many thanks, C
THANK YOU!!! This was a real treat for us S2000 owners! I was just waiting for the day when u did a feature on Albo's AP1 and u did a great feature on a legendary, iconic sports car - the Honda S2000. Never to be repeated or replicated. This is a truly special and fine machine as you said. 20 years, day 1 ❤️🎉
P.S. The F20C revs to 9200rpm where the stock limiter cuts out. Proven on a dyno in my own '00 AP1 😉👌😁
thanks for the high quality awesome video! wish you guys can come to south korea. we have huge jdm fans here, tons of jdm cars and culture too.
this channel has potential , it bring great in depth car review with excellent voice articulation and good cinematic. lets help this channel to 100k subs 👍
Awesome in depth review! I watched the entire video. When I bought my AP1 5 years ago I drove quite a few AP2's as well, I just found the raw nature of the AP1 to be a bit more fun. But I do like the look of the AP2 just a little bit more...
I love these!! You guys should do the Z33 HR (07-08) keep up the great work ‼️
Excellent videos. I love the in-depth reviews. How about a deep dive into the DC5?
Best Honda channel. Thank you sir
been waiting for thiss.. to be honest, albo motivated me to save up for an s2000. regardless, keep up the work you guys, i'll likely be watching alot of your videos until i hopefully get mine 😂 !
I just got one today 😁 in mint condition after 6 months of searching. They not cheap these days either. Pick it over the type r
✌🏽✌🏽
Great production. Enjoyed ever second of it and i LOVE the music selection. 10 out of 10.
Do you guys have any JDM Masters car stickers? Would definitely buy them.
why i seen a few s2000 review pop out in my feed lately? such a interesting car afterall .... especially when you learn about the technical aspect of the car... how much effort,time and energy to build this ... and it perform as intended....
and to my surprised this car still cost around $45k in my country ... which is on costlier sides.
$45,000 in which currency? Which country? I bought mine 4 years ago - $18,000 with 33,000 miles. Today with the same miles it's going for ~$20,000-$24,000 USD
Love that drone shoots
I love the literature that is provided with each vehicle review by jdm masters. I worked for Honda Canada when the s2000 was brand new, and the literature that was dealer provided paled in comparison to the information given in the Japanese books. I still have all the books i could grab when this car was in dealer showrooms. Aftermarket or not. It is yet another shining example of the passion and meticulousness the Japanese have for their domestic machines.
Awesome review as always guys, good job! Any chance of doing a review on the CL1 and CL7 Euro R?
The S2000 is the best car I've ever owned!!! I'm moving back to Japan soon and I'm disappointed I can't bring her with me 😭😭😭
Why can't you bring her with?
??? You’ll be in Japan just buy another one, They’ll be easy to find!
Very informative video! 👏
Excellent review. I feel very fortunate to own an S2k. I love the car.
The best UA-cam channel.
I'm glad to see you are back to uploading, great review of the s2k!
amazing channel full with facts without any bullshit fancy sellout shit.. love it
Fantastic review for a monte carlo blue S2000 owner. Thank you.
This channel is amazing
Thank you to the Japanese brother's and to honda for making the most amazing cars, with out this incredible engineering, this life wouldn't be as exciting and fun for the car enthusiast thank you again and god bless Japan 💯
Wow this guy went balls out for this video. Well done!
Amazing video. Supercharged New Formula Red S2K from Texas.
Great vid love S2000’s. Love the detail again keep it up. Please compare Honda VTEC, Nissan VVL, Mazda SkyActive and Toyota VVTI
I have an ACT stage two clutch and flywheel. It has the same gear wine as this. And I LOVE it. Literally feels and sounds like a race car.
*PLEASE DO THIS TYPE OF VIDEO FOR THE CIVIC TYPE R EK9! YOU ARE THE BEST AT CARE REVIEWS! YOU TRULY GO SO DEEP! THE SPIRIT OF THE CAR AND DESIGN! DO EK9 PLEASE!*
This caused me to buy my S2000, thank you!
Third! and I like it...I mean this review🎶🎶👍🏻
Just an addition to when you mentioned the model designations. The European market S2000 remained the AP1 from 1999-2009 retaining the F20C2 throughout all years. This is why I love my ‘08. All the AP2 improvements and upgrades but get to keep 9,000rpm :)
Thumbs up as always
Gorgeous roads, gorgeous views, gorgeous car. 😍
Nice again Captain.
This car still looks so new today. It's one of the cars that really show the essence of designs that withstand the test of time.
This man loves the s2000. Gets my like
A beautiful review which.shows so much expertise and appreciation for the amazing Japanese engineering and quality. By the way no kidding, i am going to rent a S2000 myself this weekend and going drive to the exact same road in Hakone. Guess who’s really excited right now :)
