2002 Honda S2000 37k Mi. on 2040-cars
Grants Pass, Oregon, United States
I have owned this fantastic car for over 5 years. It has only required scheduled maintenance and a set of tires. The Kelly Blue Book Customer Sat is 9.7. One of the highest.The car has actually increased in value and continues to increase.It has always been garaged. Everything works, A/C, Radio, Power Windows Doors/ Trunk, etc. Never had a accident or door dings. The 240 HP 4 Cyl revs to 6000 RPM then an extra lobe on the cam kicks in like a turbo and it zips all the way to the 9000 RPM Red Line. I have owned Porsche's, BMW's, RX8 and even a Mustang and the car has "FUN FACTOR" above them all. The reason for selling is that I owned a 1972 BMW 3.0 CS and put over 100k miles on it back in the day. It was by far the best car I have ever owned and I want buy a BMW Z4 to see if it will be even better than my 3.0 CS. Besides it's time to let someone else enjoy this S2000 with the glass rear window and 0-60 performance of 5.6 seconds. Honda's S2000 roadster provides an excellent alternative to the Audi TT, BMW Z3, Mercedes-Benz SLK and Porsche Boxster. Out of that group, the S2000 is the most performance-oriented. It's not as apt at city use, nor does it have the prestige that comes with owning a car emblazoned with a German marque. But for a visceral (and less-expensive) driving experience, the S2000 is the car to get. Car and Driver Data: ENGINE: DOHC 16-valve inline-4, aluminum block and head, port fuel injection 240 HP, 9000 RPM Redline DIMENSIONS: Wheelbase: 94.5 in Length: 162.2 in Width: 68.9 in Height: 50.0 in Curb weight: 2840 lb TRANSMISSION: 6 Speed Manual C/D TEST RESULTS: Zero to 60 mph: 5.4 sec Zero to 100 mph: 15.0 sec Street start, 5-60 mph: 6.9 sec Standing -mile: 14.1 sec @97mph Top speed (drag limited): 149 mph Braking, 70-0 mph: 166 ft FUEL ECONOMY: EPA city driving: 20 mpg EPA hwy driving: 28 mpg C/D-observed: 23 mpg

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Honda CR-Z carbon-fiber prototype
Tue, 03 Dec 2013When Honda rolled out the CR-Z a few years ago, it hoped to bridge the gap between those who would save the planet and those who would rather burn all of its resources in a glorious cloud of tire smoke. But enthusiasts recalling the CRX of 1980s vintage balked, imploring Honda to ditch the heavy battery packs and electric motors in favor of a lighter-weight, more conventional powertrain. At this point it seems less likely that Honda would do so at one end of the market than Porsche would ditch the hybrid component of its 918 Spyder at the other. But that doesn't mean Honda isn't still cooking up ways to curb the CR-Z's weight. And it had just one such idea waiting for us when we visited its Japanese R&D center at Tochigi last week.
Nestled in between the JDM hatchbacks, powertrain test mules and new technology prototypes Honda rolled out for us sat the experimental CR-Z you see here. While it may look mostly like the hybrid sport-hatch you can pick up at your local dealer (albeit blacked out), nearly all of this prototype's bodywork has been completely replaced, as have its basic underpinnings, with carbon-fiber reinforced plastic. The exotic material is usually reserved for high-end exotics, but like BMW is democratizing its use in the new i3, so too is Honda researching ways to implement the use of carbon fiber on a mass scale. This one-of-a-kind CR-Z prototype stands, for the time being, as the embodiment of that effort.

Honda China struggling with high-end Accord because Chinese covet German cars, too
Sun, 06 Jul 2014It's not particularly unusual to see cheap cars in China, or those with designs stolen from foreign competitors, but increasingly the best-selling vehicles there would be very recognizable to just about any auto enthusiast. There appears to be one fact of life whether looking at car buyers in Sacramento, Stuttgart or Shanghai: People who can afford to buy premium cars often look first at the Germans.
Honda recently thought that it could challenge this perceived wisdom by including a premium Accord in the ninth-generation sedan's Chinese launch last year. The market-exclusive version was priced against the Audi A4. The venture failed, miserably.
According to Automotive News China, sales for the new Accord in China are down 37 percent through May of this year. Honda's overall sales are actually up by about 11 percent there on the strength of smaller, less profitable models. However, the company is still off its forecast 19-percent rise.
