After 5 years of ownership and 14,000 miles of joy I figured I share my experience with this iconic Japanese Roadster.
It is a blast to drive and Best Buy for the buck, but it does come with its flaws.
If your in the market to buy one , make sure that none of these will be a dealbreaker for you.
If you own an S2000 and you see that I missed something drop it in the comments down below.
Share your S2000 likes and dislikes.
As always thank you for watching!!

I'll take one! 😂😂😂 Always wanted one but just could never execute it.

Same here, needless to say… I’ll never sell it 😅

It is a serious car. Was also at another level above the Miatas of the same year to include price.

I just bought an AP2 model in March and bought it for tracking. What I've learned and going through it right now is alignment hardware. Almost all bolts are seized to the bushings! So now I'm in process of replacing all the bushings, replacing with mugen bushings. Love the car otherwise! Happy with my purchase 😊

I believe it. Don’t get me wrong I love mine too.

I bought one back in 2015 with 40k miles for $14k at the dealer used and now I’m currently at 120k miles. I can’t believe these things are going for $30k 😢 with about the same mileage.

Honestly I see that price only climbing as time goes on. Every year a large numbers of s2000’s gets totaled because they end up in the wrong hands. 🤷🏼‍♂️ It’s just the way it is. I paid $4k for mine although after everything is said and done it owes me $8k but I’ve declined several offers north of $20k I will never sell it!!

@@VikingsGarage sadly this is the reality of 2024 and so on due to inflation and the corona virus plague. If it weren’t so bad I would 100% buy a 2nd s2k for a show car and possibly project car.

I can tell you love your car with that LHT v-tec solenoid ...noticed the hat too. I hope to have the pleasure of owning one. Very clean Ap1

Thank you!! Very good eyes, every now and then I like to work on the AP1 also. LHT performance tons of good info. I’m sure you will own one soon 😉

Very good review. I'm in the market of purchasing one. either a 2000 year model with 73,000 Kilometers or a 2006 with 53,000 Kilometers. They are about the same price. In your opinion will they both rise in price and what one would you purchase? Thank you

@VikingsGarage 11 ай бұрын

Thank you!! They’ll both go up in value, but for more piece of mind and less worries get the (AP2) 2006. 🤘🏻

Great video, I used to be a Honda fanboy back in the 80s and 90s but pretty much now days Honda lost its mojo. I personally would pick a Mazda MX-5.

😂 Boxster and Z4 ain’t got shit on S2000. I’ve owned a Boxster, driven a Z4 multiple times and neither are as much fun, as well built or as engaging to drive as the S2000 ❤

@user-ek5nl1jc4b 7 ай бұрын

Lol I'm guessing you have never owned a s2000 if you think it is overhyped. Literally one of the best driver cars ever made. Enjoy your dime a dozen unreliable German headaches, nobody with an s2000 is going to envy you. I've owned my ap1 for years and I won't sell it unless I can't drive it comfortably one day and it's worth a fortune.

@xWheatThinz 4 ай бұрын

Maybe you see the s2000 as being "overhyped" in your little internet w🌎rld, but correlation doesn't equal causation, it's not overhyped it's just hyped and rightly so as the S2000 was notable for its exceptional specific power output of about 124 hp per litre, or about two horsepower per cubic inch, the highest of ANY mass production, naturally aspirated engined car, until 2010.
