My buddy and I drove it up to Lick Observatory, an astronomy observation and research complex in the Bay Area. But the real destination was the road \u2014 Mount Hamilton Road. Twenty miles of ascending hillside twisties lead to the top of Mount Hamilton, and the S2000 was the perfect car for the job.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:

The acclaimed sports car is becoming increasingly sought-after as a future classic, if it isn\u2019t one already. Laypeople may not immediately understand the excitement \u2014 it\u2019s just a Honda \u2014 but the S2000 can stir near-obsession levels of passion among the enthusiast crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For those people, this car ticks all the boxes. The S2000 is rear-wheel drive and comes exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. It has an engine with famously distinct character. A legendary chassis. 50-50 weight distribution. And at a featherweight 2,800 pounds, all this balance makes for an incredibly nimble driving experience. The Honda badge means it was affordable as a new car and requires minimal maintenance as an aging one. It\u2019s exactly the type of car that enthusiasts are supposed to like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I borrowed this example from a very generous Turo host named\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/drivers\/3681154\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brandon A.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in San Jose, CA, eager to get behind the wheel of a machine so universally beloved by gearheads. This 2007 S2000 was Brandon\u2019s first car. He learned stick on it, drove it throughout high school, and has turned it into a tasteful and purposeful build that he drives on weekends and tracks when he can. I am jealous.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brandon\u2019s build<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though not a particularly flashy sports car, the S2000 is handsomely styled with clean lines and has what I think are perfect proportions. Brandon\u2019s car certainly looks the business. He\u2019s blacked out the badges and added a slight tint to the headlights. He\u2019s also fitted it with lightweight wheels wearing sticky <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nexen N\u2019Fera SUR4 tires \u2014 wide 255 sections at all four corners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most noticeable addition is the roll bar. Brandon has removed a storage compartment and all the interior panels behind the seats to bolt on a four-point roll bar, further stripping down the already-sparse cabin. All the modifications together make Brandon\u2019s S2000 look like a real athlete \u2014 the square stance, muted accents, and metal pipes lurking in the rear view mirror betray the car\u2019s devious intentions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9747\" src=\"http:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0061-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5656\" height=\"2828\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was a tight squeeze. Brandon has installed a Recaro bucket seat on the driver\u2019s side, which slides forward and back but not up or down. At 6\u20192, I am a significantly longer human than Brandon and the seat\u2019s custom placement did me no favors in a car that already felt fun-sized. I had to be in a constant hunch to even see the road. What\u2019s more, the S2000\u2019s steering wheel doesn\u2019t adjust, so every time I pressed the clutch (often), my left knee became part of the wheel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is a keyed ignition where you expect it, but then there\u2019s also a red start button to the left of the wheel that starts the engine. The engine. It\u2019s a 2.2L inline-4 that makes 240 horsepower and 160 lb-ft of torque. So it\u2019s not a monster, but the power is supremely manageable around town and enough to play with on your favorite driving road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The party piece is the exhaust. Brandon has installed an Invidia exhaust system that grumbles hungrily behind your head at idle and positively howls with the accelerator matted, I soon found. It\u2019s a wake-the-neighbors kind of noise when you\u2019re up in the gas, complete with delicious coughs and burbles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mount Hamilton Road<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9724\" src=\"http:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0040-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1880\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0040-copy.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0040-copy-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0040-copy-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0040-copy-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0040-copy-1536x768.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">California State Route 130 is a beautiful hill climb through oak-dotted pastures with increasingly grand views on the way to the 4,360-foot peak of Mount Hamilton. It has banked s-bends, countless tight corners, and at least four legit hairpin turns. The car handled it all with enthusiasm and endless grip. With every turn the little Honda fed my confidence with successful apexes and heaping scoops of whey protein powder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This car is of the S2000\u2019s second generation, known as the AP2 (see Brandon&#8217;s plates?). The AP2 received a subtle facelift, slight torque boost, and a more manageable redline (8,200 RPM). The general consensus is that the AP2 is a little softer and more refined than the preceding AP1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However this car does not feel soft. The Ohlins DFV coilovers relayed the slightest bumps straight though my skeleton. You can feel the paint on the road while crossing lanes, so any real topography in the asphalt is impossible to ignore. No crack or pebble goes unnoticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">VTEC, yo<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The S2000\u2019s engine has a fun little trick called VTEC. Honda\u2019s VTEC technology stands for \u2018<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Variable Valve Timing &amp; Lift Electronic Control,\u2019 which is a technical and\/or pedantic way to say you get gobs of power high in the rev range.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And I mean high \u2014 the VTEC comes on at 6,000 RPM in each gear. You have to ruthlessly nail the accelerator to set free the magical speed pixies that lurk in the VTEC zone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9722\" src=\"http:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0273-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1880\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0273-copy.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0273-copy-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0273-copy-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0273-copy-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0273-copy-1536x768.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the windy rollercoaster of Route 130 (and in most situations, for that matter), there are few opportunities to wring the engine all the way out. When the VTEC does kick in, it\u2019s nothing short of exhilarating. The Invidia exhaust shrieks like a cat getting its paw stepped on (in a good way) and the awesome Star Wars-esque digital tachometer fills with bright orange. It\u2019s fantastic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And shifting the S2000 is delicious. Oh, that shifter. Its direct mechanical feedback coddles you with precise crispy clicks. Even my clumsy feet were able to match revs on the S2000\u2019s glorious downshifts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you take two steps back, a stock S2000 is not actually that fast. Some even have the nerve to call it slow. Zero to 60 happens in 6.4 seconds with the AP2, so for a celebrated sports car, sure, it\u2019s a bit unhurried. Brandon has left the engine alone, but the aftermarket suspension, immense grip, and howling exhaust note attack the senses and demand focus in a way that makes the car feel as quick as I need.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drive a Honda<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After chatting up some heroic bikers taking a rest at the observatory, halfway through casual 50-mile bike rides, we tore back down the mountain and headed over to Skyline Boulevard, a Bay Area favorite. There we happened upon a first-generation Honda NSX \u2014 Honda\u2019s flagship sports car during the time the S2000 was conceived and launched.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9712\" src=\"http:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/0-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1880\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/0-2.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/0-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/0-2-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/0-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/0-2-1536x768.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The design philosophy behind this 1995 NSX was the same Honda applied to Brandon\u2019s S2000. Both cars are light and analog. Both have lively VTEC engines that redline in the eights. And in both Hondas, balance, precision, and driving satisfaction are valued above raw power. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s this Honda philosophy that has created so many S2000 believers. Plenty of cars are faster, or shinier, or louder, or more sophisticated. In Brandon\u2019s car, I don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t care that I don\u2019t fit and I don\u2019t care that the VTEC is hard to find. Few cars are as playful as the Honda S2000, which is sadly discontinued. It\u2019s an eager driver that works hard and loves every second of it. If you try Brandon\u2019s S2000 for yourself, I guarantee you\u2019ll experience this love.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"buttonWrapper\"><a class=\"button button--large button--dark\" href=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/rentals\/cars\/ca\/san-jose\/honda-s2000\/303666\">Test drive the S2000<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The little roadster that could, did, and will People share a lot of unique cars on Turo.
