Quotes: S2000
“With the push of a race car-style button, high-tech performance rumbles to life in the Honda S2000 roadster. A direct beneficiary of technological advances developed by Honda engineers over the past four decades of racing on circuits around the world, the rear-drive S2000 is a real driver’s car.”
“Underway, the S2000 becomes an integral part of a very personal relationship between driver, machine, and roadway. Fast and controlled, its low, wide stance enhances stability and control. The manual gearbox provides a direct, quick, and smooth shift feeling. This is a pure driver’s car – old school performance meets modern underpinnings. Add bulletproof Japanese reliability and it’s a winning combination that will yield many a satisfied driver.”
“In the cabin, Honda designed a purposeful interior, modeled after a Formula One race car cockpit. Complete vehicle and accessory control is offered with no movement from the driving position. All controls are immediately in front of the driver, with the digital instrument panel presenting information in a clear, easy-to-read format. A four-way adjustable driver’s seat allows for maximum driver comfort and support.”

“I like the CR-V’s size for a small family; it seats five people, has good legroom in the rear seats – 38.5 inches, which is better than most vehicles – and 41.3 inches of front legroom.”
”Honda retains winning size for CR-V.”
