Without a doubt one of the most genuine guys on CZcams , I'm a massive fan I've been watching for a good few months now. Nice to see someone get genuinely excited about everything they drive , not like that shit new topgear from Sunday for example. You need to get yourself up to the northeast , lots of interesting cars up here for you mate!
love this review best one on youtube for the s2000. and it really is that awesome of a car as hes making it out to be ive driven alot of cars and i love my s2000 its the first car i had in a long time that i wake up in the middle of the night to drive and look forward to driving it everytime its that great!!!!!!
Same here. I daily mine and I am still not bored of it after 6 years. Everything about the car is about response, light flywheel, light clutch, medium steering with short rack, high reving engine. Love it. The engine and short gear does make it feel like a bike which is very special
Yep, just stay safe on those back roads as well. I was once in a test drive with somebody and they took blind corners too fast to stop in time if there was an obstruction in the lane, such as a slow vehicle, tractor, cyclist etc. I walked away from it. It was an Mx5. I think it was for the better haha
definately, ive learned my lesson on blind corners a long time ago i had alot of really fast stuff everything from 450 whp 240sx to fast motorcycles ive had alot of ppl pull out in front of me in the last 16 years or more. you just gotta be careful and know where it is safe to rip on it. be safe as well bud. enjoy your s2000 9k all day
From the very first time I drove this machine. To now, five years later. It has become no easier to get out of that drivers seat, only harder over the years. Even after multiple twelve plus hour cross country trips, I just simply NEVER know how to end the drive and take the key back from her. Cheers owners.
Jamie, you realy need to buy one never seen jou as happy in any other video mate. The s2000 realy is something else totally awesome piece of engineering!
you will defenetly own your own, I was watching reviews for days, I used to imagine me in the cockpit, going thru the shifts, i even imagined it in my parking spot.. I had to have it, so i got one, and so can you
What a great video about possibly the greatest driver's car in the world! I am so jealous that you've been driving it for so long on those beautiful roads in such glorious weather. I had the exact same reaction as you when I test drove one of these beauties. I nearly cried when the VTEC kicked in. This car is a pure high revving porn! I loved the gearbox in this car it's so short and precise. The car is so pure, so mechanical and fantastically focused, a real bloody race car for the road. Yes it is very cramped and has no cup holder nor any of the modern conveniences and the key looks like it belongs to a shed, but who cares when the driving becomes so involving and fun? I only drove about 5 or 6 miles in it but I am truly convinced that this car is PERFECT in every single way!
what i love about your reviews is that you get really excited about all the cars you drive. even if they're not the sportiest cars you can tell how much fun you are having!
This review was a major reason I went out and got myself one of these, and my reactions were very much like yours when I drove it. Thank you! This is the best review of the car I've seen in terms of how it makes you feel
I think when it comes to reviewing cars you have to be the best on youtube your passion for the cars comes through more than anyone else keep up the amazing videos !!!!!!
Also a big bonus how reliable the car is on track. Heavier cars eat through brakes and tires but the S2000 won't. IMPORTANT AP1 ENGINE PREVENTION: Make sure to get ap2 valve retainers and banjo bolts as well as a baffled sump for track use if you drive on semis. If you do that you'll drive to the track, drive the snot out of it, see other cars break down on track, then you will drive home and finish the day with your favourite beverage :)
The Honda S2000.... Pretty much the purest (even though the steering wheel IS electric, and post-2006 models have drive-by-wire) driver's car ever, it feels so raw, so light and small. It's pretty much the definition of my ideal car: lightweight, small, not an excessive amount of power, and yet amazing driving position. The only criticism I have for this car is that even though you sit pretty low in the car, because the whole car is so small and low, as well as a non-adjustable steering wheel, sometimes I DO feel like you could sit lower in the car, it's nothing like stepping in a 991 GT3, in which you pretty much feel like you are at the floor of the car. However, you can't really beat how easy this car is to place, it has a pretty nice view out actually, it's probably one of the cars with better visibility I've driven, except for the roof, of course, that gives you a pretty big blind-spot in the back, but that's normal for pretty much any roadster.
I test drove a clean S2000 the other day, haven't been able to stop thinking about it! I know it'll be seriously pushing my first car budget but it's absolutely addictive to drive and they're rising in value. I want one so bad!
Mate, you understand what it's all about, it's the driver skill being rewarded, the power is there if you're able to tap into it, control those revs so its ready to be unleashed! Modern cars with their turbo has the power, but power that comes on so easily is so much less satisfying!
This guys Energy makes the video lol. The S2Ks are one of the icons to date Honda really needs to bring these cars back. Almost a decade since they’ve been made and still they hold a top shelf spot in being the ultimate vert for a great price and value.
Ha ha I love you’re excitement, I thought it was only me who gets that excited about driving an S2000, S2000 Typer integra there’s just nothing like them
best review ever of the s2k...it's exactly what I feel every time I drive mine....yeah, you can have a 800hp gtr, a 1000hp supra, but this....it's in another league, another feelings...it can't be explained, you have to drive one with the top down.
Great vid again mate you should get hold of a crx del sol vti I had one 2003 to 2005 with a aem induction pipe on rolling road people were holding the ear lol loved that car 😍
Loved this video especially mate. You get genuinely excited about cars and it's great to see as a fellow petrol head. So, when you buying one then? Haha
i fucking love your reviews mate, you are always so enthusiastic about the car and you are just a genuinely funny dude :) keep it up, also, have you done the BRZ/GT-86? if not, please do :)
haha, Jamie you're the the best car reviewer. I mean it! It's funny how you enjoy the car and talk about it. Honestly , I think with a better camera and better video editing you could make a lot of money on youtube and I hope you will and could buy one S2000 for example :D by the way, How tall are you? I'm a big guy , 195cm , and I'm wondering if I would fit in this car...
Hi mate.Did you get my message from a previous video ?Nice car, you're video's are awesome, you explain things clearly and in a pleasant manner, I enjoy your video's so much. Do you do any repairs or anything like that on your own cars or do you're friends do repairs and mods for you ? ? keep it upI've just subscribed to you're channel as well. First time I've ever subscribed on CZcams !
robj2e if you get a Z4 you have to get the M. it's the closest you'll get to the s200 because it is also a high strung, high review engine (8,000rpm). it isn't as light as the S2000, it is faster, but has the same overall ingredients, small, nimble, and they key ingredient, which is a high strung high review engine.
Honda S2000 is borderline bike level of run, I jizzed the first time I drove one. It's lucky that I am using my CZcams username typing this, I run 3 MX5 groups and if they heard me say this I'd be dead !
Unlike hot hatches that seem chunky and lumpy this thing looks like a toned muscle. It looks taught and exquisite, drives like it too.
Without a doubt one of the most genuine guys on CZcams , I'm a massive fan I've been watching for a good few months now. Nice to see someone get genuinely excited about everything they drive , not like that shit new topgear from Sunday for example. You need to get yourself up to the northeast , lots of interesting cars up here for you mate!
Get this man on Car Throttle!
Yes mate!
Top Gear more like!
YES!!

i love mine too, put the top down find a nice back road with lots of corners rip on it and you forget about the bad day you just had at work:)
Yep, just stay safe on those back roads as well. I was once in a test drive with somebody and they took blind corners too fast to stop in time if there was an obstruction in the lane, such as a slow vehicle, tractor, cyclist etc. I walked away from it.

Jamie, you realy need to buy one never seen jou as happy in any other video mate. The s2000 realy is something else totally awesome piece of engineering!
I can't go more than a week without watching this. Dreaming about the day that I finally get an S2000
you will defenetly own your own, I was watching reviews for days, I used to imagine me in the cockpit, going thru the shifts, i even imagined it in my parking spot.. I had to have it, so i got one, and so can you
There's honestly no feeling like - S2000 roof-off, VTEC through the hills sound bouncing off the trees at 6am.
Heaven.
What a great video about possibly the greatest driver's car in the world! I am so jealous that you've been driving it for so long on those beautiful roads in such glorious weather.

That water drop on the front Honda symbol just doesn't wanna give up😅
what i love about your reviews is that you get really excited about all the cars you drive. even if they're not the sportiest cars you can tell how much fun you are having!
I love how excited he gets when driving the cars, makes the videos more enjoyable
This review was a major reason I went out and got myself one of these, and my reactions were very much like yours when I drove it. Thank you! This is the best review of the car I've seen in terms of how it makes you feel
I think when it comes to reviewing cars you have to be the best on youtube your passion for the cars comes through more than anyone else keep up the amazing videos !!!!!!
one thing I don't understand. why aren't you the new face if top gear haha. just the pure passion in these videos you'd be perfect for that show
So true, man :))
+Tomas Vinikov be better than bloody Chris Evans haha
I thought you were going to apologise for swearing...but you apologised for having the roof down....I fucking love it 🤣🤣🤣
Its good to see people that can genuinely appreciate cars that do not have 1xxx whp. Love this channel.
Keep up the good work!
Also a big bonus how reliable the car is on track. Heavier cars eat through brakes and tires but the S2000 won't.

Can the valve retainers be swapped or ap2 used on ap1?
Hahahaha. What a great video. Owned one for 8 years. Still makes me giddy like you there. Even though it’s not that quick, it’s just pure fun!
Currently on the train down to Ipswich to pick one of these up partly thanks to your video man! Keep up the great vids
What’s it been like to own?,I’m looking for one.
Absolutely love them, sold my EP3 three years ago but I’m ready for another car now 😎😇

Best review you've done so far Jamie, seriously stands out from the rest!
great vid again mate, it was a pleasure sorting that out for you.
glad you enjoyed it
Much underrated car great video mate keep it up 😃😃
one of my fave videos from you ! and definitely one of my fave cars, awesome video !
Quality of your videos has gotten great over the last few months . Keep up the good work 👌👌
I test drove a clean S2000 the other day, haven't been able to stop thinking about it! I know it'll be seriously pushing my first car budget but it's absolutely addictive to drive and they're rising in value. I want one so bad!
I love my s2000! Best car I have ever owned and I've owned quite a few
Loving your love for Honda's! Keep up the good work and hunt down that FD2 fella!!
proud owner of the AP2. I agree with everything this guy says
Liked before I even watched it lol You make the best car review videos on youtube, even convinced me to buy an ep3 not long ago
Amazing review, watched this a few time now makes me laugh everytime. Keep it up mate. 👍
Mate, you understand what it's all about, it's the driver skill being rewarded, the power is there if you're able to tap into it, control those revs so its ready to be unleashed! Modern cars with their turbo has the power, but power that comes on so easily is so much less satisfying!

I love this channel,And i dont even drive :D,Its because hes so down to earth and fun to watch.
Keep up the good work Jamie. :)
i love that i can actually hear you in these videos whereas in The Smoking Tire i can barely make out what he's saying 90% of the time
Absolutely LOVE this S2000 Review :)
I love this guys reviews, needs to be on top gear! Would add some serious fun to the show and he is a normal guy that people can relate too!
Love this Review, the energy you got while driving that car is amazing. I could feel your joy hahahaha
Top review... love your enthusiasm for driving the S2000. Makes me want to own one too!
Always loved the S2000's. I'd have one. I've even mapped it out a couple of times how I'd make one look.
yeah man i no that feeling
The clutch is very stiff. That's because it's in need of maintenance. The clutch should be light and free moving. Common problem
Hypersonik how do u fix it?
It could be an aftermarket clutch. If it's on the original clutch, then the release bearing could be bad.
Can confirm. I just had my clutch done with stock parts. A stiff S2000 clutch is either bad or aftermarket.
Maybe stiff compared to a Honda Civic? My s2000 clutch is stiffer compared to a new Miata RF.
Best review ever
U can deff say Jamie genuinely enjoyed making that vid!!!! :)
great vid Fairplay.showed vtec and great camera angles.i will own 1 and I will keep it for my son.what a car
God i love this vid.!!! Really makes me want one now. Great vid, bud keep it up 👍🏻
Absolutely love your enthusiasm! Subscribed.
Excellent review - thank you Jamie!
Yessss do i spy a 6two1 sticker too ? Such a sick car, i love s2000's. Great video man! cannot wait for you to drive the crx
Ahaha just as i commented u said shout out! excellent
hahaha yeah man she's rocking the cheeky 6two1 sticker ;) love this car now, yeah man that is going to be epic :D
I need to sort you one out with our coilovers on for you to chuck about ....
dude that sounds good to me
had to sneak a little 6two1 decal on there, gotta be done
Ha ha I love you’re excitement, I thought it was only me who gets that excited about driving an S2000, S2000 Typer integra there’s just nothing like them
This sold it way more to me than Hammond's men and motors review
best review ever of the s2k...it's exactly what I feel every time I drive mine....yeah, you can have a 800hp gtr, a 1000hp supra, but this....it's in another league, another feelings...it can't be explained, you have to drive one with the top down.
Great vid dude. New shirt looks the nuts too!
cracking video mate, I've wanted one for ages and I've just about managed to get spousal approval, hope the bank manager says yes too!
Brilliant video as always and I'd love to drive a s2000 at some point. Do you think the back is a bit more twitchy than cars with a longer wheelbase ?
I already know that i need one of these cars and I havnt even driven one yet! lol, just absolutely love them!
great review dude. always wanted one for the summer... think i might get one this year!
mate, im just thinking of getting one of these, it is a class review, im pissing myself, sold to me!! thnaks
Love your videos bruh 💪 I was waiting for this video to come ...
thanks dude!
About time bro!!! Sick car, Sick!!
Great review Jamie!
Great review. I've had my S2000 for 6 years and still love it. No thoughts on replacing it yet.
Great vid again mate you should get hold of a crx del sol vti I had one 2003 to 2005 with a aem induction pipe on rolling road people were holding the ear lol loved that car 😍
Loved this video especially mate. You get genuinely excited about cars and it's great to see as a fellow petrol head. So, when you buying one then? Haha
excellent review !! thank you sir! same way I feel when I drive mine
dudes having a blast!
Found out my cousin owns an aristo thought it was a gs300 at first by the way great video
i fucking love your reviews mate, you are always so enthusiastic about the car and you are just a genuinely funny dude :) keep it up, also, have you done the BRZ/GT-86? if not, please do :)
Here's a drinking game for you; everytime Jamie giggles, says wow or V-Tec, you drink. Hammered in 15 minutes I think
Best car I've ever owned and if you ever drive one you will understand his reaction.
Hi Jamie, I've just sold my S14 (sick of repairing it), I'm looking at one of these or a 2007 NC MX5, which would you go for mate?
haha, Jamie you're the the best car reviewer. I mean it! It's funny how you enjoy the car and talk about it. Honestly , I think with a better camera and better video editing you could make a lot of money on youtube and I hope you will and could buy one S2000 for example :D by the way, How tall are you? I'm a big guy , 195cm , and I'm wondering if I would fit in this car...
that particular car is still n the road too 😁👍 makes me happy....
Love your vids ! You really manage to share you enthusiasm :)
Sounds fucking lovely. Would love one of these in Phoenix yellow
youve just given me an idea of what to replace my dc2 with 👍👍👍☺
This review made me smile :) Thanks
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG Finally!!!! Am S2000 from Jamie!!!!
Always wanted to own an S2000 and after your last video was considering the Aristo. Wish I had enough Money to own both
How do you feel about it compared to the supercharged 5 you drove?
Awesome video. love the VTEC vids :D next up, lightly modified Toyota Celica GT-S (7th gen with 2ZZ-GE)? 😀
Always like your videos mate, how are they compared to the ep3 ? ( I own one lol ) always fancied an s2000... also like the 350z too :)
Hi mate.Did you get my message from a previous video ?Nice car, you're video's are awesome, you explain things clearly and in a pleasant manner, I enjoy your video's so much. Do you do any repairs or anything like that on your own cars or do you're friends do repairs and mods for you ? ? keep it upI've just subscribed to you're channel as well. First time I've ever subscribed on CZcams !
this is truely a brilliant reaction
Awesome vid bro!! Keep it up, thank you!!👍👍👍👍
Always had respect for these. Not my bag but a good piece of engineering.
did you get the S2000 in your life ? I bought a 2001 model based (partly) on this and never looked back, love it ❤
I love how excited Jamie gets once he sits behind a decent Honda :D I think V-tec gets to him :D
i think the only car that will come close to this to give you that feeling is potentially a z4 ???? good review pal cant wait to see the next one !!
well done. sound caught nicely
I own a 7th gen 2zzge celica atm and this is the car that i wanna buy next!
samin2012 I have both and I love them both. Can't beat the Celica in town. S2k is on track duty 😁
Trying to decide between this and BMW z4 3 Litre.
Jamie, Get your hands on a z4 to test PLEASE! Love your videos dude. Keep it up.
robj2e if you get a Z4 you have to get the M. it's the closest you'll get to the s200 because it is also a high strung, high review engine (8,000rpm). it isn't as light as the S2000, it is faster, but has the same overall ingredients, small, nimble, and they key ingredient, which is a high strung high review engine.
Christ your subs have rocketed
Epic cars, always fancied one and now I want one too
This guy should be on top gear...this is a genuine appreciation of cars
The owner should fix the straps on the soft top unless it wasn't fully lowered. It's a cheap and common fix. Love my s2000, great video.
This video shows exactly what the love of driving is all about.
Honda S2000 is borderline bike level of run, I jizzed the first time I drove one. It's lucky that I am using my CZcams username typing this, I run 3 MX5 groups and if they heard me say this I'd be dead !
You convinced me low milage stock sp1 in my garage thanks
I need that ek9 Tee!! Sick ride s2000 are dope!
i went in this car yesterday and omg its fast and the vtec omg
yo jamie where is this road on the island it looks incredible ???//
