Review:

If you're looking for a wonderful weekend car, the Honda S2000 is a fabulous choice. Since weekends are normally given over to fun, this little roadster is guaranteed to deliver enjoyment above and beyond the norm. Assuming, of course, you can squeeze into its snug cabin.

Whittled down to a design that wedges every inch of you into one of the most efficient and best-arranged passenger compartments in the sports car industry, the S2000 is definitely not for doughnut-lovers. It fits closer than a latex glove. You'll get in fine but getting out may not be as easy. That's because people tend to slide in sideways but slide out front-ways. (And in case you're rude enough to wonder, I weigh 138 lb. Maybe it's my hips...)

Squeezing notwithstanding, it's worth every pulled-in breath to drive this great little sports car. Although it isn't Honda's first roadster -- it built the S500 back in the 1960s -- it is the first to go on sale here while BMW's Z3 and Porsche's Boxster designers are already on to their next-generation models.
