This 2003 two owner S2000 is in fantastic condition and is complimented by great performance. The $6,290(plus installation) Vortech Supercharger increases the horsepower “by 49%” to give you “358” as stated by Vortech on its webpage. The body is a 9.5/10 and the interior is a 9.9/10 as you might expect from mostly a one owner car with only 7,389 miles as shown on the odometer and documented in the clean Carfax. I bought it last September and have put about 500 miles on it. As you can see the underside is as unbelievably clean as the topside. When have you last seen a car’s underside this clean? Obviously it has not been driven in bad weather. The aftermarket exhaust is by MW and there is a MW badge on the trunk. I had a pre-purchase inspection performed by a Honda dealer before I bought it passed with flying colors. Compression in each of three cylinders was 220# and in the fourth was 230#. The wheels are all scratch and curb rash free and are as new and the one pictured is representative of the other ones. Tires are original and the fronts have 7/10” and the rear 4/10”. Due to their age 4 brand new tires, rated better than the competitor tires in a Tire Rack comparative test, are included with the sale as well as a nice car cover. There is an aftermarket amp in the trunk. The top with the heated rear glass window is very nice. There are no tears in the seats or scrapes and the original mats are nice. The 9000 rpm redline takes some getting used to as your natural inclination is to want to shift at about 6500 as most cars require. The sound is fantastic. The V-tech cam lets you know around 7200 RPM that it has arrived. The next year S2000 lowered the rev limit, a shame. Handling is superb. I have had 6 different Porsches on the race track at Mid Ohio including a Boxster S and I can say without qualification that this car handles very well. I have not tracked this car. If you can find the Mid Ohio Track Video showing an instructor in one you will see how well they handle. So good was this year and S200 that Car and Driver picked it in a comparison test over a Borsche Boxster, Z4 BMW, a 270Z and an Audi TT. It shows no paint work and the clean Carfax shows no accident history. The AC blows cold..The stock items removed for the Vortech installation are included with the car. I had the local Honda Dealer change the oil, brake fluid and anti-freeze right after I got it last fall. I have the record of this fluid change as well as the pre-purchase inspection invoice. Check out the completed listings and you will see that one with a few thousand less miles just sold for $23,000 and because it was for the latter series it is not as desirable in my opinion. And more importantly, it is missing the Vortech fun factor costing over $7500, counting installation. I have purchased several Porsches and Audi’s from Ebay or Autotrader without seeing them and this is the best car purchased on line in terms of condition. I will not entertain bids or offers from people with no ebay rating.

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover

Wed, Jul 25 2018

Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).

Acura NSX production car headed for Detroit debut?

Tue, 23 Oct 2012

Auto Express is reporting that Honda is set to unveil the production version of its upcoming Acura NSX at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. The news comes courtesy of an unnamed "top exec" for Honda Brazil speaking at the Sao Paulo Motor Show. The concept version of the Japanese supercar is currently on display there. Interestingly enough, the same unnamed source claims the production iteration will remain aesthetically identical to the show car. You won't hear any qualms from us on that front.
Of course, the timing of the production debut is a little confusing. For starters, when Acura unveiled the concept last year, the company told the world it would be at least three years before production began. That would give the street-worthy model a 2014 or 2015 designation, the latter being cited more often in media accounts. Thus, we'll keep an eye out for the hybrid supercar in Motown, but we're going to stop short of holding our breath... it might be a while.

Honda reveals updated rest-of-world Civic hatchback

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

The rest of the world's most recent Honda Civic was introduced for 2012, and it looks much the same as the 2014 model Honda will release in January to European and Asian markets. In fact, not much has changed, but a retuned power steering system, revised front and rear damping rates and rear wheel toe and camber adjustments are touted to make the hatchback drive better, World Car Fans reports.
There are some small visual changes, such as privacy glass for the lower rear window, a piano-black front bumper that previously was dark gray and piano-black trim replacing body-color pieces around the license plate area, tailgate and lower bumper. Inside, white stitching adorns the seats, steering wheel and knee pad along with aluminum and gloss-black accents placed around the center console area.
Of course, Honda won't be exporting this particular Civic to the US (or the recently unveiled Civic Tourer), so check out the photo gallery to see it in all its not-for-you glory.
