The 2003 Honda S2000 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2003 Honda S2000 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2003 Honda S2000 before buying one.
What to check on the S2000
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 8 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, service brakes and steering. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
A combined rating of 11.8 L/100 km works out to about 35 litres per 300 km. That works out to about $20.65 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Who the S2000 suits
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the S2000 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the S2000 tells you more than any review.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Next step
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2003 Honda S2000 from us first.
