No.
Only 2.0 in UK.
Revisions in 2002, 2004 and IIRC 2006.
Nothing wrong with the handling, whatever year. Later ones got a little bit softer (Honda wanted to start selling also to pansies after selling loads to enthusiasts
) but TBH you'd be splitting hairs. However, worth getting a full geo setup if handling doesn't seem 'right' as proper geo works wonders.
Loads of good info at www.s2ki.co.uk

I've had an MY02 and an MY04 - they MY04 is miles better to drive day to day and wet weather etc, however on a fairly smooth road (track), on a hot, dry day the 02 would be better. 04 also looks better (main reason i upgraded).

I stuck my head round the door just after Dracoro's post but I don't have anything to add I had a 2003 and liked it but the 2004 revisions were nice with revised looks and 17" alloys.

if you get the GT versions with the hardtop... do you still have a soft top?...
the hard top goes over the soft top... is that correct?
thinking of buying a S2K... yellow or black !

Yup. Hard top is like any other, take it off and you've still got the soft top.
I'm on my 2nd S, black this time, looks great but gets dirty and shows blemishes (fortunately, I have hardly any). I had silverstone before and that hides more but doesn't look as good IMO. Same for many cars though, the colour thing.
Yellow great but, unlike black/silver etc., will be a bu66er to sell when it comes to that time.

EU legislation and all that, with the lights you must have them by law etc....
Not a problem with a black S You don't notice them.
Many people re-sprayed them to match car colour or removed and filled in holes.

I purchased one of these new for my wife in the summer, I had a 330bhp Sti version 6, and to be honest the Sti was quicker but you will be very suprised with how mcuh speed you can carry into bends with the S2K, I really enjoy driving this car and it is a proper sports car.

I have a 300hp STI 5 and would swap for an S2000 in a heartbeat. Yes its slower on a bumpy scottish road and slower in a straightline but it's a much more fun and involving car. Also rolling from say 40-140mph there wouldn't be a great deal in it tbh.

Anyone been out to the Nurburgring with their S2000's in a group?
Thinking of getting one next year and it would be great to have a trip with such a car (in the busy summer).

dude at work had a "raspberry" one, it looks sweet
he had to sell it after him and his partner used some COLOURFULL language in the local dealers and were barred from all honda garages in the northeast
now they've upgraded to a Lotus Elise instead, power of the pink-pound eh
