I Wanted to Buy an S2000 Until I Rented One 

This guy would order a well done steak and complain about the restaurant.

You floored it at 4000rpm in 6th and it revs to 9000rpm! It's got 6 gears mate, use it and don't be such a Karen!

What if this is Robert's attempt to secretly lower the values of S2000 so he can pick one up at below current values?

Dude you tried to floor it at 4500 rpm in 6th😂 what did you expect

Such a dad move to record someone doing nothing while saying nothing for an awkward amount of time.

Honestly this “review” couldn't be any worse. He complains about slow acceleration while in 6th gear, drives it on highway only and whines about the car being small. Holy crap what did you expect? It's a small car made for twisty roads, not a highway cruiser.

First person in history to drive an S2000 and have zero idea how to drive it 😂😂👍🏻

"why's does this thing takes premium gas?" Well maybe because it makes more power per litre than some of your N/A super cars you own. 🥴

The S2000 is the perfect size for this young man.

Hahaha never before have I seen someone compare an s2000 and an NSX as if they’re in the same class

It’s 240-250 hp. He's used to driving something with at least twice the power. The car is fine; the driver?

In this episode, rob shows he doesn’t understand power bands at all

Wow a 20 year 30k car isn't as comfortable as a 70k+ car new. Thanks rob

"It feels cheap compared to the NSX" Rob, the NSX is WAY more expensive! (🙄 Rich people are insanely out of touch.)

I honestly never thought Rob had so much lack of knowledge... for a car dude...

Your review of the s2000 tells me everything I need to know about your taste in cars.

Rob rented an S2000 and expected it to be as comfortable as an S550

Bro when he was complaining bout the acceleration, just downshift!

Even after this video the S2000 will rise in value

Singlehandedly the worst S2000 review, I have ever seen. I can’t trust your opinion on ANY other car now.

The car makes more than 100 hp per liter yet he questions the need for premium fuel...

Your probably the first person that rented it that actually put premium fuel in it.

Today Mr. Spaghetti is surprised there's tomatoes in pasta sauce.

That is the ultimate, “You have to drive it like you stole it” car... it has to be rev’ed to the moon to get any power.

It's not a highway cruiser, it's a fun twisty backroads/autocross car. It's simple, reliable and fun to toss around corners. It's for people who want a miata that's got a little more hp and honda build quality, reliability and looks (although the miata isn't really lacking those things). It's not a car you are gonna take on long road trips

This video showed me I will NEVER trust any of Rob’s opinions on cars.

He needs to go watch some Best MOTORing videos, mimic how they drive it, and then come back here trying to say these are slow cars.

8:09 “Is one of them running E85?” She sounds like a keeper.

Rob wondering why the car has no torque when it revs to 9 k and he’s at 6k

Rob, I’ve been following you for 14 years now and I have a lot of respect for what you have to say, but you missed the mark on this one. Straight line speed isn’t the point of this car, and you’re certainly not going to be fast when you’re in 6th gear. The car has 162 lb. ft. of torque. It’s also not a GT car. Personally I completely disagree about how comfortable the seats are, but its primary focus isn’t to be comfortable like an S Class. I’d encourage you to drive one on a backroad or on a track, or just actually make more of an effort to wind it out around town. I’ve dailied mine for three and a half years now and the shortcomings are more than enough made up for by how fun it is to drive. And it can be fun to drive around town if you drive it correctly.

>full throttle yeah 6th gear at 90 mph lol, why didn't you drop it into vtec?

Do you know how to shift gears???

Today Mr. Spaghetti compares Chef Boyardee to authentic Spaghetti Bolognese

These are the same type of people that would then get into a fast car and complain "It's numb, it doesn't have any feel 😭".

Rob is expecting Turbo S cabriolet performance and luxuries from a 30k honda roadster with a NA 4 banger

As a three time owner of an S2K you have to drive it like you stole it. If you are going 90 mph the highest gear you should be in is 4th. Keep it in the V-Tec YO

An S2000 isn't fun until you basically abuse it in VTEC. You don't get the instant dopamine like you do in modern Turbocharged cars

"compare it to the nsx!" (SECONDS after showing the MSRP is low 30's, as opposed to 150k for the NSX, adjusted for inflation) C'mon man...

Rob the type of guy to shift a S2000 at 6000 rpm

I've owned my S2000 since 2011 and it's still the most amazing car I've ever driven. It's clear that the driver has no idea how to drive the car and I don't care how good he drives other cars because if you can't figure out how to drive the S2000 you shouldn't be behind the wheel of one. Like other posters that said this guy is no idea what a power band is. If you knew how to drive a car and realized he's screaming close to 70 mph and second gear he'd look at the car in a different light

You own a boomer vet that looks like a s2000.. Wouldn't expect anything else.. rev it up grand daddy!

thank you for letting me know a small sports car isn’t as comfortable as a $60,000 Mercedes

You probably won’t see this, but there is a groove on the gas cap cover to hold the cap 👀

This guy is sort of a car snob. S2000's aren't expensive enough for him. A week or two ago he was $hitting on Alfa 4C's. Both completely bad ass cars to most of us, but not to Rob. Quite the shame.

Lol **floors it in 6th gear in an old/small low-powered convertible and complains about the acceleration**

Based on the comments alone, I'm not surprised Spaghetti has a hard time understanding a driver's car. Go get in your tourer and enjoy it and leave the driver's cars to the drivers.

Rob: *rents a car that’s often compared to a Miata Also rob: *complains about how it is small and slow

Who does pulls on a cruising gear? Oh well one day he’ll learn how to drive a manual correctly.

I feel like being used to exotics makes Mr. Spaghetti numb to anything less A 2.0L is never going to pull like a V8

Today, Mr Spaghetti tells us why it is good to taste test your pasta before plating it.

Down shift please 🙏🏾

I had a feeling this is how it would go 😅. I still love S2000. Rob has been tainted by all the 500k dollar cars he’s got access to.. lol

Imagine expecting power below 6000rpm on a honda and you're expecting it to be comformtable, it's a NA sports car. You're suppose to downshift when u overtake and every time u accelerate.

You’re @ full throttle in 6th gear saying that it’s slow lol

Hm. Weird. Everyone else that has reviewed one seems to love them. Maybe there's something wrong with you. Most likely not the 15+ year old car.

“Be careful, he probably has 100 grand under the hood of that car.”

That's why Engineering Explained supercharged his when he had one.

*Old Mr. Spaghetti man complains sports car is too sporty*

*Does a pull at 100mph in a car meant for the track Spaghetti: this thing is so slow

Man, for a guy that reviews cars a lot you have no idea what you’re talking about.

9:51 spaghetti leaving gas cap on the paint instead of the gas door

Props to your camera girl chasing that Uris at 11:11 versus keeping focus on your mug, she's the MVP of this video. 🤣

Oh wow! My ears perked up as soon as you said "Chicago." Looking at the mileage and the date you published this, I had to check my trip... I was literally the very next person to rent this very same S2000 (it's a 2004), from Friday the 30th of April to Sunday May 2nd. From Edwin M.! Per my pictures, I dropped it off with 67420 miles on it after staying in Rockford for a few days for a wedding. Cool coincidence! Funny thing, I had the exact opposite experience. What brought me to this video is that I'm actually in the market for an S2000 as a direct result of having rented it on this trip. I had previously paid no attention to these; I'd always dismissed it on the assumption that it was a FWD like most Hondas. I rented it because I was traveling with my 7yo daughter and wanted to give her a fun ride, and that's exactly what we got. She loved it, and so did I. BTW, you left that Pepperidge Farm bag under the passenger seat ;o)

close ratio gears man, all you gotta do is keep it above 6k rpm and it works fine lol

My man you have to use the v-tec. Just downshift next time...

Dude complains about the S2000 expecting it to be the opposite of everything that it is. A. Its a Honda. An old Honda. Its going to feel cheap. B. You floor any 2.0 NA engine in 6th gear and it isn't gonna go anywhere. 3. The damn car is 21 years old. Of course it isn't going to hold up to modern cars. D. No shit the seats are bad. You are supposed to throw this car around corners not recline in your La-Z-Boy. 6. Shut up about the small cockpit. It's a small convertible. Put the top down and hang your damn arm out the window. 17. Guy expects V8 performance out of a 4 cylinder? Get real. G. You gripe about it needing premium gas? Something about a super high-revving, high compression engine needing predicable burning fuel. Who would've thought?

This is pretty much how I felt when I drove a C4 corvette. Except I actually drove it to redline

Keiichi Tsuchiya has said it numerous times, that the S2K is one of the greatest Touge cars of all time.....someone who actually knows how to drive cars and take them to there limits ^__~

Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should

I had a 00' was my favorite car I ever owned, and the only one I regret selling.

Thanks rob for the video of me and my buddy racing LOL

The S2000 is cooler then any car you passed on that highway

This is the worst s2000 review I have ever watched. No top down. Trying to accelerate in a higher gear, complains about comfort in a weekend sports car. On and on.

Today Mr. Spaghetti tells us why his Olive Garden dish was gross.

I’m sure it’s been said but drop to 4th, don’t just go wot in 6th and expect the banger to do much

Sometimes I wonder if you are trolling all the time but in this video you have outdone yourself

Holy shit he actually tried to race somebody in sixth gear. Then he says he doesn't understand why it's premium fuel it's a 240 crank horsepower 2 l Rob could you really not think hard enough to consider that maybe it's a fairly high compression motor and it needs 93 octane to prevent that nation? I swear to God all this guy cares about is driving a car that looks expensive he's not a fucking car guy

TLDR: Entitled old man complains that a small sports car is small...

I love how you compare a $100,000 car to a 35,000 car. All the power is high rpm and its easy to modify

Crazy to believe power is the only factor of a car and not the driving experience provided by an S2000. This isn’t a review by someone who truly understands a drivers’ car.

It’s so funny to see Rob’s opinion on the car. 🤣

It a 2000 sports car what did you expect from it

Bro... you drove an S2000 on the HIGHWAY and you're surprised you didn't like it? For your next video you should wear a winter coat in the middle of summer and complain about how it's not comfortable.

Meanwhile, the owner is relieved Rob didn't know how to kick in VTEC yo!

This car probably isn't really meant to be FAST but also it's all about the VTEC and enjoying it as a weekend car with the top down.

Not build to be a daily driver, drop some gears and Rev it out on twisty roads, some bolts and a tune make a huge difference also

you're damn near bogging this engine lmao

Nice, rest the gas cap on the paint rather than the obvious holder on the fuel door. Respect!

The VTEC on the s2000 is the best. Screams to 9000RPM

"it feels cheap compared to the NSX" that was a good joke I, for one, do not have $100,000+ just lying around for an NSX. however, I could probably buy an S2K if I saved up a little bit

This dude is as slow as a lawn mower…love the s2k.

It's not a 100k car. It's a fun little car you drive on the weekends on back roads.

Wow, it’s almost like Rob still hasn’t figured out why tuners don’t leave their cars stock 🤣

"It revs out too quick" *is literally driving a 2 litre 4 cylinder from the early 00's

In today's episode, Mr. Spaghetti picks out the spaghetti without sauce hanging off his dish and complains about the lack of sauce.

More Tiara. She gives the video a lighter tone, makes your complaining more enjoyable lmao.

I literally laughed out loud when you said Nopi Nationals. 😂

Wow. Mind blown. The S2000 isn’t as fast in a straight line on the highway as modern tweaker cars. This just in, water is wet. The sky is blue. Rob doesn’t understand how to shift. Rob also apparently doesn’t know how to corner, as the entire takedown ends with him parking after a highway run to tell us it was just too weak to track.

"we don't give Tiara's name" Proceeds to leave it in the edit......😎

It’s a fun car to drive on occasion. I’ve had two and over time they became a chore to drive. I would like to own another one here in Japan though because it’s a different experience than owning one in the states
