The good: A howling VTEC power plant gives the four-cylinder 2006 Honda S2000 performance equal to its V-6 competitors. Go-kart handling and a sweet sporty shifter add the confidence to open it up.
The bad: A bizarre arrangement of buttons for stereo and climate control are the main tech features of the S2000's claustrophobic cabin. Peak performance arrives at an eye-popping 7,800rpm, meaning that you need a clear road or a private racetrack to get the most out of the engine.
The bottom line: The 2006 Honda S2000 is a pure driver's car, designed for those who think that cabin entertainment starts and ends with a short-throw manual shifter. Some bizarre remote controls and a cramped cabin are all but forgotten when the open road beckons.
