  • These guys r full of shit,the s2000has 240bhp not 220.and accelerate takes 6.1 seconds not 5.5!!

  • Black is the worse colour in the pre-face ep3 IMO. Red and silver for the win

  • haha Vicky you little liar 0-62 in 6,8 woulden't think so moore like 6,2 or less depending on driver.

  • clutch is wear and tear? only if someone's clutch meet is atrocious....

  • Hondas are reliable. I have a 2002 Acura RSX which has the sam engine as a Civic Type-R It's been reliable, no engine problems and it's turbocharged. Just regular wear and tear like brakes and the clutch.

  • fake

  • @linn1000 Fair enough although I think the torque argument has been done to death. In the powerband the S2000 goes very well - whether or not you like that style of driving is a personal preference. I don't think there's any comparison to a 997 S either but then as you pointed out moneywise that's a completely different kettle of fish.

  • @linn1000 You must have bought some pretty awful examples. The S2000 broke down too?

  • Couple of big factors going against the S2000 here. FWD cars are always easier to drive on the limit in wet conditions like this. Secondly this is a 1st gen S2000 with the smaller 16" wheel/tyre combo, just 205F and 225R. The 17" combo of 215/245 gives significantly more grip especially at the rear end.

  • when idiots drive s2000 thats so happens that it lost...

  • leave traction control off? what traction control?

  • Screw the car, gimme a ride on VBH.

  • actually its got 40bhp more you thick chav

  • @mazulises ...... the Type R is also V-tec, so apart from the other differences mentione, IE 6 gears etc, it's all the same amazing technology, just with a bigger engine, so simply has more grunt even before the v-tec steps in and just makes it all go beuzerk

  • 2:43 repeat haha

  • love my type r,  honda power...

  • I want a damn type r so bad, but for some reason they dont sell them in Canada with LHD and the SIR's in Canada look nothing like Type R's.

  • Recently sold my 2002 Impreza STI PPP as it was too thirsty as a daily driver. I wanted something cheaper and more economical but still a serious driver's car so I got an EP3 Civic Type R instead, and so far I have no regrets.

    The Type R is just so much fun to drive. :-)

  • @Vesuvio360 is the sti alot quicker than the type r??

  • @vteckicksarse... yes, the STi is a lot quicker, especially off the lights it is blistering. Not really a fair comparison. But I find the Civic just as much fun in it's own way. Its nimble, and feels urgent and energetic. And unlike a Turbo engine it really loves being thrashed to the redline (as long as you maintain it well and keep an eye on the oil levels).

  • @Vesuvio360 sold my 2004 sti ppp for the same reason 60pounds a week on fuel just cudnt do it,so got my self a 2005 ep3 prem edition and so far no regrets or tho i miss the torque of my scooby i had 330ft/lbs of it..

  • Honda civic type r modell 2002 is faster to moddell 2001,2003,2004..but in the start the driver from civic sleept the start. sorry for my bad english:)

  • @1hit1derz Road & Track took the S2000 to a 0-60mph sprint in 5.4 seconds back in 2005. Many publications test the S2000 0-60 under 6 seconds, usually in the 5.4s-5.7s range. To get those numbers, however, requires a 6000-7000 rpm launch while dumping the clutch.

  • I've got the s2000 at the moment after selling a grey type r, even tho i love the s2000 the type r still had a great feeling too it that the s2000 misses. I loved the gear nob central and the seats compared to the s2k. Still both great cars, would have the type r back any day

  • The Toyota had better brakes than the Civic?

    wtf

  • funny my s2000 is alot faster then my old type r!

  • @lcplpeach

    You notice how this video is full of errors tho, he says the s2000 only has around 20bhp more than the civic when infact its 40bhp more and the 0-60 in the s2000 is 6.0 not 5.5. The only thing this video shows is how much better a driver Jason is to the other guy.

    You having owned both cars will know the difference tho ;)

  • That civic looks like the ugliest thing though.

  • 40hp more not 20!!!

  • the driver to the s2000 seems scared of oversteer.

  • Whats this moron on about?? Only got 20bhp more?! Try 40! Wish people would get their facts straight! And yeah the s2k would smoke it on a dry track and in a straight line

  • if it wasnt raining i think the s2k should've won

  • she is very hot.

    I love her pommy accent too.

  • 04 have VSA but this is a 51 S2000!!

  • It's a European model...there is a chance they have VSA....or some sort of traction control...

    Or maybe the bloke was a fool and turned off his cruise control! haha

  • dude with all that 300hp worth of mods your car is still just a boring SAAB 5-door...

    no one wants it

  • Wow! 5 doors AND a lot of luggage? That's awesome, where do I get one of those beauties? Actually forget it, I'll just go for a Nissan Prairie and then post on a bunch of SAAB videos about how MY car is so much more practical. Because that will make me look cool, right?

  • Fool!

  • You're a fool, I eat s2000 pieces of sh*t for breakfast. When you flip you S2000 soft top over, scrape all your brains out onto the asphalt, then we'll see who's the fool, fool.

  • Fool...do research before you talk smack!

    Your grocery getter has nothing on s2000's!

    And guess what...s2k's come stock with roll's support's higher than your seat! O.O

    Betchya didn't know that did ya?

    So, sorry fool's should stay quiet...so just get into you 4-door saloon and go buy some groceries!

  • End this childish argument NOW. Look up Boxster S: Chasing a Mazdaspeed 3 and tell me whether your Honda has anything on that Boxter S. Keep in mind that my Viggen has more power than the Mazdaspeed 3 in that video and fully adjustable suspension components to eliminate understeer and roll. Your S2000 only has 240 hp and that's pitiful for a car that's supposed to be a "sports car." And also keep in mind that when you roll or soft top S2000, YOU WILL SPLATTER YOUR BRAINS ALL OVER THE ROAD.

  • Childish argument, Yes

    You are a Ricer, you think just because your grocery getter has part's it will beat cars!

    A boxster S is a sad car!

    It lost against the BMW z4, and the S2000.

    Also, the Miata is a worse car than the s2000...so why would you put a chick car against the s2000?

    And your are ignorant, I told you to look up the roll bar's behind the s2000's seat's, and unless your freaking 6'4 and don't have your seatbelt's you will be fine!

    So please, save yourself the embarrassment and stop.

  • Listen, those roll bars behind the seat in an S2000 are nothing but a gimmick. Even the ones that put up are not going to save your skull from being crushed into a curb on the side of the road. I happen to know people that rolled a convertible with pop up roll bars and had massive head trauma. If you put your faith into a little shitty gimmick, you'll end up in a box and all your racing fantasies will be extinguished in a second.

  • Ehh...I conclude one thing from this convo...

    1. You bragged abour a Saab you never had...

    2. You said you love the Porsche Boxter....which is an s2000 only a bit worse..

    3. You keep dogging on s2000's...So I'm guessing either you hate someone with an s2000 or that one day a s2000 smoked your buick in a race...

    And the Roll bar's are proven to work, and if you have your seatbelt your fine...

    And all the s2k's that race have a full roll cage or have a hard top.

    So please please do research!

  • Look, I don't need to brag about anything. All I'm trying to say is that my family car could murder this so called "sports car." The S2000 is a soft top and when you put a hardtop on it, it will only collapse in a rollover and your head will be smashed in, your arms will to ground to a dust when they're flopping around when you're rolling. I tolled you before that I know people who had died in a soft top rollover.

  • some ppl talk shit on youtube.

    saab's are wank

  • Also, my family owns 4 SAAB cars. 2002 SAAB 9-5 Aero wagon, 2004 9-5 Aero wagon, 2002 Viggen 5-door, 1997 900 SE. I owned other makes of cars such as Mercedes, Mazda, Ford Mustang, etc., and am happy to report that our current cars get better gas mileage, they have better brakes/handling, they have better passive safety, way more spacious/practical and enough power to embarrass a lot of "sports cars." Do you want me to send you photos of all of the cars we own? Are you that shallow?

  • Wow your a Saab Whore...got ya, so that mean's there is no reason to argue with you due to the fact that you will be ignorant!

    And plus, your Saab will roll over before an s2k can even get on 2 wheel's...so please...stop trying to make your saloon look good..

    And you said you don't need to brag?

    Guess what your doing?...bragging...and your trying to prove things that have no meaning...like I care that you have saab's...

    Their still crappy 4-door POS's.

    And my S cost me 8k...so it's not expensive

  • Look, I'm happy for you that you managed to get your S for 8K. If your S wasn't a soft top and had an actual metal roof that was fixed to the A and B pillars, it would be very safe in a roll over. See, when you roll a convertible, your A pillar (wind screen pillar) collapses and there isn't any support to prevent your face/skull from scrapping the road. All I'm saying is that the S is somewhat of an under achiever for the class it wants to fill.

  • My next project car will be a 2008+ Subaru STI. I'm going to change out the suspension, anti roll bars, a lot of engine components, etc., to make it into a 450-550 hp grocery getter. And when you put a nimble AWD rally machine against most RWD poser mobiles, it would slaughter them. Don't drive your S too fast because the most stable cars have a risk of rolling and then you're screwed.

  • Maybe that's how it is with other roadsters...

    But I know people personally who rolled it from hitting a curb...their fine!

    The A pillar is super strong on it!

    And like you said, an STI should stay in Rally, cause that's what it was designed for, and an s2000 with 400+ hp does magic on the track, AWD and 4-door should stay in Rally!

    But good luck with the STI...

    I feel safe and happy with my S's performance!

    Safe and agile!

    But the Sti is nice, so good luck, I'm sure it's gonna be nice!

  • i've never seen a hard top s2k.

  • @sxsv1 The hard top is removable. The one in the video is the Honda unit - there are a few other 3rd party tops as well. I have one and it's great in the winter here in the Northwest ;)

  • where's the s2000's traction control? I can't find it on mine!

    How much power do both cars have, well he says the s2k has 20 more but my civic was 197 and the S is 240!!

  • only 2004 or after models

  • vicki should have driven the s2k....i'm sure she's a damn better driver than the other guy.

  • the s2k needs a better driver

  • wtf just happened there?

  • I always remember this clip when it was aired....astounding...CTR beats the S round the track....well...the key reason why is as they said TRACTION....front-mid-engine-R­WD versus Front-engine-FWD = the CTR has the advantage in the wet with the engine/gearbox weight over the driving wheels...in the dry my £ is on the S

  • I love it when she drives Hondas, she has all these great things to say, and she's hot as well.

  • top gear=amazing

    this=shit

  • True Top Gear better then 4th Gear and 5 Gear, Fifth Gear better then 4th gear. lol

  • lol...agree.

  • vtec old style rulessssssssssssssss!!!

  • errrrr no the s2000 has 240bhp

  • @gordycpk he said about 20 more hp which puts at 220 bhp. sounds right to me.

    the type r is 197 bhp. now the sir (in canada) is a mild version which only offers 160bhp (damn it). i hate it how sick trims never make their way to north america. not every one is american shit box lovers out here!! helloooooooo

  • @Shuffle3956

    he was wrong in the video. The S2000 is 240bhp, so he should have said 40 bhp more, not 20 bhp.

  • Just because there is more bhp does'nt mean its quicker. Weight, dynamics, grip, efficiency all come into play. If you were right a Bently would beat an Ariel Atom round a track.

  • you can have 100hp, 200hp more...or whatever, all depends on the driver too. not just the car. the s2000 had less traction in the wet...

  • -> Both cars are excellent, and I have an S2K! I'd get an CTR as my DD anyday!

  • Thank you =]

  • What different bewtween 1.6vtec honda ant 2.0 type r just engine ?

  • Engine (1.6 to 2.0), gearbox (5speed to 6speed), interior (different seats, door cards, gear knob and steering wheel), suspension (stiffer anti-roll bars and shocks), brakes (bigger).

    Probably a few more but that'll do for an idea.

  • put it like this you wont have half as much fun with the 1.6 as ya would with the daddy lol

  • @djloxo you cant even get the EP3 in non TypeR

  • @MWImmortalking Oh you can, the US Si and Type S and Canadian SiR have an EP3 chassis code.

    The info is on wikipedia, just search for "Honda Civic Si", youtube won't allow a link.

  • @djloxo Oh whoops I meant you cant get it in non TypeR/Si/SiR ie there is no DX/LX/EX

  • @djloxo

    Chassis and engine is something diffrent ;)

  • @mazulises hatchbacks from 03'-11' cume with 2.0 bigger and better higher rpms

  • Dude..Jason is BTCC driver...are u fuckin sirs?!!?

  • Yeah, and you can do better huh?

  • search 4 keiichi tsuchiya and you know how i would drive those cars... the drivers in this video drive like they were sleeping

  • EP3 is better on track then the s2k if yall knew that.

  • the guy in the s2000 said lets keep the traction control of , the s2000 did not have traction control till 2006 so whats he talking about i know cos i own one

  • s2000 much faster n better lookin that that ugly fish car lol... they guy in s2000 seems doesnt kno how to drive

  • OMG....the s2000 driver was garbage
