Honda S2000: Fifth Place
Honda's roadster sports a marvelous engine, producing 240 horsepower from just 2.0 liters and four cylinders without a turbocharger or other power-boosting device. But the car is cramped, with a choppy ride and a rough suspension. It's a rear-wheel-drive car, as are the others, with the exception of the Audi. The S2000 can be fun on a brief, fast ride, but the key word is "brief."
Brief? BRIEF??!!




What kind of were they ?

Remember the name of the mag "Smart Money" that translates to how many cup holders you get for your money! They take the money they save and drive to the mall, the TT probably is the best car for that purpose! You can't take the list seriously when it basically has two identical cars (G35 and 350Z) on the same list. I think the S2K does ride "stiff", but that's the way some of us like it. And the guy above that said the Z4 is slow....it's not, ugly as hell, but not slow.

They tested the G35 but didn't test the Boxster, Miata, or Mustang? Who put this group of "sports cars" together?

1st place - Audi TT Coupe Quattro - 5 stars
2nd place - Nissan 350Z Touring - 4 stars
3rd place - BMW Z4 3.0i - 4 stars
4th place - Infiniti G35 Coupe - 3 stars
5th place - S2000 - 2 stars

If you have a chance to look at the article, it's worth a laugh.
