Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Honda S2000 and the average convertible likely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The average convertible's engine is considerably bigger than the Honda S2000's. Remember that more massive engines may use more gas than smaller ones. The average convertible packs quite a wallop compared to the Honda S2000 regarding torque, which is roughly equivalent to acceleration. Torque equals pickup, and the average convertible will have picked up and gone by the time the Honda S2000 finally gets moving.

Utility
The typical convertible will quite certainly prove more practical than the Honda S2000 for those of you with frequent child-cargo.

Convenience
You will most certainly have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the S2000 than with the average convertible.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the average convertible's front cabin compared to the Honda S2000.

Dimensions
The average convertible is tremendously more bulky than the Honda S2000. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the typical convertible than the Honda S2000 because of its bigger tank. The Honda S2000 and the average convertible compete for the same parking spaces. The typical convertible's longer wheelbase will likely result in a smoother, more stable ride; however, the Honda S2000 may give a nimbler feel in daily traffic.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Honda S2000 to the dealership as the average convertible. There honestly isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the typical convertible is a tad more economical than the Honda S2000. Regarding MSRP, the typical convertible costs substantially more than the Honda S2000.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the S2000 isn't quite as generous as the typical convertible's.
