Honda S2000 owners have reported a total of 132 problems for their cars built in the 9 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Honda S2000. The 2000 Honda S2000 cars have the most problems reported (53 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2008 S2000 | |
| 2007 S2000 | |
| 2006 S2000 | |
| 2005 S2000 | |
| 2004 S2000 | |
| 2003 S2000 | |
| 2002 S2000 | |
| 2001 S2000 | |
| 2000 S2000 |
The following chart shows the 18 most common problems for Honda S2000 cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's engine and engine cooling (22 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's power train (20 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Honda S2000 of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across S2000 model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Honda S2000 model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
