Honda S2000

Long-running roadster with fabulous 237bhp four-cylinder engine, revised for the 2008 model year with new dampers, spring settings and revised anti-roll bar to give more predictable handling plus more communicative steering; it’s now easier than ever to exploit the sparkling performance of this often-overlooked gem.

There are also new five-spoke alloys. The Roadster starts at £28,050, with the GT £550 more.
