Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Manual 6-spd

The 2007 Honda S2000 is a two‑seat passenger car equipped with a six‑speed manual transmission and an EPA fuel‑economy rating of 18/24/20 mpg. It garnered only three owner complaints that year, with the power train cited as the primary issue area and a single recall on record. Compared with the model’s complaint history from 2000‑2008—where the 2000 model logged 46 complaints—the 2007 version represents the low point, suggesting a notable step in reliability for the S2000 line.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 Honda S2000 recorded 3 complaints, 1 recall, and 9 total service bulletins in the federal database. That complaint count is markedly lower than the 10 complaints and 2 recalls seen in the preceding 2006 model year, and comparable to the 3 complaints in the following 2008 model year. The single recall in 2007 was linked to three complaint categories, each accounting for one complaint. Across the generation, complaint volume peaked in 2004 with 5 complaints and has been declining steadily through 2007. Consequently, the 2007 model year appears to be a solid choice for a used purchase, provided the vehicle’s maintenance records are reviewed.
