Safety - What the Auto Press Says

Though the 2009 Honda S2000 features such standard safety features as dual front airbags and side-impact door beams, some reviewers complain of its lack of side airbags and a front passenger airbag switch. Still, the S2000 performs well in crash tests conducted by the federal government -- earning four of five stars in frontal impacts and five stars in side driver impacts.It gets a five-star rollover rating.

  • "Top-up visibility not great over the shoulder, but better than in many rivals." -- Consumer Guide
  • The "S2000 has one glaring deficiency: No turnoff switch for the passenger frontal airbag, which means it can be dangerous for young ones to ride in this car. ... Pressed on this issue, a Honda spokesman said drivers shouldn't take children in this car." -- MSN
