16: Honda S2000
The S2000 is perhaps one of the most unique sports cars of the early 2000s. The fact that Honda was releasing a two-door roadster was followed by much fanfare. To all accounts, the S2000 was a beautiful sports car with a minimalist design. You won’t find a powerful engine or expensive turbo under the hood. But what you will find is a car that offers a stellar amount of bang for the buck (via Car & Driver).

The S2000 was a minimalist sports car with a barebones interior and a clean, unassuming exterior design. But what the car fell short for in terms of styling is that it made up for honest road manners and a fun-to-drive demeanor. You won’t find a more honest sports car for the price that’s cheap to own and easy to maintain.
