What Do You Want To Know About the Honda S660?
What Do You Want To Know About the Honda S660?-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:53

Konnichiwa, ! I picked this guy up earlier today and will be living with it for a few days. At last, you’ll get a Jalopnik Review of Honda’s new micro-sports car. As this is a car Japan selfishly keeps to itself and does not export (officially), tell me what you want to know more about it.

This isn’t my first experience with the S660. I had a short drive in one back in 2015 after it was first launched. After seeing the concept car at that year’s Tokyo Auto Salon I knew I had to try one out. But I’m willing to take one for the team and try the S660 again to let you know more about it. You’re welcome, Americans.

The car Honda Japan have very kindly lent me is the top spec Alpha trim painted in a lovely Premium Beach Blue Pearl color. It’s only available as a soft-top targa body style. It’s a six-speed manual.

You also get the choice of a CVT, but why would you?

The S660 is powered by a humble 660cc three-cylinder turbo unit. Power is rated at a thundering 64 horsepower and torque is an earth-shaking 77 lb-ft. It’s all part of the Kei-car regulations this car falls under, hence the yellow number plates.

Prices start from ¥1,980,000, or about $17,780. So, what would you like to know more about Honda’s pint-sized sports car and what should I include in the review?

This One-off Coachbuilt Ferrari Shooting Brake Should Be Your Next Family Car
Having started life as a red Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 with gorgeous Pininfarina bodywork, this chassis was delivered to its first owner in the U.S. through Luigi Chinetti’s dealer looking very different than it does now. When that first owner traded in the 1965 model two years in, Chinetti didn’t...

Dealership Caught Taking Customer's Corvette on 90+ MPH Joyride (UPDATED)
Dealership Caught Taking Customer's Corvette on 90+ MPH Joyride (UPDATED)
I think it’s telling that all of us here at Jalopnik were going back-and-forth about whether or not to write up this story of a dealership speeding in a customer’s car, mostly because we’ve seen so of dealership abuse. But that’s just us being jaded. Really, it’s worth calling out...

The takes an already-great, sharply styled tiny convertible and adds even more power. It’s a great buy. But the sports an updated look, has even more power and is probably the best-driving hatchback on the road without even trying too hard—but it’s not a true sports car. So if you’re...

At $13,250, Would Buying This 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra Mean That You Can Tell Shit From Shinoda?
Larry Shinoda worked on two of the most iconic cars in American automotive history—the Chevy Corvette, and Ford Mustang. Today’s Mustang Cobra is from the year of Shinoda’s passing. Will its price however, get a pass? I didn’t have the first clue as to what I would do with yesterday’s...

Canada Needs To Unload Hundreds of Nearly New Chrysler 300s and Chevy Suburbans
When Canada hosted the G7 political summit earlier this summer, someone thought it was a good idea to buy hundreds of brand-new 3.6-liter V6 2018 s, s and others. Now Canada is selling them off with holes in the bumpers, low mileage and pretty good prices. Do you want a...

At $8,495, Would This Armored 1990 Jeep Wagoneer Limited Prove a Safe Bet?
We live in interesting times and that calls for a car that can get you out of trouble when the shit goes down—a car like today’s armored Jeep. Let’s see if its bullet resistance makes its price a hit it can also withstand. You know, it’s frustrating when we lament...
