Long-term update: Honda S2000 still the cheapest sports car to service
Ah, our Honda S2000 — a pain to drive daily, a pain to keep its roof in good shape, and a pain to keep dings at bay. But damn is it cheap to service.
We just had a major service done at the dealer, and it cost us just Dhs 1055, including wipers, synthetic oil and all sorts of fluids. That’s about as much as a minor service for the Toyota 86. Or about as much as a major service on a basic Honda City!
The Honda dealer is known for its “high” service charges on its regular cars, but heck, we’re not bothered.

Well the service for a Mustang costs much less than that and I am pretty sure for other parts too (2005-09) but it is a muscle car…

Would help if you gave some numbers. I doubt you take that thing to the dealer.
Prasannah
It is between 550 to 600 Dhs.
I hope that helps!

Sounds like the price of just a minor service. How much for major service? And a lot more stuff breaks down in a Mustang.
Prasannah
…and yes it is the dealer price.

If you accept that my G35 its a sports sedan and a premium brand, the service costs less than your Honda. Change of oil, filter, transmission oil and diff oil cost me only 800 dhs at the dealer. It was also synthetic oil, to be changed every 10k kms.
Also, what exactly did your Honda service consist of? Gve us full info, so we can have a better ideea and compare.

The G35 is not a sports car.

Ok…….keep in mind these numbers…..300hp, RWD, V6, 0-100kms in 6 sec. You don’t coonsider these sports car performance? Anyway, the point was the cost of the service.

AED 800 for a major service?
Halloumi
Everything with those specs is not a SPORTS CAR. And that’s not a major service. You saying Infiniti major service costs more than a Honda City?

S2000 minor service used to cost 350 dhms.
Yes the cheapest and most reliable sports car.
Had it for 3 years, didn’t need more than the regular service.
