On this I have to disagree.
For me the MR2 Spyder had a far superior top design.
Honda's top folds in such a way that the inside of the top faces up when the top is down, thus if you do not use that damnn tonneau cover the inside of your roof get's all dusty.
Toyota's top folds in such a way that the outside of the top faces up when the top is down, so the tonneau cover is not neede, and any dirt that gets onto the top is kept on the outside of the car.
This superior idea was then copied by BMW for their Z4...



^ Much better design than S2000 when it comes to the folding top.

As this is trunk related, I love the S's trunk.

I took out the tool tray, wrapped all the tools up in an old pair of jeans and have that stuffed in the well of the spare tire.

Then without the tool tray I can pop into the trunk a 14-gallon or even an 18-gallon Rubbermaid tote. Not only does this hep me to pack things tighter so they don't fly all around, but when I'm transporting dirty things or fluid things I never have to worry about my trunk getting messed up.

Fits perfect - 18-gal or 14-gal, with the cover on!

Porsche tops also work similarly.

Please do not pick on Saturn. A very, very short time ago, there were 425 Saturn dealerships. Now, there are only 375. In a few weeks, as GM prepares to announce its discontinuance/sale, the number will be even smaller. Let them die in peace, I beg of you. Oh, the humanity!......

S2000's trunk is reasonable compared to a 350Z's or Z4's.

No proper roadster owner should EVER have to choose between bringing luggage for a trip or putting the roof down. Not having it.

Some of my most enjoyable moments with the S have involved throwing a couple weekend bags/coolers/chairs in the trunk, putting the roof down and hitting the open road.

How anyone could buy a roadster that wouldn't allow that is beyond me. Maybe that's why I always see the Kappa twins with their roofs up.

I'd heard they were bad, but that's just horrible. I've got no problem with a manual top, even prefer it (less weight, less stuff to break), but you definitely shouldn't have to get out of the car to drop the top and it definitely shouldn't consume your entire trunk, haha. Engineering fail.
