Fair point in the mileage. My first S was 6 years old versus a 2 year old Loti, so again, fair point.

I have to agree with you Mark about the S2000's reliability. Mine has not been great and it's still not 100%. You only need to go through this forum to find more and more tales of woe.

Don't know much at Lotus'. But car manufacturers can't get away with making "bad" cars any more. Long gone are the days of poorly fitting panels and engines that won't start when it's cold.

It's probably done well though given it's use Dave!
