Drive one and do what makes you happy. The S2000 was my first FR car and I got used to the power pretty quick. You just have to slow down when its wet out and when its icy it really sucks. Other than that love the car and wouldn't go back.

Oh, OK. Thanks.

Well, rear-wheel drive (RWD) is really the issue here JdmClns2k. This car requires respect and time to learn the handling characteristics. If you've never driven RWD, please don't push it until you get familiar with it. This isn't unique to the S2000, but it's a big change from front-wheel drive.

Best wishes. Once you've had RWD, you'll never miss your RSX!

I had a Type S for a while. Sure, it was quick and a good DD, but it was no S2000.
