The S2000 is not much fun, or worth your price, if you are going to drive it in a straight-line, or in traffic. Then it's just a car.

...but if you can take it on curvy roads, where no one is in your way, Yi Ha! It's a blast! So much fun!

My/our '01 Silverstone will be 5 years old on Saturday, and it's the most fun thing I've ever owned.

But then, I live amongst curvy canyons and mountain roads all around me, so I every time I play with it, or now, my '05 Suzuka.

If you want a car that is quiet
no!
If you want a car that is useful
no!
If you want a car that has lots of room
no!
If you want a car that people do not look at
no!

For 50k canadian there are alot of cars that will be nice and look good,but none of them is a S2000

IMO I love my S every time I drive, its so hard not to drive fast.

In the Netherlands a new S2000 will set you back a small 49000 euro's.
I US$ that is a good $ 59000.
Thats why I (had to) buy my S second hand and 4-and-a-bit years old for about the new US price.
And it was worth it for me!

But please do not complain about US or Canada car prices.

And DO NOT EVEN START about fuel prices.

In Holland roughly 42% of the "out the door" price is several types of taxes.

S2000 boi, you have been asking some really retarded questions since you joined. Maybe you should wait until you can change your name to S2000 Man.

Based on the high number of questions you've asked in your very short time here (most of them being ........... well .............. I'll refrain from using the term "retarded", but that comes pretty close), you are in for a world of hurt if you buy this car. First, you are trying to learn how to drive stick on the internet. Next, you've got this car modded up to the nuts even before you even have one or know how to drive it.
The S2000 will drive you insane and eventually drive us insane. At the very least, you will be asking 20 times a day "Is this normal?" or "What's this noise?"
I would suggest you go buy an automatic 350Z. I believe it will fulfill the "image" that you seem so desparate to have.
