Just so you know, I traded my 328i sport package for my Accord. The BMW was nice, but it was 3 times as expensive maintainence wise than the Honda. I was given an M3 coupe as a loaner when the BMW was in the shop ( a regular occurance) and it wasn't even close to performing like my S2000. Does that mean I go around saying BMWs a POS? No.

My advice to you: Grow up.

Hey guys i'm new and love the S2000. I'm getting a used '00 s2000 in about a week and was a bit concerned about the handling since this will be my frist rearwheel drive car (i had a civic si, and rsx s before). I've heard the car needs some experience to drive and was scared i might do something stupid since its my frist rearwheel drive car. Any imput will be appreciated. Thanks.

s2k007 -

what xviper said.

as with any car, stay within your abilities. You'll learn the car in no time. I personally dislike front wheel drive, and I don't think you'll have too much trouble adjusting to rwd. I could drive my BMW at the limit, but for now, with the s2000, I reach my limits before I reach the cars limits....

have fun!!!

The service records should indicate whether the prev. owner did good maintenance. If recent spark plug recall was not done, be sure to bring your car into a Honda dealer for new plugs.

Good luck, 007. Post a pic when you've got your wheels!
