Welcome...you also have to be prepared to give up two doors and a back seat when going from the RX-8 sedan to the S2000 sports car.

Just kidding...welcome aboard, you'll love the ride.

one other thing, having only been on a test drive i didnt fully notice, is there a lot of wind noise from the hood (up) when driving motorways?

Hmmm...separated by a common language? Love the British car terms...bonnet, boot, hood, wings

Compared to the RX8, the s2k will have more wind noise even with the hood/top up. A removable hard top is an option...but even then there will be a bit more wind noise. Risks of owning a roadster. The fix is to run with the top down as much as possible...then the wind noise with the top up won't seem as bad.
