After I took the S out for a test drive, that was it I was hooked. I was worried about what my wife would say because of all the reasons you stated (except the style). I bribed her to come to the dealership, put her behind the wheel and she went for a test drive. When she came back, all I could see was a huge smile behind the wheel...she said buy it now or don't come home!

I am very lucky.

 

You mean your "ex" girlfriend doesn't like your s2000.

 

Judging by your post she sure does complain a lot. If it is only the car she is complaining about then it's a problem for sure. If it is in her nature to complain in general then you have a bigger problem. Perhaps you aren't compatible, need a new girlfriend or a second car? Nobody should have to put up with complaining from their other half. Life is too short for these kind of things.

 

If she complains this much at this stage of the relationship. Imagine later on.

 

Wow, those are comment's i've never heard about the s2000. But i have the same situation..... sort of. The most important woman in my life.... my mother, hates the car. We bought it in her name for her to drive all summer instead of her beloved mini-van. My father and I spend hours dropping hints for her to drive or even ride in the car on the nice days. She just doesn't take to it, won't list reasons she just doens't like it. Her minivan is her car of choice. We bought 2 cars within 1 week. An S2000 and a used Yukon. The Yukon we needed to tow a boat this spring and the S we bought cause well, I loved it and so did my father. My mother won't drive either of the cars, she will drive the van or the Crown Victoria. I don't understand it. She will only drive the underpowered usless car??? But my father and I have a great time in the other three power houses. Women, can't live without em.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone.

I guess I will try to find out is she really dont like my car or just her nature to complain about, and let her know the car is special to me.
or maybe let her drive my car more often. (Oh no, she's going to burn my clutch)

if that doesn't work out then I have to find another...

by the way, my girlfriend drives a SLK 320.

 

My GF loves the car. When I was contemplating buying it, she told me I should if I really wanted it. We recently went through a bit of "rough road", but are back on "smooth pavement".

She was kidding around the other day and said I couldn't break up with her until at least next fall so she could get the summer in the passenger seat of the S2000.

She really knows how to sweet talk me.

(She can afford to buy her own if she wanted to. Think our SO's don't know how we feel about this car???)

 

My gf will admit that the car is what hooked her in and keeps her from leaving ....LOLOLOLOL.....she's a riot, i tell ya! She's kidding, I hope?! LOLOLOLOL

 

I can't see my Mom liking an S2000 either. She doesn't really care about performance, speed, handling, lateral g's, redlines, or VTEC.

C'mon guys, the S2000 is a niche car. Many other people have very different tastes and priorities -- to each his own.
