Prone to rust?
Drinks 1qt oil every 1k miles?
Always buy from a dealer?

All new to me. Sure, some ap1's have issues with using oil. Yes, some as much as 1qt every 1k miles. But its news to me that its most of them, let alone most S2000's in general.

Rust? I thimk I've seen one photo of an S with any rust at all. That car had like 300k kiles on it and rust was limited to quarter panel to bumper intersection, due to gunk sitting under those black fender lip rubber liners for years. Never seen an S with undercarriage rust, other than typical surface rust on cars driven on salted roads.

Dealer cars are always perfect. Not in my experience...

The most interesting thing in that piece is the report that Bob Dylan is apparently in the s2k family. I'm gonna channel Bob next time I go out for a drive!

It is obvious to me that the article was written by someone who has not owned one. It was designed for click bait.

Useless brochure. If you are seriously considering an S2000 you probably know all of these basic things already.

Because Internet Brands Inc says so.

#9 - If you read clickbait articles you get eye herpes.

#10 - Owning a S2000 will make you more attractive to the opposite sex, the same sex, non-sexually identifying humans and some alien life forms. This may not be for everyone, so test drive before you buy.
