Sounds ot me like this guy got a bad apple... Tons of things he is bitching about that don't happen with mine. For instance, the latches rattling when you drop the top?!
"Anyway, no matter how you generate your speed, the S2000 rewards your efforts. The RWD roadster is "front mid-engined" with a compact double wishbone suspension and 16

The people on that site are complete fricking idiots. IMO if they give a crappy review of a car, it's actually better praise than a good review from another site. Check out this example of idiotic thinking:

Pop the top and you trade one problem for another; the catches that secured the roof to the windscreen rattle incessantly, just inches behind your head

I suspect that after he unlatched the top he didn't snap them back into the secure position. That would cause incessant rattling.
It's people like this that make me scared to drive on the road. Either he was extremely bitter or he was stupid. If it's what I'm assume, which is the former, then OK.... However, if it's the latter, I'm avoiding driving when he's on the road.
I love his review of the "Manual Transmission"...
"Once underway, the dance of the feet begins anew-- except now the driver must use his or her right hand to move the shift lever in coordination with his or her feet. The lack of a foot available for the brake pedal is even more critical since the car is now moving faster, and the driver is now steering with one hand.
Consider that this has to happen five or six times just to get to cruising speed, requiring driver concentration at some level. The amount of distraction caused by downshifting, shifting while turning a corner, and so on is even greater. Heaven help the chicken that decides to cross the road in front of a driver using a manual transmission.
A skinned Mercedes CLK automatic transmission. That's better!
Contrast this process with the fine art of driving an automatic transmission. The driver slips the shifter into drive and presses the accelerator. He

These guys don't deserve any credibility on their reviews. They sound like a bunch of old fat kids still living with their parents and griping about having to change gears. God forbid they have to move their hands out of the Dunkin Donuts box to change the gear. Wait, what am I thinking? They probably have some sort of rig that injects the Donuts straight up their ass because Chewing takes up too much effort and digestion is a bitch as well.
How bout you give this guy an automatic CLK 320, hell give him a
ing 55AMG with the Speedshift crap, put him on the Dragon (Tail of the Dragon or whatever) and give me a gun and my car... Then tell him to haul ass or I'm gonna shoot him...

Yessss I like that...then we can see how well he does in his Automatic and I do with my antiquated transmission and my diminished ability to control my car since I have to use both feet and i have to keep shifting
