The cliche that you only get one time to make a first impression holds true. This is really an impression, not a review, and certainly valuable in that respect. I can forgive the "rear heat."

Something about him annoys the s*** out of me. I stopped watching his videos long ago.

 

I always close the video when he gets to the scoring part it feels like padding for his videos. I was also disappointed he missed quite a bit on the S2000. He does look at some interesting cars though so I usually watch the ones about the weirder or more exotic stuff he looks at.

 

I actually think his review was spot on - especially when you don't watch or take into consideration his "score". Much of his impressions were the same as mine when I first drove the S2000.
As for his actual scores... I think a low "features" score is actually why many people buy the car which in my mind for this type of car the lower the "features" score the better. Same goes for "practicality" - though I will say I find this car much more practical than the 78' MBG I drove around during my teens.

 

He's reminds me of those big-time dorks in school.

 

It's always sweet when you get the thumbs up or someone comes over to talk about the S2k. Because when they know, they know....

 

^Yes sir and didn't know Jeremy Clarkson championed the S2000 might rewatch some old top gear to see some of that affirmation ha. Also I think all forms of roadsters in general are disliked in the states.

 

Not a week goes by when someone doesn't give me thumbs up or yell out "nice car."
As far as practicality goes, I agree with Mr. Funk. This car is waaaay more practical than the Austin Healy Sprite I drove in my 20s. But, I didn't buy either car for its practicality.

 

yes sir, Here is a good episode - pick up around 38 minutes in.
