Drawbacks
For me there are three primary drawbacks to owning an S2000. The first drawback of ownership is the attention this car gets when I drive it. Prior to this car, I have never had people beeping at me on the expressway,expressing signs of approval, slowing down next to me, or asking me if I want to race. Don't get me wrong, some attention is fine but there exists a dark side that makes me not want to leave the car unattended. Hence, I only drive it for enjoyment. It has become a "second" car that is garaged and kept out of sight. The second drawback is the utility of this vehicle. The utility of a two seater convertable with limited truck space is obvious and expected. Unfortunatley and fortunatly for me I acquired land that exists at the end of a two mile dirt road that has a driveway that even a 4X4 vehicle has trouble traversing. This is no place for an S. The third drawback is that the limits of the car far exceed the legal limits of the roads I drive. My truck challenges me at speeds much closer to the posted speeds then my S ever will. I drive the S with much more attention to law enforcement than I would when I drive my truck. I don't like tickets and I don't have an cousin Vinny. I still love the S2000 but I wish I lived next to a track.
