Yeah the implementation of DBW on the S was excellent. I've driven newer cars with DBW which wasn't done as well as the S.

DWB works great on both my S and my Accord. I love the silky pedal feel.

i've owned an AP1 and currently a 07 DBW s2000...

hondas execution for the DBW on the s2000 is perfect..responds to all my throttle inputs and revmatching perfectly...

I had DBW in my 04 TSX and did not like the combo of DBW and the Traction contol. Remember that was one of Honda's firts shots at DBW and the issues I had are probably why the S did not get it unil 06.

I also had this in my 2005 TSX...I didn't have a problem with it though. I honestly don't find that much of a difference to be honest.

I think many of us with DBW are seldom if ever noticing any engine lag when engaging the AC system. I attribute this little plus to DBW.

Had a MY01. Brother had a MY02. I now have a MY07. There is a small difference, but barely noticeable.

DBW in the S2000 is much better than other applications I've driven.

no issues here. you won't have to tighten it later on down the road either.

biggest issue is you need a flash or kpro if you go FI, though that might change...
