I could complain about the half dozen or so defects that came with my S2000 -- but first on my list is the lack of dealer service and knowledge ... service is lousy and they know little to nothing about this car. At the 15,000 check up they left the oil fill cap off the engine, differential fill bolt nearly fully unscrewed and it was not filled properly, all four caps for the tire stems were not screwed on . . . plus they screwed up the inflation on all four tires ... they are stalling on the tsb on the A/C leak. Yet they continue to bribe me with a "free" detail job if Honda N A sends me a questionaire ... all I have to do is surrender it to the dealer! No questionaire yet. Welcome to post-modern USA .. all that seems to matter is the facade ... to use a metaphor: where's the beef? It's not the bun that matters. But this seems to be lost to corporations run by MBA's with no in the trench experience. Life is NOT a computer model!

Sorry about you service dealings. However, how about the car?

I was having a tough time until I saw this... I hate that pretty much every S2k accident is a total loss (including mine) -- the car is virtually impossible to repair.

I'm not too thrilled about the notchy transmission and the plastic rear window.

Thanks but no thanks. I personaly don't like that color much, think it would be a great color to appeal to women. The blue interior leaves someting to be desired as well, blaaaahh!

Discontent is the first step in progress.

.. I dont really want to end up on the "people who ..." list, but if you have ever had an S2K driving behind you, its very annoying.

I dont mind HIDs behind me, but there is something about the alignment and lighting artifacts that direct a very intense blue beam right into my side mirrors. This is only specific on the S2K and no other car. Oh well.

There are those who simply hate them and go nuts. Whether their jealous or not, thats the question ;-)

Hmmm..

The fact that I always start the car before realizing that my sunglasses are locked in the glove compartment.
