The tiny trunk, the top boot, and the cheap, crappy rear window!

Biggest peeves.

1) every moron and their mother thinking that I bought the car for straight line racing, and reving their borrowed bmw's at me.

2) Every young guy in a civic who thinks its fun to fly by my car at 110 when I am in the slow lane.

3) all my friends thinking i sold my soul for a car.

4) The stereo sucks stock, I know that its a sports car but man even a stinking cavaleir has better sound then my car (not for long)

5) the biggest serious complaint is that the roll bars do not go over my head. ( I am only 6'0 tall so I guess that other people have this problem to.)

1) Like others have mentioned, the roll bars seem to be of limited use for tall individuals like myself.

2) In both s2000's I have owned the ash tray cover has developed a habit of opening on its own after a while.

3) Losers who think that my car is an mx5 (miata) and try to race me. (I take great pleasure in blowing them off the road!)

4) Panels that are easily dented.

I hate that I can't enjoy the comfort of the seats as they're not height adjustable and I have to use a %$#$%^! seat cushion.

Also, intensely dislike the plastic window. Especially since driving in a friend's Jeep Wrangler whose plastic windows are extremely clear despite eight years of little attention. They're cleaned with newspaper and windex. Just don't get it. The technology is obviously there and has been for some time.

I really hated how difficult the "S2000" badges were to remove. That was the toughest adhesive I have ever encountered (4 previous cars were incredibly easy in comparison). I suppose it would have been slightly easier had the car not been on the road for almost a year when I bought it. Also disappointed that I cannot take the "H" off the front and back without leaving holes.
Annoyed that I have to get out of the car often when putting down the top to make sure the window is folding flat. Related to the window, the inside is a real chore to clean (I have the extended windscreen).

People complaining about getting tickets in the car when all they have to do it lift their foot, people complaining because it not a bright enough color, people complaining about the paint being no good, people complaining about the clutch sucks, people complaining about the rear end sucks because you can't do burnouts or 61 mph in reverse and have it stay in one piece. People who complain about grinding in 2nd and 3rd when they have abused the SPIT out of the transmission, people who complain about the car not VTECing well because they forgot to check the damn oil and it's a quart and a half low, people who complain about the the cars exhaust when they pay to put the loudest exhaust on the market on the car, people who don't have a clue about maintenance on their vehicle but have all the information on how you should take care of yours, people who complain about the car not VTECing when it only shows one bar, people who complain about the car and don't even own one *TROLLS* you don't have the right! People who are generally not satisfied with the car but bought the damn thing anyway, People who complain about the car because others complain about it. People who complain about everything everybody else complains about but doesn't do anything about it!

You forgot people who complain that you have to lean over and unlock the passenger door while the car is running.
