1. Fuel tank capacity = lack of range. Trips actually take longer in
the S2K than in other cars because I have to gas up so often.

2. Nowhere to put a suit jacket or dry cleaning on hangers without crumpling it up. That aside, I found I could deal with the limited storage by taking a fairly disciplined approach to keeping the car clear of miscelaneous junk. Transfering CDs from jewel boxes to a CD wallet helped a lot. Ditch the top boot. There's a fair amount of room under the seats for stuff that you don't need to get to wjile you're actually driving.

3. Stock stereo is pretty worthless w/ the top down.

4. A gentleman should get out, go around the car and open the door for the lady so the passenger door lock isn't a huge big deal. It does cause difficulties when one the doorman or valet parker is there to open the door.

Other than these, I don't have any beefs. I've owned mine since January and put 17K miles on it so far.

JRM,

That was a damn good reply...i agree with you!!!!

Why doesn't everyone enjoy what they have and like about the car?

I love mine even if there is a couple little problems...but i'm not complaining. All my friends and people around my age drive beat up civics and integras!

I'm happy with my s2k

 

Seriously...

I hate the fact that I can't find a job that pays me well enough to afford my current lifestyle (stook included) and drive my stook ALL FREAKING DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear, I would if I could!!!!

Love this car!! Owners suck (you know who you are) but the car is perfect!!!!

People calling it a "Stook".

 

The depreciation and rear plastic window. It's a great car, but I'm thinking very seriously about going back to another Porsche.

 

depriciation...??? Don't get it Bob. S2000 is doing well in resale (read 1st or 2nd best)

 

[QUOTE]depriciation...???

 

Hmmm... I don't understand the depreciation thing much. I bought my first S2000 for 31k with 3000 miles on it. After I wrecked that, I bought another S2000 with 7k miles on it for 29k. My insurance company paid me 33 and change for the first car after I wrecked it, so that covered what I owed to the bank and then some for a down payment on my 2nd. It was a hell of a way to get a deal, but my first car was "worth" more than I paid for it It had 7k miles on it when I wrecked it. So if you look at what the insurance company paid me vs. what I paid for an identical car with the same mileage at the time of purchase vs. wreck. I paid much less than what the car was worth. The prices you paid were insane!!

 

Yup!! But at the time those were the only prices being offered. Cars were definately cheaper on the east coast than the west, possibly due to availability or time of year, i.e., winter etc.
