Default Just got an 06!

To all that feared DBW. Your fears were unfounded. I just went from a MINI Cooper S with also DBW to an 06 S2000. The MINI had some ocassional bogging down at quick throttle input. The S2000 is beyond perfect. No issues whatsoever.

The wheels look beautiful in real life. You must see it in person.

The new texture on the seats look also wonderful. Pictures do no justice.

Above all, you can get 06's for invoice already, at least, in Florida.

Very true, the leather is thicker.

I was the first to hate on the new wheels and I love them in person.

Will test drive one tommorow and will let you know about dbw

saw the seats and saw the wheels in person. Not fond of either but i am jealous of vsa tsc,glove box, extra speakers, airbag off and white/black leather combo.

Have fun with the S!

Yeah I just test drive the S2000. I have to say very smooth and seats are real comfort. I like the dbw. I didn't get to test the vsc. I wonder if the glove box will fit on the 00-05 model S2000. It very roomie you could put small thing by the shift knob. Sound system is very nice to. I wish I could trade my in. I drove in the Laguna blue one. I am surprise that he let me drive one.

Glove box:

There is a new glove box. It is where glove boxes usually go on the passenger side. The center console is the same old thing. The glove box is all new extra space. Pretty damn cool IMO
