"The frame and monocoque body make this magnificent convertible with 6 speed manual transmission a drivers dream."

That sentence does not make sense because by definition a monocoque has the skin support all or most of the stress of the vehicle, which is the opposite of a frame. The S2000 has a X frame, not a monocoque.

I like the statement "Cruise Control thankfully is right on the steering wheel." DON'T mention it's VERY AWKWARD to use, what with requiring two fingers to disengage (unless you saw off the middle divider).

not to mention, how are you supposed to handle the cruise control buttons while fondling your favorite passenger?

This is the third thread I've read in the past three days that has gone from serious to discussing fondling and/or road head....Whats the deal?

And what do you mean hard to disengage? Thats what the brake is for....Not that I really ever use cruise control...

Tap on the brake or clutch to disengage. Not hard at all.

They are power locks without the (heavy?) door switches. They are operated only by the key fobs. I guess the designers figured it was a short enough reach across the cabin that switches were superfluous.

It does have power lock. The driver side lock/unlock switch can lock both doors. It just won't unlock the passanger door, that's all. :>
