Actually I will wait to completely pass judgment, but I don't like the way they "solved" the handling "problems" of the 00-03. What they did was soften the rear and strengthen the front a little. I would have prefered they left the rear and stiffened the front a lot. That is how people are solving some of the handling issues of the 00-03. With the comptech competition co-axial adjustable front sway bar which goes to something like 280% of stock stiffness one can dial out a lot of the issues. The rear of the S2000 is very rigid and a nice structure. The front just needs to catch up. IMO softening the rear is the wrong approach.

There are a lot more improvements than I thought.
I think I will be ordering '04 brake pads.
The lower redline still makes me sad and some of the body details I still don't like.
Also- I noticed this for the first time today, the cruise control now has 3 buttons, so I imagine Honda has added the center switch to turn the system off, like on all their other cars...

Yeah, deep in the info they note the addition of a CANCEL button for the cruise. It's the little things...
