I have recently seen some topics of newcomers aking why they are seeing all these posts about problems with the S2000.

I would just like to add that statistically speaking, persons who have problems with thier car...will look to complain or seek answers about it somewhere, where there are plenty of persons who are happy with their cars and not posting on S2000online.com.

But, I believe that there is some sample selection bias here. I think the owners who are more attuned to the Internet and more technologically savvy (about cars and computers) are overrepresented here (I

There is nothing that indicates this board is or is not representative of the owner population as a whole. In many ways I think it is representative and does indicate something about the owners, their experiences, and the car.

After posting on this and H-A S2000 boards for almost two years the only thing I can say for sure is that the board retains people that are enthusiastic about the car, the others don

 

David,

I think cdelena has a great point. But on the flip side, it would SEEM that this car has lots of problems because everyone who comes to this board will complain about the problems they have. You almost never hear of people just comming here to say 'no problems today or ever, thanks bye'.
