Default S2000!

Well, after taking it home this afternoon and putting 50 miles on the car, I must say the ride and handling is everything I could have hoped for. This really is a true driver's car...something for the purist. I never was a convertible man before, but you know what....its pretty cool to ride in now that I actually have some seat time in one. The S2000 handles and rides similar to an E36 BMW M3, which is the pinnacle of M3 ride and handling. I cannot wait to get past the engine break in period! I wish I had gotten an S about 4 years ago...that is the only bad thing I can think of.

I think you'll find it handles better than the E36 M3 - there's a lot less mass to move around which translates into better cornering limits.

you are going to go into your garage 3 or 4 times a day when you're not driving it either to wipe it down or just look at it.

I am constantly checking the garage one to two times to make sure it is shut and to look at the beauty before I go to bed.
