It's great news (thanks, 2002S2K), but I'm a little miffed at some of the negative scores. Check out the ratings given by Danield Heraud:
http://autos.msn.com/vip/heraudreport.aspx...d=10611&src=vip
Much of what he says is pretty complimentary, but he only gave our car a 75% for handling. I can't imagine what cars got a better score.
And the worst comment was under Price: "The S2000 is an expensive toy that serves no other purpose than to flatter its owner's ego."
This guy is obviously not a sports car enthusiast. He ranks trunk space low as if a car this size should have a huge trunk.

I'm betting the guy's daily driver is an SUV. And besides: He's ugly.

Ann Job, the other reviewer gave a raving review. She obviously knows a great car when she drives one!!

Price/Equipment: The S2000 is an expensive toy that serves no other purpose than to flatter its owner's ego. It's too expensive and not practical enough in everyday driving to justify the asking price
And how! I gained a few inches of length and girth the moment the papers were signed, better than weights, surgery, or pills!



Too bad he didn't rate the Boxter, with his priorities it would score even lower than the S2000.

I never liked this guy's reviews of cars. He always finds a way to contradict himself, such as


5. Ergonomic cockpit vs. 5. Distracting digital instruments

1. Exotic performance vs. 4. Unpractical car in everyday driving


Make up your mind!!!

If the gorgeous looks outside don't make you say it, the gee-whiz ignition system and instrument panel graphics likely will. And if you're unfazed by all that, the car's performance will, for sure, make that 3-letter word spring to your lips: Wow.

That is part of Ann Jobs review of the S2000. I love that paragraph.

More gems in his review:

The headrests integrate roll bars, and dual front airbags protect occupants.
The roll bars are in the head rests?? Look again Mr Reviewer...
However, the short transmission gears are placed very close to one another, which requires frequent gear changes to keep the engine running below 4000 rpm.
keep the engine below 4000 rpms? Why?
the high beams are not bright enough, which is a shame because their range is excellent.
I thought the S2000s headlights were the best I've ever seen on any car. The brights seem to light up everything.

This is a great defroster, I have seen the windshield clear in seconds.
Complicated???
