S2000's Handling Personality
While there have been numerous posts on the subject lately, I feel they do not present the broad picture and in turn may mislead the first time readers.
I thought I'd try to correct that by offering the following points all in one thread. The following opinions are from a variety of inputs - personal view, S2000 owners, S2000 racers, car magazine reviews, race car drivers opinions, etc. :

I don't know about you guys, but reading all those points does not sound very possitive. It concentrates on what the car will do when it 'snaps' too much .... if I read this thead without knowing much about the car then I would think that the S2000 handles like crap and that every little thing I will do will send me into wild unpredictable spin that will be beyond my control. It sounds like a very badly handling car.
How about 'beefing' it up with some positives? ... all the articles that these snippets were taken out of have a lot of positives quotes regadring the handling ... why not use more of those as well. Afterall, generally speaking the S2000 is a very gentle car that communicates well and is very progressive. Yes, the back can step out when you don't want it and it is good to know, but that is not the dominant handling trait of S2000.
I read though the 'points' again and you do have a fair few 'positives' there but some of the 'negatives' listed overide the positives. It sounds like the S2000 is nice handler up to 8/10th and then it turns into a monster that only a pro-driver could handle.
