I drive 45 min+ to work through twisty CA mountain roads (and the speed of the traffic is swift when it isn't bumper-to-bumper) and find the S2K far more stable and stuck to the road than a traditional "family car". The car just seems to stick to the road as you go faster and highly responsive.

I'm still getting used to a true sports car feel, but could never go back to a cushioned ride disconnected from the asphalt.

This one didn't get the full Ralph Nader idiot-proof treatment. Car kicks a$$, only thing is, you might have to use your own brain at times

The only people that should have any difficulty with this car are those that have never driven a standard.

It's good that the S2000 has a little reputation. It's that reputation that makes you respect the S2000. If you don't respect the S2000 and you push it passed your driving limits it will bite you. However, that said most of the problems I've read about seem to be people that don't understand the dynamics of the S2000.

[B]Remember, the S2000 is a very well balanced car, so it will handle different than a front wheel drive car. Like in a turn with the S2000 you need to power through it, where a front wheel drive car you can back off the gas and the car will drive through the curve.
