s2kskibum: 4000 miles on my '02 and I've already poured in 2 quarts, and I need to give her another half a quart tommorow. She's my daily driver, and I ride her hard

guess it'll be next spring b4 I have to add - can't drive it now! But it still rests on the top line...

Guess I was expecting it to be SO obvious...

A salesman at the place I bought mine said he owned one - had 3000 miles on it and no problems. Asked how much oil he had burned. He said "I haven't bothered to check!" Next time I saw him he thanked me profusely for alerting him to this fact... doh!

I'm very happy with mine. 10k miles in a year with no problems. She makes me smile just sitting in the garage, but today will be 50 degrees, so it's top down to the lake. Happy New Year

That's a little too much information!

I'm in the middle of the true break-in (2300 mi), but I'm constantly amazed at the stares and double-takes this car generates. Granted, driving anything this yellow is going to attract some attention... but this car regularly has one or two people intentionally walking past it to gawk every couple of days.

P.S. I kept the top down until the highs were barely in the 50's... maybe THAT's why people were staring and double-taking.

Remember the VW "Thing". They made one in yellow. It got a lot of attention, too, but for all the WRONG reasons.

The last time I heard something like this posted, someone said that they thought they had gotten the only S2000 that was free of all of the defects, totally issue-free. Several weeks later, his required major repairs and several weeks in the shop. I'd knock on wood if I were you guys!

So far so good. No problems with 9800 miles. I got mine in Sept. 99 too.
