Well I have sold my S2000 ;-(
I couldnt justify the payments to my wife, we are going to buy a house and we had to put things in order, of course my car came last.
After 6 weeks of ownership here are my thoughts.
1. Jerk autodealer charged me 2K over sticker. I shouldnt have even bought the car.
2. The car really isnt useable as a daily driver.
3.. It is uncomfortable for those of us on the "large" side..
4. Radio sucks.
5. Its really too fast to be driven in anger on public roads..;-)
6. Community that is building is great, Rick, Gregg, etc. It is very similar to what happend to the miata. its nice to see, keep it up.

Well thats all for now. I am happy that I at least got to own the car for 6 weeks.

Mine's a daily driver too, and its the best one I could hope for.

After a long stressful day (& most of the time night) at work, I can let go when I get behind the wheel of my S2K.

Its only a 10 minute drive home, but I'm totally relaxed by the time I pull in the driveway.

sounds like a classic case of buyers remorse...

Sometimes when you are only looking for the negatives it is easy to miss the positives.

Many of us here suffer from the exact opposite!

How about a little cheese with that whine?

P.T. Barnum was right.

Rosso,

Guess you decided to hand it over to someone with the money to pay for it, eh?

(Darn, and I almost thought I had it.)
