Test drive '05
Hello
Today my wife and I did a testdrive in a '05 with 48k (kilometers) on the odo. Despite some damage on the rims and frontbumper the car was in a good shape, also the chassis and drivetrain (no rust, leaks of wetspots) and unther the hood all was clean and looked like new.
The testdrive in the local town was good, on the highway I noticed some strange thing. By changing gear (from 6 to 5 and form 5 to 4) the car was dierctly going to the right. This was also by speeding in the same gear. I thought it would be the lining from the wheels, but when I did a breaktest with 130 km the car stays stabel and doesn't go the right or left.
We didn't buy it, it feels no good, Depite the sellsman says the S is always going to the right. That's bull because my KIA '04 did drive straight in al gears and with all rpm.
Does anyone know what it could be?
Thank you and greeting from The Netherlands

yeah that car no bueno.
i will mention that little things like air pressure being off 2-3 psi between the rear tires will cause the car to pull. The S2000 is also extremely sensitive to alignment as well.

Guys, thanks for your reply!
I must say that I didn't checked the tirepressure. So there could be some differences.
As I wrote, the visible check of the chassis was oke, but I could be wrong ofcourse.
I don't understand the answer about the sparetyre, what could be the reason?
Take care
