A good, fairly balanced artilce.
I am curious about one thing.
How come this 2002 S2K has a 9.1 cubic foot trunk and mine is about half that? Am I missing something or did he swap the spec's of the Boxster here?

He must have included the secret compartment in his measurement!

what i do wish is that honda had added the feature of toggling amongst the trip odos and the clock. i like the clean look of the dash with the stereo concealed, but i am a busy person with a busy life and i need to constantly keep track of time. besides, i think a clock is more useful than a trip odo most of the time.

"The S2000 hasn't been crash-tested..."
Huh?? ALL passenger cars sold in the U.S. must be crash-tested! In fact, the results (highest or 2nd-highest possible in all categories) are readily available. Maybe he needs those displayed on the dash too.

The radio channel displayed in the dash? That's a good thing for the septuagenarians who drive Mercedes, but pretty gauche in a car meant to be driven hard.
I have it good authority that Merecedes will soon be offering a dash board warning light that tells the driver when she should have her next dose of Geritol

1. adds to cost
2. clutters the gauge cluster
3. distraction to techometer and digital speedometer
4. duplicated information

Since I'm already whining, I would like a clock and thermometer in the display.

Me too. I've never heard of getting "too much information".
I'd like a volt gauge, a real oil pressure gauge and a real temperature gauge to go along with the above and the gear indicator. (Digital or analog, either would be fine.)
I like information.
