- lack of interior luxury features (So I can keep my eyes on the road and have less weight in the car)
- no automatic climate control (The varying outside temperature from morning to night is automatic enough)
- no auto dimming on the mirror (if someone's headlights are making me mad... I speed up until I can't see them anymore)
- very tight interior ( Keeps me snug in the corners)
- huge blind spots (Makes me want to drop the top even more than I already do)
- tiny truck space ( A good reason to tell me girlfriend not to pack anything more than a bikini)
- no power seat! (Because that would weigh the car down. Why would I need one anyway. No one other than me drives the car and I don't grow anymore

Some additions

- The "noisy" engine.
- The radio isn't very powerful so I have to listen to the "noisy" engine instead.
- It only seats two, no room for kids in the back or extra lunch buddies.
- You need to "drive it like you stole it" to get it to move.
- Most people don't know what it is.
- It attracts unwanted attention from the women (according to my wife)

- The engine isn't noisy, it just 'screams' for attention
- A $200 amp and some new 6.5" speakers can fix that problem right away
- The two passenger seating gives you an excuse not to be a bus and save on gas
- I always thought that driving it like you stole it is fun.
- I like the fact that people are always looking and pointing at my car
- And I am single, so no attention from a woman is "unwanted" ... unless she's ugly.

After over two years of having the car, I'd have to say that the best thing I like about the car is the feeling I get when I drop my butt in the seat and look out the windshield and start her up. No other car I've owned makes me feel like I'm in a race car and can't wait to get her on the twisties!!!!!!

You are soooo right. I was actually thinking about trding my S in because my other car is giving out on me and soon I may not have another car to carry big stuff around in, but I have decided that I will just struggle until I can afford another beater. I can't give her up

2 things I dislike about the S2000 is I can't adjust the drivers mirror out enough.. I set them so that I can barely see the side of the car when I'm leaning my head against the glass(drivers side) and the center console.. this removes all blind spots(would if the drivers mirror would go out far enough)

and the other is, my wife likes driving the S2000 as much as I do, so I don't get to drive it as much as I'd like..
