Yea I have a Top Gear review of the S2k where Tiff Needle is the driver. Unfortunately I can't remember the site I downloaded it from. I'm willing to bet that if you did a search though you could find a video clip of the review, I belive that's how I got mine.

He doesn't give it a glowing review. Just thought I'd let you know.

Iwould love to see that review also myself.
If I remember correctly, didnt they test it against the Porsche Boxster. The S2000 won hands down. If it was'nt Top Gear it may have been 4CAR (channel 4 television).
I'll have a look around, if I find it, ill post the link.
Top Gear recently did a long term review of the S2000. Vicki Butler Henderson has had one for 12 months. She liked it so much she is replacing it with a new one

The Top Gear programme I missed is the extended comparison between the S2000 and the Boxter where Tiff took the Boxter and Vicki took the s2000. The next day everyone was asking me "Did you see it?" I think Tiff's brand loyalty where Porsche is concerned is well established now). Interestingly Vicki has actually bought an S2000 Red/Black. If you haven't seen it check out the head to head comparison between the s2000 and the Boxter S. which is available in the library. I downloaded it and only got the sound (No picture). Eventually, more luck than judgement I found a required Divx codec which you'll need to see the video. An excellent comparison where the s2000 comes out well.

The test Muz is refering to was an early one which took place on windy mountain roads somewhere like Italy. Tiff concluded that it was in it's element in 3rd gear in that environment but wondered
what it would be like in normal city driving. He also complained about the radio cover which was open sticking in his knee
