Default what are the cons of the s2k?

i know that everyone here loves their cars, i too love the car, but sadly i do not own one as of yet. i drive a jetta and it came out to be a lemon, i had several problems with it. but anyway, i would like to know what are some problems with the s2k, i am thinking of a 2003 model. what do you like the most about your car, i also want to get a hardtop from the dealer, if possible.
thanks for your help.

The damn seats are set too high. You can't even see traffic lights if you are first in line (provided you are tall). This can be fixed, of course, with some ingenuity, but it is a PITA nonetheless.

The thing I hate most about my s2k: I will never be happy with any other car. Seriously- I have found no problems with my car and every morning when I slide in and hit the button, it feels like the first time. 5 months, 13,000 miles... I love my car.

In my opinion, none. This car is perfect in every way...the grins get bigger every day that I drive it - you couldnt give me a better vehicle and Im not looking for one.

I'd say beat your Jetta till it dies, get the dealer to fix it, sell it and by that time the new updated S will be out.

You get a lot of attention (not good if your in the witness protection program)

You get sunburned.

You scare your sig other

Come back to it after parking it on the street and people are standing around looking at it (yes, still - happened to me today in Solvang)

Can't hear the stereo at 90

Can't hear the engine till 6000
