i have another question, is there a hardtop available, if so then how much is it? i am thinking of a white s2k, i will tell you how the test drive went.

Dislikes: should have standard rear speakers, but the 03 stereo is not bad (can live with it). traction control or stability control would be nice. Side airbags would be nice. Seat could be a little wider (for me).
Overall one of the best sports cars in the world.

I believe a lot of the pros and cons are already listed in the thread "stuck" at the top of the forum, "Should I buy an S2000." Check it out, as there are at least 4 pages of info posted there already.

Hmmm.... Cons......
1. It's not a great car for long trips. Not the worst either but the noise and cramped cockpit gets a little fatiguing after 10 hours.
2. The passenger side seatbelt buckle rattles against the passenger door. Drivers seatbelt actually squeaks inside the little clip attached to the seat. Very annoying since it's right near your ear. These are pretty petty things but they are annoying.
3. I hate to admit this but I wish I could do big smoky burnouts without endangering the drivetrain! I know I bought the wrong car for that particular task though. I wanted a car primarily for all around fun. Handling, auto-x, comfort, and precise controls were all priorities. Tire melting would be a nice bonus though.
A lot of people gripe about the radio but honestly I only use the thing about half the time. I'm V8 guy and even I prefer the sound system under the hood to the one in the dash (no matter how good it is). Does that make any sense?
