Someone actuually said gas mileage? What have you been driving? A hybrid?
My car gets 22 in town and 30 on the highway. That's economy car type numbers in a 240hp auto.
My SUV got 9mpg in town and 11 on the highway. I feel VERY fortunate to have the S2000.

Love -
-Handling / Power / Balance / Quality
-Convertible open air feeling
-Driving it daily
-High Revving, manic yet precise driving
-Looks (the way it looks and the looks it gets)
-Glass rear window
-Interior Fit and finish, good/solid quality stuff in there.
Hate -
-Stock Stereo (although honestly, I don't HATE it, I just don't like it)
-A couple of rattles I'm getting in the top (3k miles)
-CUPHOLDER! (give us a decent one, Honda! maybe one that flips out from the dashboard)
-Car's performance is stifled greatly if not completely in the rain, it just performs like a normal car then.
-Complaints from people telling me the car is too small (I always tell them, if I cared, I wouldn't have payed so much for it)

my only real dislike so far, in my short ownership, is the location of the power outlet, my elbow hits the plug for the radar detector.
Don't power your radar detector off the power outlet between the seats. I tapped directly into the fusebox with a blade splice and a hacked up radio shack cord. There should be some posts and/or articles about how to do this. Just feed the wire through the dashboard to the center -- it's an easy install and it look great for the radar detector. Plus, if you ever change radar detectors, you can just change the tip out from Radio Shack.
Just watch which wire is positive, you don't want it to be the shell conductor.
