WGAF what Evo say.

We all get what the S is all about so f uck 'em.

 

I never care what others think, its just EVO seems to have a different view to most other magazines.

 

The Car Magazine review can be found Here!

(This is slightly different to the review in the magazine.)

 

JohnnyBimmer - He sounds identical to our very own Jamie

The review was average and I think the tester is lacking in ability - can't get the back end out

Still confuses me why people whinge about 'low down grunt'

I mean, when you are driving slowly, why do you want to go fast

The same people then complain that the engine can sound 'buzzy' at sustained high rpm. How about changing into a higher gear then?!

The biggest flaw with this car is that it was design for intelligent drivers.

They are a dying breed.

What we are left with are Journos and people who think Top Gear is real.

 

This was the bit I remembered from the magazine article ....

"And so, as it drives off to that heavenly racetrack in the sky, the S2000 remains a technically brilliant car. It's a thinking man's roadster. Connoisseurs will mourne it: showboaters and hairdressers probably won't. And that says it all"

I can never figure out their distaste for the S. Whenever they do a comparison and leave it out, it seems like a facepalm. They are very forgiving on Lotus and Caterham, but not Honda. I am constantly baffled with their obsession with hatch backs.

 

I actually agree with a lot that is said in Evo etc, and I'd rate it as a 4* car too. The steering has great turn in yet complete numbness once you are locked in. The ride is, IMO, too stiff (not supple enough to be exact) for UK roads but then can be a bit too soft when you're really pressing on - I'd love to see seperate, adjustable high and low speed compression damping, but there we go. The engine does lack low down grunt and you don't always want to be thrashing along at 7,000rpm+ just to be making good progress, but thats what you have to do.

I'm glad I didn't pay

 

The comments below Car Magazine's review are better that the review!! Lol...

I've never seen so much trolling going on by one poster!

 

I think one thing you learn to appreciate over time is the 4 / 5 (particularly from a car magazine biased towards the way a car drives over other attributes) is still a damned good score.

Then add in all the other things that make it appeal over say, a Boxster, then dropping a star doesn't mean a thing!

It has an element of individuality about it that a lot of other stuff doesn't.

There aren't that many 10 year old cars I could feel so happy to drive. Still looks great. And other people like it too.
