Get an hours unaccompanied test, that's what I did - I told the dealer I wanted to make sure the car got down my driveway.

My problem is that the driveway is incredibly steep, but also where the ground levels out it is very abrupt. The S2000 will go down there so long as I take her down really slowly, with about 1-2 inches clearance. She'd scrape if I went any quicker.

Sounds exactly like the drive I'm hoping to buy.(i.e. attached to a house!)

Yes I'm going to borrow a dealer car to test it just as you did (this saturday).

Probably be ok, but a major headache if it won't.

re: your other thread - enjoy your new car dreamer/jo (?)

With luck I'll be joining you (in your experience!) in a month or two.

We had the last model Prelude & due to the longer front end & the 'squarer' shape of the bonnett - The Prelude caught the ground more that the S2 !
