I bought my S2k in March last year. Before that I had an Integra Type R. The Integra was unbelievable at handling in any conditions. Compared to the S2000, it was a different drive. I felt more at ease in the ITR but I feel much posher in the S2000 and there was nothing like it the first time I had the roof down!

General pros and cons.

reasonably inexpensive to own unless you get the modding bug

tyres can be a bit costly - rears only last about 5000 miles

only real downside when comparing with an S is that its not a ragtop

The one point i have heard is that when driving these cars, you need to be concentrating on the road and the behaviour of the car at all times, is this true?

It must be quite a stressful drive then, how do you manage to relax when driving? If you do relax, are you likely to crash?
Yes, as soon as you relax, the car goes into a tail spin, rolls over and automatically hits a tree. Whatever you do, do NOT slacken your grip on the gearshift or the car will sense your weakness and seize control of itself...

Seriously:

Same as any other car.

If you put your foot down in the wet, the back end will eventually start to slip a bit so you take your foot off and it straightens up again.

If you drive round bends too fast, if you drive any sports car near its limits on the public road, you are going to crash sooner or later. To get this car anywhere its limits you have to drive like a nutcase.
