Offend away 
I pointed out to the missus what I had just posted and got a clip round the ear!
I use less oil with the missus though.
Anyway, back O/T.
Of course there are other focused cars on the road but none that offer the outstanding value and smiles per miles that the Honda does.
50/50 weight distribution - Legendary engine - track proven suspension - RWD - as practical as you can get for the package - efficient - no nanny aids excluding a good ABS set up - sounds the mutts - I like the challenge of getting the most out of her.
etc...

Don't mean to offend but I can't see the point of this car unless its convertible. If it was a hard top there would be a lot more cars to choose from too. You could get an rx8 for 6 grand less IMO
The S all the way, coupe or convertible, but not convertible with a
ing hardtop on !!

Totally different type of car Jamie.
I love the mechanicalism (?) of the S2000 - it's about as raw as you can get without going down the VX/Lotus/Cateram route (and while you can get them here as an import there's no dealer back up).
I'd class the RX as a nice sporty car but it's too compromised.
I drove both HP versions and while "nice", I wasn't hooked.
I think it's a bonus that it's a roadster but it wasn't the reason why I got it.

I like having the hard top , it gives you an extra option IMO
BTW I would NOT have bought the S if it was a coupe!
I would have bought a Tuscan.
Who needs options!
