Car always post neutral reviews of the S2K. Probably never driven it for real on a long term basis. They say buy it for the engine and just put up with the chasis! I find both absolutely faultless. Also I notice they don't mention the gearbox or price. Bang per bucks has to make it the best value sports car on the road by far (12K less than a boxter which is slower!).

In terms of rigidity at least, the S2000 must have one of the best chassis on the planet!

Maybe we should send them a copy of D.Carney's book.
They could learn a thing or three.

Precisely, it was designes specifically for the car, unlike some roadsters who inherit from other cars in the range.

The chassis is too demanding/rewarding for the average non-driver, the Boxster is more like a Golf.

12K? Mine cost
