I wish I had an S2000. Its my current "dream car" that maybe in a couple of years, I can afford.

At this very moment I'm reading a review from Edmunds.com on the S2000.

exactly. you'll find NOTHING in that car is a comfortable size. the clearance of the roof is pretty bad, im 5'7" and i fit in nicely, but i would say if you're 6'0" itd be bad. the rear window is horrendous. backing out is crazy. i depend more on sticking my head out the window than looking through the window when i back out of my garage and driveway believe it or not. but yea, thats definately one of the worst things, the immensely small window.

sorry for the horrible lighting, its 12am right here. lol.

EDIT: even though to me the window is bad, i heard it isnt half as bad as the previous models. when they had the plastic window? fortunately they changed it to glass in '02 i believe.

Traffic finally opens up. Step on the gas. The S2000 is quick. It moves smartly. But smartly isn't Honda's desired goal here. The tachometer reaches 6,000 rpm -- show time. VTEC kicks in, activating a different set of camshaft profiles. The S2000 magically transforms from vanilla roadster to kamikaze attack plane.

By the noise, you swear you're going to blow it up. Time to shift. Oops. You were listening to the engine note and shifted at a mere 7,500 rpm. There's still 1,500 more rpm to go! So slow down and gun it again. Watch the tach this time. By 8,000 rpm, there's the realization that you have entered uncharted territory. As the engine continues to wrap upwards towards 9,000, the snarling engine and exhaust plumb into your gut and buzz up to your brain.

:heart:

i wasnt the one who originally purchased it, but its my ride 90% of the time now. but when my bro first picked it up it was ~$34,000-35k i think. yes, there was substantial dealer markup, because it was new. this was 2 years ago.
