I daily drove an S2000 for nearly 7 years including a couple trips clear across the US. I got almost 28 mpg lifetime and it never broke down once. I loved it the first time I drove it and felt the same way when I watched it drive away. If the BRZ I have on order provides half the joy of that car I'll be happy. I sold the S2000 for one reason--first baby and no back seat. I'm buying the BRZ hoping that it's like an S2000 with a tiny back seat.
One thing to consider... The S2000 was just over $30k in 1999, that would be in the low $40s now in the US adjusted for inflation. I'd bet if we were all willing to suck up another 12K or so in MSRP they could get more power from the motor. I'm not willing to do that--happy with 200hp here for the price it's at.
