One of the smoothest transmissions ever built, a forged internal engine capable of hold over 450whp all day, and over 600whp driven on weekends. You get double wishbone vs mac strut suspension, we call know which is better... so maybe once the FRS/BRZ gets cheaper it may be worth getting them then however the S2000 is a much better car other then maybe a daily driver once you modify it lol

I fully agree, but to each his own. I live in a state where it snows 5 months out of the year. My S was 10 years old with 100k miles on it. It has squeaks and rattles. The top had to be replaced twice, ect. I had to have a winter beater as well. Gas for two cars, insurance for two cars, maintainence for two cars let alone both were old. Now I can have one car, a NEW car, cheaper payments, cheaper insurance, with a warranty and free maintainance for two years. I have never looked back personally after trading the S in. I wasn't a "S2000 was the end all of sports car" guy like a lot of them on the forum. I appreciate all vehicles. And this was the most practical car for ME that felt the closest to an S. Im no S2K noob either. MN is the home of Fullblown which holds the record for a stock block F20.
