    i got one and i like it. the only thing i don't like about the car is that the car doesn't respond well to mods. The only way to make it faster is turbo, supercharger or NOS it. or u can change the final drive gear. Other than that, don't waste ur money on bolt on parts.

    Pros: Innovative new car with a fast 4cyl engine. Pretty fast
    Cons: $, interior room, price, did I mention price?

    Pros: Honda quality, Good engine, Attention to detail, Easy-to-lower top
    Cons: Steep price for a Honda, Non-existent trunk space, Not much else...

    Pros: How wonderfully Honda-like - and not - it is.
    Cons: Only enthusiasts need apply.

    Pros: Finely engineered, Fast, Fluorescent
    Cons: I can't afford it

    Pros: handling; looks
    Cons: exurbant price. no, its not 32k

    Pros: Old world roadster in updated package
    Cons: Not an everyday driver

    Pros: excellent handling, smooth engine, excellent seats, great looks, economic
    Cons: small trunk, road noise, (markup should be history now)

    Pros: Looks/Power
    Cons: Plastic Rear Window

    Pros: Refined, great feeling, solid handling car.
    Cons: No torque, its acceleration just didn't do it for me.

    Pros: It's just about everything you would want in a roadster.
    Cons: It's just not anything like a Cadillac, oh wait, is that a Pro?

    Pros: Couldn't imagine better handling
    Cons: Drives like a 150 hp car until 5500 RPM

    Pros: beauty, handling, high profile
    Cons: sound system, no clock, no trunk, high profile

    Pros: Fun to drive, Attention getter, Pure sport Car
    Cons: lousy stereo, cold shift knob in cold weather

    Pros: You'll look and feel like a million bucks while spending thousands
    Cons: Space is not in abundance

    Pros: Cute, elegant, and fast; 240 horsepower so just go for it
    Cons: May not allow tall dudes to get in easily. Shaquille O'neal may spit on such a little toy.

    There you go. I got it from a web site with people telling their opinions for the S2K. Reps would be nice.

    Yeah, those are from old reviews. But if I had the money I would go for the newer models.

    well the 2000/2001 models have the plastic rear window I think, the newer ones have the glass rear window so that would be alittle nicer
