Check out the updated S2000 brochure - it mentions a 6 CD stacker and not 8, contrary to Honda's own press release - so what is the real deal? is it 8 or 6 for MY2002???

so there is really nothing that the new S2k has that is vastly different to the older ones. Does having a glass window in the back make life any easier? Are there problems with the plastic doing an impresonation of bubbling, and if so how hard would it be to fit the glass to the old model ?

The glass rear makes no difference to me, because I never put the roof up.

The plastic does cloud up but is easily cleaned.

Retrofitting is possible but prohibitively expensive and a bit redundant considering you buy this car to go topless.

Aus,

do you have photos of that little run we did up to the blue mountains. my black/red 99 was parked next to the black/red 02 model in the carpark remember!

to be honest, only thing I prefer about the 02 car were the tweeters (interior too red, front lights too chrome, rear lights too chrome, rear glass too little, wheels look smaller because spokes don't flow to end of rim)

interested in whether the suspension changes as mentioned in EVO are true?

[shameless plug] ringo, if you are asking these questions because you are looking at an S2000 then consider mine, 2000 model, 11,000km and as new [/shameless plug]

PS: Are you named after the former Beatle, or are you an apple?
