The new '04 rear looks nice but the front looks aweful. It looks like a puckered up fish mouth...all squinty...yuk. I wonder if some '04 folks will be dumping the '04 front and putting on the '03's?.....Wheels on the '04 look very nice. I think the '04 wheels look much nicer than the horrible 18 inch after market stuff that does not fit the car right.
In summary:
Good:
Rear end
Wheels
Rear suspension
Interior
Bad:
8000 RPM "made for America" engine
Fish face front end
Oval tailpipes are for liberal college professors
Slower less precise steering
all weather RE71's instead of dry optimized S02's
That's what I make of the '04. I have to wonder why Honda blew a chance at pumping up the HP 10 to 15 %. Up .2 liters in displacement and sacrificed 1000 rpm of headroom with no HP increase.....that is BULLSHlT.

Sorry I disagree. I like the look, but not enough to trade in mine.

i don't get why people complain so much about the 8k redline- i think once a month, if that, i hit that 9k or 8900 peak- on daily driving, my car doesn't really pass six! i'd settle for 6k redline, if that meant that off the line (after a red light, or stop sign) the car didn't feel like it's about to stall out!!!!!!

Really Tommy? Not having a crack at you but do you think the S2000 is for you? I like the way you can keep it beneath 6k and its mild and when you want you can take it to infinity and beyond.(In my best buzz lightyear impression)
Im not referring to the 8k drop at all just your argument, the car wanst designed specifically for daily driving so saying that it doesnt need 9k for daily driving is kind of missing the point.
As for calpilot sorry but you lose all credit when making such immature remarks regarding people's traits. How would you react to reading a post and I said that 4cylinder cars are for ...(insert your race here)...?
Really.... next time you want to share your thoughts try pretend that you have a vocabulary

Man I must be crazy but I try to hit 9k on 1st through 3rd almost everytime I am out. That is why I bought the damn thing!! I wish I could stay between 6-9k all day long! Am I crazy?
