Best S2000 to own

I've owned an 03 and now an 07. Like most people that have owned both an AP1 and AP2, the AP2 is better. Go for an 06+ car. Anyone that tells you the drive by wire is intrusive is just making an assumption and has no experience with it.

are you serious?
Learn to drive and the car isn't a handful in the rain. Granted, I have an 05, but still...

The only thing I complain about my '01 is the plastic rear window. Gotta love the rawness of this model yr.
I think the snap oversteer is exaggerated by newbies to make the S2000 sounds like it's some sort of super duper high performance supercar.

Nicely stated!
If I bought another to go with the AP1 I own it would be an 09 Cr in GPW if I could ever find one.

I was just hitting vtec in the rain (2nd gear) I didnt even know the tires were spinning til the back end started coming out at the end of the gear.
Anyone afraid of this needs to hit up a track or large parking lot and practice some drifting, years of drifting around in RWD cars makes the S2000 feel like a rain gripping machine

I daily my '01 AP1. It's not annoying or difficult to drive at all, rain or shine.
For the ones that say an AP1 is a hand full in the rain, you've never driven an AP1 in the rain. And if you have, you suck at driving or were driving on really bald tires. Even on bald tires it's okay as long as you're not accelerating past 4000rpm while turning.
OP: I would drive an AP1 & AP2 and see which one you like better. The "snap oversteer" on AP1's isn't as drastic as some of the members here exaggerate it to be.
