Right. To be more specific, the sharp corner of that accursed radio door hits the right knee. And if the door is closed ['02 model], you can't see the clock.
Tip: if you touch the remote to your chin, lock button up and facing away from the car, it increases the range by 2 to 4 times. Think this works on most cars ........
That technique is commonly used. The human body is somewhat electrically conductive. When you hold the remote to your chin, your body becomes a large vertical monopole antenna, which increases gain and transmission range relative to the remote's built in antenna, which is obviously a very tiny one.

The horn is not loud enough.
Other drivers are constantly in my way. They are always going too slow, pulling out in front of me or cutting me off (usually while talking on their cell phone).
The S2000 needs a much better horn to get their attention.
When I see another S2000, I like to honk at them as well. Often they do not notice me either.

On my 02 I can go forward and back BY track with a push of the arrow buttons or by holding them down I can go forward or back IN a track. Is this what some of you are talking about not being able to do?
The only gripe I have is not being able to move the sun-visor over to the side - it is only up or down.
Not much to gripe about.
I am one that loves the cruise control. It has saved my butt several times from getting caught speeding... must use self-control, must use self-control, mmrummmmm...

Hi, i dont have any complaints about my s2000 as its still sitting in the garage with 6km on it. i had a accident the day i picked it up and im in a wheel chair now. i dont ever expect to drive it but im very happy to have one, (i start it up once a week) however, i will always remember my test drive. I would also like suggestions on what engine upgrades i could make to it, now that im out of hospital, i will make that my hobby and enter it in car shows. Thank you, NZjim
