Silver of course. They are all sporty, only one is elegant.

Silver is the original, the other colors are just to supply some contrasting colors to show off the beauty of it!

I have a silver, so I'm biased. Yellow would have been my second choice, but it wasn't available. But then again, if I had bought the yellow I may never have started making the leather goodies.

I think most agree ( at least the Silver owners )
That the Silver shows of the lines the best. Its fairly easy to keep clean and IMO one of the better looking silvers out there. Ofcourse they are all gorgeous. It all come's down to personal pref.

Yellow if you want to be noticed, silver if you want to be mistaken for a Miata. ~

I vote for silver because I have yellow and want to keep the number of yellows down.
I asked this very same question last year when the first of 2001 were arriving. I waited five more weeks to get the yellow and haven't looked back since.

Having had a silver one and switched to a yellow, I would suggest you go with silver so that there aren't so many yellow ones around <G>.

Seriously, go for what appeals to you - not what appeals to others - unless you are planning on selling in a hurry. For me, a sporty convertible should have a more sporty color - yellow. Silver, while it looks great on the S2000, makes it look like a more mature car (and driver) and if that is what you prefer, go for it.
