I test drove the Z as well and i got the whole anti s2k propaganda too.. Everything they started to mention started pissing me off.. First they were like oh it's a much smaller car.. I'm thinking that was a plus... I like small tight cars that fit you like a glove.. Then they were like the nissan is a v6 and the s2k is a 4 cylinder.. i started thinking.. well what does that matter for?? It still pushes 240 horses.. and it has the best 4 cylinder engine in the world.. It pissed me off to here their arrogance...The whole time they were comparing the two cars and not trying to sell the finer points of the Z.. Well after the test drive i found the car to be quick indeed but felt too much of a heavy car. My least favorite part of the car was the interior.. When sitting in the car I could not tell it was a 30grand car.. It felt like i was sitting in the toyota celica..

You do know A LOT of those points are PURE lies, right? It says the S2000 has a timing belt instead of chain -- which is wrong. It also says you cannot put a wheel in the truck so you're lost if you have a flat with a passenger -- which is also a boldface lie. There was more than those two, but I cannot remember all of them right now. I still think Honda should have sued them over such blatant lies...

True, I test drove three different S2K's at three different dealers, none of them mentioned anything about other cars, just what the
S is all about.

The first car I've liked in a while from Nissan is the Murano.

The 350Z would be a nice step up from a VW New Beetle.

Yeah I test drove a 350z also and it was fast but it felt heavy and I didnt like the interior at all. I have also started seeing a lot of them around lately and that is what I like about the S2000 so much. It is a unique car and you dont see them everywhere. I didnt get the anti-S2000 talk but maybe that is because I pulled up in a S2000.
