Got bad marks in quality and cornering. Cannot figure that one out.

Well, the boys (Jeremy, James, Richard), probably don't actually post anything on the site, I just remember seeing a video of Jeremy reviewing it and feeling a sense of pride from the praise he gave it.

Purpose built as a soft-top, the S2000 is definitely cooler than retrospective hatchet jobs like the heavy and ugly Nissan 350Z Roadster.

well i guess they had to give it poor marks in something, since no car is perfect. why not take away a bit at what it does well.

Try looking at some other reviews on the site. Their x/20 scoring system makes some scores look really bad but there are comparable cars that are getting similar scores from what I can tell so far.

Critics don't get famous for saying "I love everything about it!" They get famous for saying "I told you so!" and sometimes being right. That's why they're called 'Critics'

So to hedge their bets, most reviewers just criticize as much as they can and occasionally get to have a real "I told you so moment"

In my opinion, this is not one of those moments.
