And a little more specifically, for those with some decent miles and years on their S2000 at this point, what parts of the interior have started to wear out or take a beating?

My one reccomendation above all else would be....
Check your oil regularly (as you should with any vehicle)

check oil at least at every gas fill up. i know you have heard this one a lot BUT its very important. many f20c's pass on due to low oil.
if you have a habit of going into vtec often, check it a lot more frequently.

Learn to drive this car. It is most likely unlike any other you have driven previous. Take it to a track, empty parking lot,or wherever you can experience the limits and how to work through potential scary situations with a cool head.

I would like to respond to the part about this car getting attention from women. I was told that, but did not believe it. I am a 57 year old divorced male. Two weeks after I got the car I was driving down the main street in Thousand Oaks California at 1 am in the morning, with the car top down. A 39 year old woman was stading up in the passenger seat of my car with her top down. Is this a great car or what?
