...Female "S" drivers

This is certainly not to disenfranchise those women who drive them, but of all the s2k's I've seen in my town, not one was driven by a lady.

However, I've seen plenty of women driving Boxster's, 350Z's, and Z4's. Just something I've noticed

I've seen a few in California, however not too many. In fact, there is a woman who works in my office complex that drives a MY00.

My guess is that the S2000 is one of the few cars that is not available with an automatic transmission. I'm not saying that women don't know how to drive a stick, but maybe more prefer the automatic. Just a guess.

It's definitely the manual transmission. A manual tranny on a sports car is almost only for the enthusiast crowd. Women do not usually fall under the car enthusiast title.

I've seen quite a few women that drive S2000s around here. It's not exactly 50/50, but probably close to 20/80. That's probably as good as any sports car. While many girls like to look at sports cars, and like guys who can afford sports cars, many women would rather spend their own money on something more "practical". Like a $400 pair of shoes. Or a $700 hand bag. Or a big-ass SUV, so they can stow all of the stuff that won't fit in their purse. J/k!

har, har
I must be the opposite of these women you speak of. I like the smallest purse, and certainly not an expensive $400 one! (that would drain money for potential S goodies amongst other things) Besides, I would rather spend my money on a sports car... like my S! If it were up to me both my husband and I would drive an S, but for some reason he thinks having 2 sports cars is probably no too practical But at least he does drive something I can respect, a V-6 Accord Coupe.

I actually have seen more women driving S2000's than men in my area... although I'm sure more men out there actually own them. And I really don't see that many anyway... THANK GOODNESS!

I've only seen 1 s2000 (other than mine) in my town in the past 4-5 months, and it was driven by a woman, but that's pretty much the only woman i've seen driving one.

I've seen several S2000's driven by women. There was even one that was 70 years old that bought one from the dealership I go to. Lately, the weather has been getting nicer here, and the women S2000 drivers are coming out.

There's a MY00 Sebring/red and a MY02 Suzuka here in Coquitlam, both driven by HOT ASIAN's.

No offense though, the one that drives the Suzuka is really short and cocky.
