i just got the S
i use to have a miata and thats a manual top

i am wondering how long (or how many times) i can use the top up and down before the motor wears out.

i am worried as i go for 10 minute drives to work and want to have it down but put it up when i get to work. if this kills the motor quickly i might just do it ocassionally

Of all the thousands of S2000's sold, I've only heard just one report of a top motor failing. I don't think you need to worry about it.

RACER

Most peep's put the top down and up at least once or twice every time they drive their S. I have never heard of one failing.

I worry about when the next asteroid will hit the Earth and put it into the next extinction phase.
Reducing the times I use my top for fear of when the top motors give out?

just a thought thats all

i mean i had a miata before and when i run inside really quick i put the top up.

on the S there are a lot of haters out there who love to throw things inside. just wondering if it was worth it to put it up thats all. i mean if the motor breaks that easily then i wouldnt

knowing no one has had a problem imma be closing it more often

ebay has tons of used S2000 motors for dirt cheap if that concerns you.

First time I've even seen someone concerned about this problem.
No, no top motor issues yet.

I think you should be worried about the covertable top ripping rather if the motor will fail or not.
