A SPORTY HONDA - an Accord coupe is a sporty honda, a Civic coupe is a sporty Honda, an HRV is 'sporty'.

The S2000 is a sports car

I may be splitting hairs here but I also notice that even tho the reviewer makes a meal of the "progressive improvements" made to the S2000, and emphasises the new model the photo is clearly an 00 - 01.

Definitely not an 'A' for effort.

I'ts always good to see the car mentioned.......but I hate such glib journalistic tripe, how these guys get jobs is beyond me.

"you need special tools to service the boxster!!"...you have few words to fill in an article..why waste on such stupid comment, how many boxster owners are going to want to change a spark plug?

The reviewer seemed to overlook this completely when recommending a porsche which cost about

Shouldn't the article read "Nobby no idea about cars John gives Andy Jones some really unhelpful advice on replacing a Nissan 200SX"

Can you not see 31450 is greater than 30,000?? You clown.
