OK chaps and chapesses........what do you like about your S2000.

I'll get the ball rolling.

I love the engineering sophistication and integrity (9000rpm!!!!!), allied to Honda's F1 racing heritage

I also like the fact that this car is so rare - it still gets so many admiring looks (and comments).

It's also rather good to drive!

There's lots more.........but over to you lot!

FGT is a great idea Ian!

I love the snarl of the engine even pottering around town, the sweet, sweet gearchange, the way the car hugs me tightly and I don't seem to need any extraneous effort to drive it, all the controls falling immediately to hand, even the gear change is just a flick of the wrist.... and, of course, I love the way that come sunshine the roof folds away so some serious good times!

I love the sense of community that owning an S2000 brings in Fleet - hahahaha.

Also :

1. Convertible.
2. Performance to back it up.

Gearchange, Looks, performance, lack of numbers on british roads. Even after 18 months I still look back and think "That car looks the dogs b******s.

I love the fact that people stop and stare, kids ask how fast it goes. That I can choose whether to burn someone at the lights or let them go and then catch them with ease. That driving it makes me smile and that all my girl friends fight over who gets a lift to the pub on Sunday.

How many of you can honestly say they can resist looking at the cars reflection when you drive past large reflective windows I can't!

I always park facing Office World in Watford for the fact I can see the front of the car reflected in their windows. Sad I know but what a reflection.

I like everything about it, it goes without saying, it is the best car I have ever driven or raced.
And as for the price

You just can't beet it.
