Thumbs up test drove s2000

had a wee blast in one today a 2004 model.thought it wasnt that fast until 6000rpm then starts to really motor til the red line.i must admit i just loved the howl from the exhaust with the roof down and the digital dashboard.the gearbox is just like a rifle bolt very slick and the brakes are amazing.me like very much! he he! .the wife struggled to drive it being only 5 feet tall the seat wouldnt go forward far enough.just my thoughts.

What a lot of people don't know is the body work has a magnetic field around it, and is attracted to armco.

The "pull" is often felt around the Norschleife, particularly at Wipperman.

my 5 foot 1 girlfriend has no trouble driving it....
I love it although I was not as impressed with the 'so called kick' after 6k, I am starting to wonder if there is something wrong with ours.....
It lugged us around europe for 2 weeks/2600 miles and never missed a beat, fully loaded, roof down, autobahns, 120+ marvellous
