Faults:

Nothing, just replaced battery since it was old when I bought it.

General Comments:

This car is incredible for the money. The seats hug your body and look brand new even though they are 6 years old.

The shifter, transmission, and suspension are out of this world. After you get used to it most cars feel as loose as trucks. The only downsides are that you have to worry about seat theft and the paint can chip pretty easily since the car sits low to the ground. It gets plenty of looks and girls seem to like it, but don't just buy it for that. The ride is rough and all the power is between 6-9,000rpms. It takes some getting used to, but now I absolutely love it.

My friends 350z convert seemed a bit cheap compared to the s2000, maybe because he didn't take very good care of it, but it was still plagued with problems, and his was a 2004!

This car fit me fine, and I'm 6'1 155lbs. It did NOT fit my friend who was about 6'3 210lbs, there was not enough leg room on drivers side. Honda should have made the steering wheel tilt like the rx-8 but it will fit people 6'1" and under easy.

Absolutely incredible car, it looks even better in person. Overall, WAY too much fun for 16k!!

I bought mine in September 2000 with 15 miles. The car now has 16k miles and like most other '00 S2000s the transmission has a grind when shifting in high rpms from 1st to 2nd gear. The transmission also emitted a rattling sound when decelerating (Fixed under warranty). The back plastic window was hard to look through from the day I drove it home from the dealership due to folds. The window is even harder to view through now due to age and scratches. Supposedly the back taillights will lose their red color if subjected to a lot of sunlight. The driver side window regulator had to be replaced twice because the window would not go down with the top. The side marker lights are easy to break off. I broke one off when I was drying my car ($40).

General Comments:

This car is not my daily driver. I only drive it with the top down, so I don't notice the poor quality rear window. This car is very fast on flat roads, but when you are going up hills you will notice the lack of torque (This is easily remedyed by down-shifting). The xenon headlights are fantastic. I almost never need my brights however, going over bumps on the road may make the person ahead of you think that you are flashing them your brights.

Faults:

Trans would grind when shifting from first to second at high rpm. Buzz vibration from transmission. Both fixed under warranty.

General Comments:

Handles impeccably. Goes very very fast. Love the sound of the engine in VTEC.

Rear tires last about 10-12 thousand miles, the fronts about 20 and they are not cheap.

Interior gets noisy above 70 mph with the top up. Still much quieter and comfortable than my old Miata.

Drive this car before you buy it. It's a true sports car and some people just don't get that.
