Yep, just stay safe on those back roads as well. I was once in a test drive with somebody and they took blind corners too fast to stop in time if there was an obstruction in the lane, such as a slow vehicle, tractor, cyclist etc. I walked away from it. It was an Mx5. I think it was for the better haha

What a great video about possibly the greatest driver's car in the world! I am so jealous that you've been driving it for so long on those beautiful roads in such glorious weather. I had the exact same reaction as you when I test drove one of these beauties. I nearly cried when the VTEC kicked in. This car is a pure high revving porn! I loved the gearbox in this car it's so short and precise. The car is so pure, so mechanical and fantastically focused, a real bloody race car for the road. Yes it is very cramped and has no cup holder nor any of the modern conveniences and the key looks like it belongs to a shed, but who cares when the driving becomes so involving and fun? I only drove about 5 or 6 miles in it but I am truly convinced that this car is PERFECT in every single way!

Also a big bonus how reliable the car is on track. Heavier cars eat through brakes and tires but the S2000 won't. IMPORTANT AP1 ENGINE PREVENTION: Make sure to get ap2 valve retainers and banjo bolts as well as a baffled sump for track use if you drive on semis. If you do that you'll drive to the track, drive the snot out of it, see other cars break down on track, then you will drive home and finish the day with your favourite beverage :)

The Honda S2000.... Pretty much the purest (even though the steering wheel IS electric, and post-2006 models have drive-by-wire) driver's car ever, it feels so raw, so light and small. It's pretty much the definition of my ideal car: lightweight, small, not an excessive amount of power, and yet amazing driving position. The only criticism I have for this car is that even though you sit pretty low in the car, because the whole car is so small and low, as well as a non-adjustable steering wheel, sometimes I DO feel like you could sit lower in the car, it's nothing like stepping in a 991 GT3, in which you pretty much feel like you are at the floor of the car. However, you can't really beat how easy this car is to place, it has a pretty nice view out actually, it's probably one of the cars with better visibility I've driven, except for the roof, of course, that gives you a pretty big blind-spot in the back, but that's normal for pretty much any roadster.

Fortunately mine is fully restored, nearly every optional extra added and has a full stainless exhaust, manifolds and sports cats to boot.

I don't see anything that looks as good to my eyes even remotely in the the same price x2 or even x3. The looks of the S2000 inside and outside are timeless, dare I say perfect. You need to spend a lot lot more to get the same excitement out of a Porsche, Cayman S with mods maybe and you are still left with a worse looking shape I think. Only 991 981 look better to my eyes, but those cars are big coin.

Well, to be honest, the S2000 is in its " own " league, reving to nearly 9000 rpm makes for quite an intersting experience, it also has very good balance and is very light. And yes, performance wise it couldn't realy hang out with the big boys ( in stock form ) even tough it would be a fair fight in the corners where its ligthness and balance would be a big advantage. The BMW Z4M is my personal favorite because of its amazing engine and also raw handling, and the Porsche would probably be the best all around performer, very good handling and balance + good punchy engines. In the end, what matters most is the feel, and the only way to know is to try them all and choose the one better suited for you, because lets be honest here, all of these cars are amazing in their own way, i realy don't think you could go wrong with any of them! PS : all of this is ofc very subjective to me and your opinion may differ!

s2000s are great but once u slap a turbo on an mx5 not only is the mx5 better, but you can probably own 2 for the price of an ap1 and you can definitely own 2 for the price of an ap2. unless u find a cheap s2k which is VERY rare because even the shells are going for like 4-5k usd for a cheap one.
