S2000 owners help

[civicrider]

im looking at getting myself a honda S200 this spring, just woundering what the major ups and downs to this car. also how are they in the winter if you have winter tires on them?

[shadowz]

Itll be fine for winter, just get some good winter tires, the 00-01 have the plastic rear window which sucks since there is no rear defrost, try and get 02 plus with the glass rear window. The only other little beefs i have with the car are the minor rattles inside the car and the trunk space sucks, but other than that i dont regret buying the car at all, its awesome!!

You have to drive the hell out of it, all out, everytime or else things just won't feel right :D

its not the best car for winter... you have to learn to be very very careful... it sucks not having traction control

other then that!!! it rules!

and i agree the plastic window sucks:thumbsdow
u just have to learn how to take care of it... and deal with it....

Why do you need traction control when you have an LSD?

Or are you talking about stability control?
