What do you think makes the Honda S2000 so special?

Hi guys, i guess some of the cars we have driven ,personally i would find it hard to get best of both worlds .reliability ,affordability,great drivability ,
Could be me just simply fussy or its just the type of cars i got attracted.
anything ranging from great handling cars but plenty of trouble with maintenance or trouble free cars but has no feel and soul attached to it.I just sold off a suzuki swift re4 6months old yesterday.Its a practical car but just has no feel and oomp to it.Had a mark 5gti dsg with plenty of feeling and handling but too many times to the workshop with issues.So to conclude ,best to know the devil than the deep blue sea.Love is to the eyes of the beholder.not the greatest but good enough.
s2000.
Jump into it and let the world roll it on.

Coming from an unbiased source:

Positives
+ Redline 9k
+ Timeless roadster looks
+ Frantic power beyond 7krpm (from a 2L 4 cylinder)

Negatives
- Rear will break out inconsistantly (sketchy at the limit)
- Had to justify everyday drivability (No torque, Power kicks in at high rpms)
- Cramped cabin, not to mention its only a 2 seater
- Cabin is noisy, ride is stiff, every bump will be felt on anything but smooth freeways

I was considering an s2000, so I can understand the appeal =)

for my own opinion is : 1. 9000 red line( even till today i am still pround of this thing when i intro f20c to ppl) 2. shape handling 3 desgin of the body turns the car look good after 11 yrs till now
4. im really call this : it is My Power Of Dream lol

Ps: but this car is need bit of modification to make it easy to handling for me, particularly the suspenion

for me it was bang for buck in the roadster category.

its no motorbike but for a car its not too shabby

I'm sorry, but you considered a S2000 but ended up with a 135? You probably made the right choice, a sports car isn't what you wanted.
