I test drove a bunch of the S2000 cars before buying a 2000 model year car. I agree not much if any difference between the cars related to the engine. However if you are one who uses the engine to its maximum and explores the red line frequently then the earlier cars are likely the better choice. I did not see a great deal of difference in ride quality or handling but again I did not explore the limits of the car. Java Junky has stated that the ride quality of the 04 and up cars is more comfortable and that there are differences in handling at the limits. Perhaps he will expand on that a little. I would be interested in others opinions about these issues. Lets talk. I did notice more difference car to car then year to year. That meaning that some of the cars apparently were "used" more then others? And this is a subjective thing real hard to put your finger on exactly what was different between the cars. I just report that if a dealer had a couple cars to drive (unusual) or if you drove one at one location and then immediately drove another at another location the cars just seemed to feel different. And it was not early cars related to newer. Just my experience. JEH
