In the last 5 years I have driven several nice cars (NSX, P Boxster, P 996 Cab, S4 and M3). After the NSX and loosing a grip of money on the car, my wife only lets me lease cars now. I lease them for 3 years and sell them in 2. My last car was a 02 E46 M3 and I sold that in November to get the 04 S2000. A lot of my friends were telling me I was crazy to trade in my M3 for a 2000, but I really don't care. I test drove several other cars first, including the STI, EVO and the new S4. I really really like the S2000 and think it is a great car for the money. It is a lot of fun on the track and is probably one of the best handling cars around today. The only other car I was considering was the Elise but with ony 2500 coming to the US this year and probably a mark as high as anything else right now it's not a good time to buy/lease it now.

You will greatly enjoy the S and knowing it's a Honda should give you a lot less headache than most other cars. I say go for it!

BTW, I bought Rick's badges on my S and it's funny how many people dont' even know what cars it is. In fact, I get as many compliments on the S as I did in the M3, which was modded to the max and looked really nice.
