I did have one and you’re right as soon as the title came in I sold it, my issue with that car was I found it loud and too small. I am a big fan of Japanese sports cars, I had both generations of the MR2 with the latter being the turbo, I also had an RX-7 and RX-8 so I know Japanese cars but the S2000 was not for me.

It was loud with the top up, the top down, etc. it was not loud like my 911 which I like, it was loud in an annoying way, I am not sure I could really explain it. Anyway it was fun to drive for the few months I had it and I wouldn’t go by me, the guy I sold it to loved it. He actually did like an insane road trip from NY to Canada and was happy as can be. I also have a good friend who is a big car guy he has a 70’s 911, he had an R8 as well as many other sports cars and he found a low mileage S2000 and loves it.

Btw I’ve driven Miatas and boxsters a lot and they did not have this feeling.
