It's a great little car. Supurb handling, reliable and ect...The only thing i don't like is the road noise, cheap stereo system, small trunk, lack of practicality and lack of torque. Even with that said, it's still a good car.But i would opt for later years. Even though they are pretty much the same, just some minor differences.the 2000-2001 s2000's have plastic windows, 02+ all have glass. Also the 00/01 cars have stiff suspension and over the years it's gotten softer. And the early cars tend to oversteer more than the later years as well. Which if your not used to experiencing it, that might get you into some trouble. All in all i still enjoy mine.
