I love driving the s2000

, I personally feel that the 8000rpm redline is high enough, the only problem is that when I'm trying to cruise at a constant speed I feel like I'm hurting the engine by keeping the revs to low (3000) or too high (4000) for constant engine speed.
We've used it for road trips, and the ride isn't too tough, and if you pack smartly the trunk is big enough, but I got a ton of sunburn.
