In everyday driving, the S2000 is fairly docile and easy, although the ride is quite firm which is instantly noticeable on anything other than very smooth road surfaces. It can be more than handful at higher speeds though, especially as it's rear-wheel drive and early cars came without
traction control. Revisions in 2002 and 2004 tweaked the
chassis for better high speed control with firmer suspension – all aimed at making the S2000 more stable while larger 17-inch alloy wheels give increased grip. In 2006, a stability control system was added to the options list and it's a worthwhile addition giving added confidence when driving in less than perfect conditions.
