I know three owners that sold them, when the winters are bad true, but even on a slightly damp road they are ultra tail happy, more so the earlier cars they "improved" the later ones apparently. Stick some winter tyres on the majority of RWD and you should be a lot safer.

It is one car I love, but the insurance would cripple me I know loads on limited mileages and are severely restricted - from memory the owner of Zaino has one and his Range Rover is a daily driver and cheaper...the S2000 is his pride and joy true, but the costs I have heard.

Early on they were not bad on insurance but as more got produced more were also finding ditches etc. If I remember correctly I think one told me he was looking at 3K-4K for insurance alone and he was late 20's - early 30's.
