2006 is the first year of traction control.

With that being said, I loved my S2000. I daily'd mine for about 5 months. Everything is geared towards the driver. All of the radio controls/ac controls can be changed without your hands leaving the steering wheel. It's a very responsive car. The gearbox is one of the best I have ever used, and add a short shifter to it, and it's like heaven.

They are VERY unforgiving cars. Even the ones with traction control can be a handful in the rain.

I'm 6 ft tall, and 160 pounds. It wasn't bad at all. Only thing that sucked was stopping at red lights, the windshield border would block out the light.

Best thing to do, drive one for yourself. And if you go to Miami all the time, get a motion detecting alarm, and seat locks. I you have any other questions, pm me.
