Honda Dealer wrecks S2000

The next day, 8/Aug/2006, before I had spoken with anyone at Russell and Smith, I got a phone call stating that the technician had lost control of my car and wrecked it, while test driving it. Obviously, the first question was "WHAT WAS HE TEST DRIVING IT FOR!?!"

This is yet another example of how the S2000 is a great car but Honda dealers don't have a clue about how to support it or its owners. The $35K S2000 is not a $17K Civic and S2000 owners are not Civic owners.

I always believed that most Honda dealers in the US are ill equipped to support the S2000 and its owners. They are used to dealing with Civic and Accord owners, who care less and demand less. Many S2000 owners are car enthusiasts.

Sometimes I wished that the S2000 was sold under the Acura brand in the US.
