I have driven several S2000s for a good deal of time, but never had a chance to really push them.
Trying to remember "feel" is tough - I wish I could climb behind the wheel of one right now to check it out.
I don't remember ever being disappointed, nor do I remember being especially wowed by the S2000 steering either.
I've driven 996 Turbos (disappointing heavy GT feel) and a Ferrari which was sublime and telepathic (blows away everything I've ever driven before), but those are hydrau-mechanical, right?
Probably the best combination of feel and balance, except for the Ferrari, that I've experienced, is my 04 ZHP. Sure it's on the heavy side, but it spoke to me.
I liked my modded WRX, but it was a bit light. The AWD made up for it - loved the feeling of both pushing and pulling through a tight corner. But I like the heavier ZHP feel in the steering wheel.
But my weekend car (170 HP, 1250 lbs, mid engine) is the most fun. It drifts sublimely!
