Out for my first outing in the S2 Roadster, quite an enjoyable revelation when compared with my 4/4, the gearbox light, nice and easy to use, 1st a little too low but the rest fine, the torquey engine was pulling 5th from just over 1000rpm and the acceleration can/will become addictive.

Slightly more heat sink into the cockpit compared to the 4/4 The growl from the engine has a beautiful balance, a get up and let you know we are coming snarl, but when cruising nice and quite quiet background rumble letting you know there's a bit of a beast waiting to be let loose. I found the SSL front suspension is only a little more compliant than my 4/4 but not by much and I experienced a little axle tramp in one traffic light derby. Taking it easy at the moment as it needs a running in period due to lack of use since new.

My initial impression is a very fast car with a mile gobbling torquey engine that probably really enjoys cruising more than being overly hurried along. That suits me just fine.

John
