Yes/No. It is motorized, but you still have to manually remove the latches. It does have a button though and it does automatically go up/down. Ofcourse all of this would be known from a single test drive.

Proves that once again tall people (myself included) shouldnt drive the S2000. I have no issues reaching them and honestly never thought anyone would.

Yeah, it's just like your Si. You press a button and a glass panel in the middle of the roof slides backward. Except, the instead of a glass panel there is a vinyl convertible top. And instead of you pressing a button, you drink a shot of coolant.

My local honda dealerships are the other way around. You walk in the parking lot to look at cars and they won't stop following you. Gets pretty annoying after awhile.

Yeah that does suck too. The weird thing is they see me pull up in my S2000 and they still don't ask me if I need any help or even give me the time of day
