What if any is the advantage of an S2 over an S1?

better build quality
better hood/soft top
Lotus programmed ECU
lower side sill=easier entry
better brakes
better handling at the limits for the average driver
I think a much better car if you like the styling.

Thanks . Can you tell me if this gull wing roof standard? If not how much is it as an extra?
Also... Is it true that there is more boot space than the S1?
What are the colour options in the UK?

The gull wing hood never made it into production--somewhere on PH there is a outside firm making them--a deposit is required. The boot is carpeted in the S2 and the battery relocated there for easier access. It has more boot space than a Miata. Enough for the hood and a bag.

there isnt an official one available yet...but the improved hood quality of the S2 does make it significantly less important in myopinion
