I think it all depends to the owner. Some people treat cars really badly, if you are slipping the clutch at 8000 rpms every night, the most probable thing is that you are going to damage or brake something. Hondas are very reliable, and the s2000 is just another reliable car. I only know 2 people that own s2000s and both are 2001 models, they havent had any problems with the tranny or differential, bushing or clutch. Both of them service the s2000 and dont drive it hard everyday. So, I guess the answer is that the rumors are not true.
