I trust you got a later version which I have heard handles better?

Mines a facelift 2003 model with better suspension, more leather, glass screen etc. But its still a hanfull if pushed, but that all adds to the pleasure for me. Its very easy to cover ground quickly in a scoob, but you really have to work at it in the S2000 which makes it all that more fun and absolutely buzzing after a spirited drive. Its a car that has to be driven rather than drive you.
They do have small cockpits and dont lend themselves to tall/wide people. And the accelerator pedal is very close to the break pedal which is great if you into some heal and toe but it takes some getting used to for normal use and you can't be lazy with your feet position.
As a point A to point B car there is pretty much nothing than can touch a scoob for covering ground quickly (apart from my Saab
). But if you want lots of smiles even when your not not pushing silly speeds then the S2000 wins for me. Very much chalk and cheese cars and you can't really compare a 4 seater turbo charged family saloon with a tiny 2 seater convertible normally aspirated car.
