I'm currently looking at picking up a slightly used S2K for daily driving duties (the hatch is a bit too harsh for me anymore). Is there anywhere y'all can point me that lists the changes to the model year by year? I know of the changes on the 2nd "gen", but how about the differences between 2000-2003? Anything I should look out for that is specific to the S2K?

Thanks!

 

in!

 

getZ which one you can afford ...

I can afford all of them, I'm just wondering what the minor changes were year to year and if there is anything I should be on the lookout for?

Might not be worth the premium you pay for a new one if you can get the exact same thing in a used.

 

You wont do it.

$20 says so.

Maybe you didn't see where I said 2000-2003? If I were to spend 30k+ on a new car you can rest assured it wouldn't be an S2K. I don't like monstrous depreciation either so new car = no.

 

originally it said "you don't do it" i think he fixed it

It is still ok to punch him.

 

You still wont buy another car

Really hasnt been all that bad, especially in comparison to other cars on the market.

Main differences?

2002+ had glass rear window, upgraded syncs (that may be 2001+), and some interior trim pieces were different. The glass rear window being the biggest cosmetic difference. I've read horror stories on the 2000 models which would keep me away from them, but thats just it, ive just read them, i dont know anyone with a 2000 so i couldnt tell you if its true or not...my friend has a 2002, and has not had one problem with it outside having the clutch recall thing fixed because of the buzzing and also had an HID ballast go out on him but that apparently never happens so it was just a fluke. Both of which were easily handled by Honda with no issue.

 

Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. I would assume the plastic rear window fades or gets cloudy? I'll narrow the search to a 2002+ then! Thanks!

When I was talking about depreciation I was talking about new cars in general. I don't do them

sadly a new S depreciates very very fast. i bought my 02 in 2004 for 11k off MSRP. the car went down 33% in value in 2 yrs
