well i do have a job, and i bought my accord now, and i use to have an integra so no this wont be my first car. i am very greatful for this opp. and feel lucky. so wut is ur guys overall experiences with the s2k? wut are the bads? goods? etc....i wanna see wut u guys the actual owners think instead of a dealership.
thanks again

 

for all you guys thinking im spoiled or wutever then think wut u want. im a car enthusiast jsut like u guys. i boguht my own h22 with my own money, suspension on my integra and everything. i know the s2k is a big commitment especially for my age and minimal driving experience(2 years). i choose the s2k cause it looks sleek and i wanna give a rwd car a try. like i said i just wanna know more info on U GUYS, the owners on how it drivable etc etc etc.....i hope to own one and join you guys on the forums soon!

 

Hope to extend you a welcome. i've personally got an 05 S2.2k .

I'ts my daily beater and odes a good job at it. I get decent fuel ecomony (23-27 mpg). The new gearing + .2 increase in displacement helps alot for cruisin. Canyon romps are a blast with rwd.

Since this will be your first RWD and you are a newb driver i'd adivse to take it really easy when it does rain.

 

Get an 04. The price difference between that and an 03 is not much, if any at all. You'll appreciate the difference.

 

If you get an S2000...i agree with the above post ^^^...the 04's are getting cheaper, and to me, the AP2 is a great platform.

But personally...for a college guy, i dont think this is a great car to get, i would suggest against it, and simply because it is NOT cheap, it is NOT optimal in any way except fun to drive and sporty, no room at all in the car, only a 2 seater, i mean the list could go on and on and on why i dont think this is a great college kids car. Personally, wait until you're out of college, get you something nice and luxurious right now, and wait...you'll enjoy the S2000 more AFTER college.

Thats just my opinion...

 

g'luck. and we hope you graduate 'college'..
(personally, i don't actually know anyone who didn't attend college but hey... NEW CAR!!!)

i think anything > 04 is fine... you get the motor, you get the glass rear top... good enough...

 

You do NOT want an S for college. Have you ever parked at a college campus parking lots? Did you notice 99% of the cars with door dings? While I was in college, I've had multiple door dings, spit on the windshield, and someone rammed into my rear bumper, but didn't even leave a note. I had a crappy integra, so I didn't really care. And that's what you need--a car you're not going to worry about (trust me, you'll have enough on your mind come midterms, finals), a car you won't mind too much if someone throws up in it, and a car that won't eat up too much gas. I'd say keep your Accord or maybe get a 4 door GSR/LS.

 

Don't get a S2000, you haven't even paid your dues yet.

 

The s2000 is an excellent car. I just advise to get familiar with the car before you do any spirited driving. Not to drive you away from h-t, but you can get TONS of info on http://www.s2ki.com

When i first bought my car i spent days on this site and learned sooo much. Even by simply reading the FAQ's

 

yeah college isnt cool for new cars.

countless door dings and 12 bb shots to my drivers side door. havent you noticed how many cars have imperfections on their car at college. Just food for thought.

I have to vouch for this. If a new car at the pricetag of an S is the reward, ask for it in stocks from oil companies, or something out there to invest in. That will put you ahead of the game, and you'll end up graduating college with a new F430.

 

I park my S at school but I park with the teachers. Its pretty much full of high end cars, nothing under 60k. No door dings here. Now if I parked where students park, i would be worried. Too many POS cars and ppl who don't care.

i just bought an 06 rsx type-s and i park ALLL the way in the back where nobody else parks. it's sucks, but it's what i have to deal with at school. the parking spots are soo close, it's not even funny. my old turboed lude got soo many dings it wasnt even funny. there soo soo little room to walk in between cars, people usually walked into cars or rubbed against them. i had trouble walking in between cars and i am 5'9 140. so, im not exactily chubby or anything close to it.

i would get more of a cruiser car instead of a roadster. if you're going to buy a brand new ap2, i would suggest getting a TL or something in that nature. either way, i hope you like parking far far away and enjoy walking.

 

thanks for all the input fellas, seriously it helped me out. ill consider keppin my cd5 accord but the thought of owning an s2k is a great thought. think about it somemore...kepp u updated, if u guys care, haha. thanks!

 

get an ap2.. it's more friendly for the beginner RWD driver.... and it's a better car for daily driving....

***IMPORTANT*** your first mod should be some performance driving school.... and drive slow and take your time till you take that class.....otherwise you won't have the car for long....

 

I doubt you can get into college without passing English. I counted 17 grammatical errors in your 1 paragraph. Normally, I would not scrutinize a HT post, but you did say you were going to college. I find it difficult to believe that you are truly going to college.

P.S.
If you really are going to college, choose a reliable beater.

 

^^^ It doesnt take intelligence to get into college now days..it takes money and a good family name. You could be the dumbest brick on the wall...and still make it into harvard if the cards are right in your hand...grammatical errors mean jack **** in this world...hell, our country pushes EBONICS as a legitimate form of communication in our society...lol, that in itself shows that you could simply make up your own jibberish language and achieve a slew of college education.
