Default AP2 s2000 vs. 05 RSX type S

im looking for a new daily driver. im thinking either the s2000 or rsx-s

s2000 looks sex but it would be nice to be able to have passengers in the back when needed. the rsx-s would look sex too if done right.

s2000 is faster, but the k20a2 has lots of potential especially with hondata. turbo wise, both can get faster depending how big my wallet is.

which would be the better choice?

since you already know that you want to be able to carry around passengers in the back you already answered your question. I'm coming from my last 3 cars having 4 doors. Now i just got an s2000 and i love it. You cant really go wrong with either.

I got rid of my IS300 and got the s2k. After driving the s2k I fell in love, as for the passengers in my car... I never really liked driving people around.

What the hell? You can't figure out if you can live with 2 seats or 4?

PS, I'm just here to cause trouble.

4 seats are for soccer moms and parents.

Get the S2000, there is really no comparison between the two - like a lumina vs corvette.

what can i say but agree...... when i first got my S I wasn't to sure but the more I drive it the more I love it ..... you can't go wrong with the S and as for the passengers tell them they can drive you... you might be able to make the rsx fast but it wont handle as good as the S2000

well i have an s2k and my buddy has an 06 type s...the type s is cool and way good looking, however the back seats suck for room, nobody over 6 feet can fit back there without bending there heads down and getting wiplash everytime vtec comes into play, i have found out that they are both neck and neck for speed both being stock, and as far as handling goes the s2k might have a slight advantage but with the double wishbone suspension on the type s it keeps up just fine...so even if you get the type s your only going to be able to fit 2 people, or 4 midgets just get an S2k and enjoy life!

is it me or do you post a lot of crap?

1. there is no whiplash when vtec is engaged in the Type-S, its kinda subtle
2. they are certainly not neck and neck with speed... i can assure you that...
3. a slight advantage over the S... hmmmm i would say destroys it
4. i agree with u by saying get the S

pro drivers on stock cars... the S2000 is far superior... just look how it kills the RSX out of the start...

It's a question of do you want a cruiser or a daily driver? Do you want FWD or RWD?
