I've never kept a car as long as I have my RSX. I'll probably keep it until it's completely ****ed or a full blown track car. Either way I love it.

This. No ones gonna be able to give you a direct answer it's all based on preference. For me, I owned a dc5 & ep3 & almost got an s2k on several occasions. The ep3 is the best when it comes to dd. Dc5 s ok, not as good as an ep. S2k would be a good weekend car but can complicate "easy everyday tasks" for dd & I'm 6'3 so yeah Hope this helps, goodluck.

Really What Do You Want DD or Performance? What kind of performance?
Cornering, drifting? or Just Pulls, and being ignorant fast?
For looks or Project car?

Any why not add FG2s?

Do you like ivtec or vtec?
FWD or RWD?
4Seats or 2 ?
k series or f series?
no roof or roof ?

**** be specific.

The S2000 outperforms the type S in every way except the "get 4 people to the grocery store" race. But the type S is argubly a better daily driver depending on your climate conditions and other factors. The RSX is more comfy, has more room, has a roof, etc.

Depends on what's important. I would daily my S2000 for sure if I lived in like CA or AZ or something. I guess I could put snow tires on it...but I just store it. I used my $800 for S2000 snow tires on a 98 civic EX ($500) AND snow tires ($289).

S2k + Snow tires + Snow = Recess for s2k

Bottom line is... you need to choose a car based on what you like, not what someone else tells you is better. You don't want to be stuck with a car that people said you should get because in their opinion that car is better, because you could end up hating it yourself. Go talk to some dealerships, set up test drives with both cars and get serious about what YOU want to do.
