Default Just drove an S2000 today.

Well i was saving up for my B18c motor swap for my 98 4dr and i thaught what if i trade it in for an s2000. I went a car lot that had a red s2000 and i test drove it. WOW. What a car. It looks amazing. The performance was nice, gotta love the 9k redline. The only thing was that the insurance was killer. I think i'll keep my civic and get my swap.

HAHAHA!!! I was in the same boat as you. I had always loved the S2000 but never really thought about getting one. Then I drove one and it was on like donkey kong!! Good luck with whatever you choose!!

Yep I was in the same situation. I had a beat up 98 coupe and was about to put some major money into it. Then it gets stolen right infront of my house one night so I take my insurance check (which was way more than the car was worth) and bought a new S2000. couldn't be happier.

Thanks theives

You'll like driving the S2000 a lot more and it'll be more reliable. You probably won't like the insurance or the expensive payments though.

I like having an S2000 at my house I can drive for free

yeah the payments are 280 and the insurance is like 200. Its bad but i kinda like driving my civic better. Sounds weird. I felt cramed in there and i'm a short guy 5-9. The blind spots are really bad with the top up. And i love the gas mileage of my civic. But the girls really notice the s2000 when i went to get gas i had people asking me what kind of car it was and stuff.

are u kidding me? for that kind of money, you can buy a used nsx. or you can mod the s2000. and plus, most guys i see in porshes are ****.

as for the s2. i sold my dohc93hatch for it. i still miss the hatch. you cant treat the s2 like the hatch. i miss my hatch since it feels like i can still be a young again, but then again at the this age u have to think twice.

ur blind spots wont be as nasty as they are if u have a hardtop, and a 330mm boardway. i can almost see everything

insurance on an S is nothing compared to ITR's. after going from an ITR, the S seemed like a great deal.

btw, how much of an issue is theft for s2k's?

I would too. I'd take a S2000 over a normal Boxter, Boxter S over a S2000. Although I wouldn't pay Boxter S money...

I suppose it's a relative situation. I live on an island with 20,000 people year round, nearly 30,000 in the tourist season, and we've never had an issue with our S2000. It gets a lot of looks, but no one has even looked inside at the interior without our presence. Well, that's to our knowledge, of course. This might be because of our small-town environment Like I said, mainly depends on where you live
