Default Drive a S2000!!?!?!? Come on in please!

Hey guys,

Like in my other theard, I was looking into a newer car. I wanted to make a specific thread just about the S2000 and what people and the drivers think.

I have spent quite a few hours on youtube watching reviews, stock 1/4 times, and a few modded ones as well. And I stopped at a few S2000 forums and read up on them. Read some reviews on KBB, and other car rating sites.

But now I want some personal reviews, from the average driver.

So let me here what you guys think.

Oh and I useto drive a 91 miata for a little over a year, so the space is no problem. I do have to admit though, Im a little worried about cargo space, I travel from miami to tampa often, but Its a sacrafice im ready to make.

Also I hear there not that great for DD, but again i loved my miata as a DD, I would get exicited if i had to go to the store and get milk!

Again guys, keep this on topic, and thanks for the comments.

I damn near daily'd one for a couple months. It's a cool car that get's alot of looks. If your looking for power, Look elsewhere but it still scoots if needed...Above 6K because below it's slower then piss. Pro is RWD and handling, I loved taking it around the corners. Cons... Space and comfort, The only thing that's comfortable is the seats. I like the interior alot and it gives you a nice personal satisfaction. That help any?

It did alot!!! thanks man

I hear that alot in the reviews, its fun to drive, but under 6k RPMS, its no go.. But i mean thats ok, I dont need power all the time, plus i drive a SOHC civic.... lol

and Im not looking for too much speed, but a nice fun DD, and I love roadsters, hence the reason why i got a miata.

thanks man!

I'm picking one up an AP1 as soon as my car sells. Can't wait

My only concern is space.. I'm 6' 1'', I hope it doesn't get too cramped in there.

im with matt on this one, im 6 foot 8 and well lets say i barely fit, i made myself fit more like it. drove one a couple times and it was peppy like stated in the higher rpms, and if you like roadsters and have been eying one, i say go for it. you cant go wrong for te money. if you get the itch to go faster the aftermarket has you covered. when i drove it i was cramped and i had to have the top down to even consider driving it. its a beautiful car and i wish i was smaller to buy myself one.


good luck
