S2 111S/VX220 TURBO/ S2000?????

[aljack]

I'm off to sunnier climates with work for 4 months in September, so I'm selling my beloved S1 in August, rather than it gathering dust in the garage.

I have promised my other half that when i return in January 07 that i will put the extra cash into another property instead of blowing it on a new Exige S!

Anyway back to the reason for my post, i will have around £17-17500 to spend on a used motor when i return. The question is which car do you think is the best for this money and enjoyment factor. Ive driven both an S2000 and 111s and liked the 111s better for handling etc. So that just leaved two contenders, VXT AND 111S. Every body's opinions appreciated, answers on a postcard.

I've driven both the 111S and the VX220 (the turbo). the VX was a little quicker and I would say that the handling of both was pretty similar. However, try as I might, I could not get past the badge and I now own a 111S.

I had the same sort of budget and haven't regretted my decision for one second. I would advise you to drive them both, preferably on the same day if you can. Its all down to personal preference in the end.

For me the best alrounder out of that group is the S2000, while it isn't as quick as the others, it still a performer with a stunning engine and gearbox.

You also get a rock solid build, good looks and some comforts.

They are all good cars so really, its horses for courses!
