hi all i have owned my s for around 2 months now and love it. great car very fun to drive very nippy upto 5800 rpm then turns into a mini racing car. brilliant 6 speed short shift gear box. nice and snug to sit in feels and is a real sports car.would preffer a analog speedos instead of digital but not a bother. car even better when the suns out. very refined everything is tight and made around you . decent on fuel. great handling.
could be dangerous for people who drive fast and not very good or experienced drivers as no traction control before 2004 so no computer to help you out.

the bad thing is i do find i want to try to get side ways alot in it and always having fun getting the back out more so then my previous 350z.

I am currently erring on the side of a Z4 3.0 rather than the S2000, discuss...

Cringeworthy. It's like you've shoe-horned that in just to show you know the number.

What would you call it? An old white 90's Civic Type R imported from Japan? No, just call it an EK9 like everyone else.

No-one outside Honda forums calls it an EK9, you just wanted to show off your Honda model designation knowledge. The BMW nerds have the reputation but you Honda geeks embarrass everyone.

I'd call it an old white Civic.

OT but I know it as an EK9 too and I've never owned a Civic. Same as I know BMW E designations yet I've never owned a BMW.

Do you really struggle that much with three character alphanumeric phrases? If so, I feel sorry for you.

Also:

old white Civic:



EK9:




For the sake of brevity and clarity, I'll stick to the three character designations. If you don't know them by now, you might want to go back to primary school.

Very nice, I looked at one (a nice tidy number in a lovely gunmetal grey for about 5k) when I was looking at changing my car and the garage owner said he wouldn't be comfortable selling me it as I wouldn't fit in it (I'm only 6ft 2" and not exactly a lard arse either). I suspect he didn't want to give up his run-around.

rofl

I mustn't have had as good an edumacasion as you, we didn't cover Honda model names/numbers at school.

Seriously, read that back to yourself, you sound very mental.

Thanks all yeh they are a great car . I also really like the look of the z4 but the s2000 is alot rarer and more special car. I will be polishing and waxing it tomorrow so hopefully the weather can hold out.

Yes, that doesnt exactly swing my decision one way or another, think I need to try one of each.
