Honda S2000's?
Discussion
Hi guys,
I'm doing a bit of searching for my next car. At the moment I'm not sure what direction I want to go, Drivers car / flash car so my options are endless but hey.
Lookign at the S2000's and they could have a bit of everything... In Grey with red leather I think they look great, especially with the right wheels and a bit of work on the stance. From what I know they're also a great drivers car. The S2000 is probably the only quick Honda I've not had a fair bit of driving time in (I have a lot of Honda nut mates with Type R's). But I love V TEC the way you can drive tamely and then have all the power at the top end using the gearbox.
What's the down side about them though???
I would like a convertible but I want it to be weather proof (so not looking at VX220's!).
Why are MX5's considered so highly yet these don't get mentioned much?

Wasn't being rude about the vx220, my brother worked for vauxhall and from feedback from customers and from what I've heard they basically have to be kept in a garage, otherwise the roof leaks.
Are S2000's that small? A mate of a mate had a yellow one years back and I swear he was taller than me and I'm 6 ft.
Insurance I guess is a lot more than the S2k but I'm 23 and it's coming back slightly more than what I'm paying for a sodding Clio!
I can get comfy in a 172 I'm sure the s2k wouldn't be an issue.
In terms of running costs, are they expensive for what they are?
I like the fact you have to work the engine. I'd use the car every day so I like the split personality of vtec.

have you done a quote for yourself. If you're only 23 and not driven anything quick before, i can see it being a lot.
I've done a quote, it's fine. I had a 200bhp Ibiza Cupra at 18, 270bhp TT at 19 - 20, 280+bhp 20vt converted polo gti at 22 so I've had experience of fast cars. I also had a 325 e36 with a 328 sport LSD so have a bit of experience with rwd not that I'm looking for a drift car! Just something a bit more composed. I'm bored with the front wheels struggling for grip and getting understeer as soon as you try to put some power down round corners.
I'm not going to get an S2000 and have it in vtec round every tight corner in the wet near lamp posts! If anything I drive like a complete girl now!
