Default Buy S2K or Evo IX?

Hey guys.... im in the market to buy a new car i love the s2000s and now that the evo IX is legal in canada, i cant decide what i think is a better choice for me. Im aware that the evo is the faster car, but whats the overall better car? For example, Fun to drive, good for the girls(attention grabber) and a better daily driver. S2ks are also cheaper.
Thanks.

I dunno. I love Evo's, but they're too "boy-racer" ish for me in my old age. I could have had either and went with the S2000.

Year round daily driver? I'd think with the right tires the Evo would be by far the better winter car up there. If you want to pick up girls get a "girlie" car that girls like.

Such an original thread, I'd go with S but the EVO is a very capable, if not superior performance car to the S in most scenarios and drivers.

2.0 turbo vs 2.2 NA. performance is different. style is different. depends on your own taste.

if u want the car to be attractive, get a yellow or red s2000 with few mods. it's pretty cool when u fold off the top.

but most attractive car for a honda will be NSX. but not cheap as most honda

if u need more space, get EVO IX or STI. if not, get S2000
if u dont care about performance, get s2000. if u do, evo ix or sti.
if u need it for a long run, get s2000. honda last longer
evo may cost more after the car has high mileage because of Mit's quality.

if u get SC in s2000, it will kill evo.

overall, S2000=best NA 4 cylinder car. its interior is much better than evo.
i guess your purpose is for girl. not performance. LOLz.
this is also one of my reasons that i bought my YELLOW NSX.

I dont know how valid of a concern it is, but one of the major things keeping me away from an EVO is durability concerns when driving/tracking the car.
And I hear s2000's are much cheaper on consumables(tires/pads/ect) for those that track their cars compared to the EVO/STi's, which makes sense since they are bigger front heavy cars with more power.

i guess he needs a DD car instead of a track machine. also, girls attention grabber. i guess yellow will be his choice. 6years ago, i still remember there was one guy that showing his yellow s2000 every day after school. LOLZ it was in high school.ha
but i love those brake calipers on EVO.
