Angry Drove this POS for a week



Drove this for a week while out of the country. 100hp, 5000lbs, when you stepped on the gas, nothing, literally nothing, happened.

Got back to the States, and now my S feels like a Murcielago on skates.

I love the S2000.

I know how you feel, atm the car is having some work done on it and I am driving around in a diesel golf... it's not a bad car, but it's just that... a basic CAR.

Cannot wait for the s2000 again miss it everyday

Hahaha, I've posted a few times: if you want your existing ride to be an amazing, new experience, go rent the slowest, most crap-tacular car in the lot and drive it for a week.

That is one U G L Y (why you make your momma cry?) vehicle. It's almost as bad as an Aztek.

That is blasphemous....nothing is as ugly as an aztek

Actually I'm in a similar situation. I was handed down a beat up '94 sentra with tags and insurance all paid for. So now I alternate between it and the S depending on how crappy the roads/parking condition will be. MAN, the difference is night and day. I have a WHOLE new found respect for the S.

I can sympathize. I drive a 2005 Civic DX with a slushbox daily, and have done so for a year and a half. D17 with little go on tap (117 hp??). Actually, it's not that bad...however, getting back into the S2000 and mashing the gas suddenly feels like I am piloting a super-car.

It does make one appreciate how brilliant the S2000 is.
