That seems low since according to wikipedia there were 7000 S2000's made every year (in the US) between 03 and 06. Can you site your source? (not trying to be a dick, but it seems really low).

And I'm not saying it's a civic in the sense that it's cheap car for the masses, but back in the day, the civic was THE car to have for people to mod - in terms of potential and availability. Now it's evo's/sti's.

 

Owners of both FTW! Well said my friend, you are uniquely qualified to judge.

/thread.

 

The Evo always felt "cheap" to me. Feels like a cheap car with lots of expensive parts thrown in...the interior is an absolute joke, it feels like an economy car in there (just with expensive seats).

Sure it's fast and fun, but I just couldn't get past that cheapness when car shopping. But bang-for-the buck it's hard to beat. Along with the MazdaSpeed3 and Cobalt SS it's insane how cheap you can get a really fast car for.


S2000 is just a totally different vehicle...FMR convertible. I chose the S. **** practicality, I'm young and unmarried. I have the rest of my life to own a "practical" car. I don't give two shits about a backseat or big trunk when I've got the top down and the wind in my hair.


This is an interesting topic though. :-)

 

Owned both:
S2k: more rewarding to drive, can be a very fast track car for really cheap, big tires, big wing, tear the interior out..tough to beat

evo: much more practical, much faster in normal situations (40 mph in 4th and you need to go), easy to drive fast

 

An Evo IV? Really? That was a Japan-only car... they didn't even begin importing to the UK until the V.

Seriously, though, the S2000 and Evo (any gen) are two completely different cars. Do you want a 2-seat FR convertible, or a 4-seat, 4-door AWD supercar? (and, yes, I call the Evo a supercar)

Both are great examples of their breed. I used to own an AP2 S2000, now I own an Evo X MR. I'm now looking for a nice Evo VIII or IX to turn into a track car...

You can search on EvoM.net or google it. Mitsu only sent 3k evos every year to the U.S.

 

Just boost the S2000 and kill EVO/STI all day

 

For what it is the Evo isn't very fast (STI is faster) but they look nice. The Evo X MR is 5.4 0-60 and the 2009 Subaru Impreza WRXSTI is 4.7 for less money.

I heard the interior is terrible? Never been in one though.

 

Amen to that... i own both as well...

My wife hates the evo! Likes how it drives hates how it looks...

S2K on the other hand is the only car she`d want to have, i feel the same way too!

recently got another s2k(gpw) for me, since she keeps stealing my suzuka...

s2000 to be are better overall, i can live without my evo(but i do enjoy the power and torque of it). And for a sedan it actually looks nice in my opinion...

If i had to choose one of the two, it would be S2K... u can always supercharged it too

 

Tried searching and this is the first post I came up with:

Looks like there isn't a real definite answer though as my searches are coming up with anywhere between 4 and 7 thousand a year. This was the only post I found that cited a source.
