Default Is300 to S2k

Hey guys

I currently own a lexus IS300. Do you think I should give up the is300 and get the s2k or do you think I maybe choosing the dumb way. I work at the honda dealer and my dad is friends with the manager there so I can probably get a good deal for the s2k. You guys let me know.

Dennis

If you are looking for thrills, excitement like never before, and a straight up bad ass car, go for the s2k. You will have to give up a lot of space though.

I notice you're from around Chicagoland.. Would this be your only car? I don't know if you would want to drive it around in the winter. I know some of those Crazy canadian members (j/k) drive it all year.. but I haven't driven mine in the winter yet. This is funny because I was thinking of trading the opposite way, my S2000 for an IS300

Y do you u want to trade your s2k for the is300. Is it becuase you want more space and luxury. Yeah the is300 does havea lot more room then the s2k and the ride feels better. But for me I wamt to get a stick and I love the way the s2k shifts.
Also since I work at the hoinda dealer and my dad is freinds with the manager I can get a could deal for the s2k.

we own both and love both.

they are not even remotely the same type of car, so you really need to ask yourself what you want.

if you want an excellent handling, yet comfortable and refined sports sedan (with the absolute pinnacle of customer and dealer support) then keep the IS.

if you want the most visceral roadster available and can live w/o four doors, back seats, etc. and live with sub par dealers and customer service then get the S.

Except you can read the S2000's gauges.

I'm used to it. It's so easy to get used to it. If I get the s2000 I have to get used to the digital guages. The s2000 does n't have any needles like the IS300 did.
