I am debating between keeping my S2000 and buying a daily driver and a comptech supercharger (for the S2000). Or keeping my S2000 for another year and then trading it in and getting an 04 or 05 WRX STi.

So I guess the question is, what is a better combo? The STi would be a good daily and also would be fun to drive. But would it be as much fun as the S2000 w/ a supercharger? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

 

I am a firm believer in fun car + DD. Sometimes I drive another car (my Legacy) for a while and may not drive my S2000 for a few days. When I get back in the S2000 after a time it's that much more fun.

(For me) 2 cars > 1 car.

The S2000 is a 2-seat vert (sports car) and the STi is 4-door sedan they can both be fun but different.

How much is a SC? I wonder if it's worth me doing or if I'd rather replace my S2000 with a Cayman S in 1-2 years.

 

are you considering the STI because you need more that 2 seats?? if you merely want something that's more comfortable for daily driving, the STI's ride really isn't that much more comfortable than the S2K's.

Really need 2 more seats and more power. so maybe the DD + Supercharger is the best choice.

 

For a DD, you can buy an older STI, or a WRX or Legacy and go stage 1 down the road.

 

IMO the S2K is more fun to drive, but the sti is a very nice car. Time for test drives, I think.

 

Sorry I can't be of much help, I am in the same situation. Once the basic mods are completed (rims, tires, coilovers, intake, exhaust) is it worth taking the leap and dumping a lot of money in an older car or just use the money to upgrade to a newer car? I'm afraid of spending $8k on S/C only to get bored of it and sell the car after a year or so when I could have just jumped ahead and bought the new car in the first place. The bonus of modifying my existing car is that I have already taken the depreciation hit, whereas if I purchase a new STi, there is still some money to be lost to deprciation.

STi's are lot easier and cheaper to modify, but there is something to be said for a "sleeper" S/C S2000 also.

 

I was considering selling both my S2k and my DSM (beater/DD) to get an EVO, but I just can't part with my S! Kind of sealed the deal when I let my friend (EVO owner) drive my car and he told me I'd be nuts to sell the S.

 

Sometimes I really notice I do need a DD too... The little trunk, not the ability to take more than 1 person with you, just bought a house and quite some times I need to beg someone for a bigger car or rent a van... Thinking on an EVO9 or EVO X, but then again, I cannot live without a vert... Then the thinking goes to the new 3 vert... But after reading all the stories of people selling their S and missing it so much they buy one again... So I'll keep mine too
