Default S2000 owners that also own STI/EVO's

So how many of you are there? I'm in the market to buy a second car and the STI/EVO's have always intrested me.


I'm afraid that if I got one that I'd end up not driving one or the other.

What are your experinces?

Conekiller had both if you can get ahold of him. You could try a PM.

Personally, I would like either for a daily driver.

My brother has both (MY2003 S2k and MY2006 STI). He loves them both. The STI is the daily driver, at least in the Ontario winter he's had it for. I know for a fact that, come summer, he'll be driving the S2k on any sunny day .... The STI has more raw power (guzzling gas accordingly) but he still says the S2k is more fun to drive. Summary: chances are that you'll love both for different reasons and will surely drive them both, especially if you live in an area with four seasons. I know I would if I had both.

I had both (evo and s2k) at the same time for about two days while all the paperwork went through... haha, but the point is that the s is far more fun to drive... in good weather anyway. Dont get that evo/sti expecting it to be more fun, its fun in a different way, but youll get sick of it, and just want to mod the f**k out of it... the s is just pure fun... cant beat its looks and fun factor of driving. i would never go back... but if you can afford it and money is no object, then why the hell not?

When its nice and sunny out hands down the s2k topless is a ton more fun.
When there's snow, the Evo and a good pair of snow tires is a blast.

Both are very different. One will make you appreciate the strengths of the other.

It's nice to have cars with different qualities. I usually try to obtain a sportscar, sportsbike, and luxery vehicle. The total value of these vehicles is usually under 30-35k [17k s2k, 5k bike, 12k lexus LS4]. I could get sell 2 of the 3 for a nice example of 1 of them, but I prefer having a little of all of them instead.

I'm planning on getting an Evo IX this fall. It will probably replace my Prelude in the driving rotation.
