Default is the CR worth it?

hi all,

i'm new to the forums but have a bunch of friends who own s2k's. i'm looking to get a 2008 s2k CR edition as a second car. my question is if the CR is worth getting over the regular trim s2k? the price difference seems to be only 2k but my friend who works at a honda dealership says there is a lease special on the regular s2k.

i really want to get the CR because of the extras but my friend says it will be harder to negotiate a good monthly payment on the CR. should i settle for the regular s2k or go for the CR?

thanks for the advice guys.

whyy get a CR.. All you getting is the interior and the tires o and a front lip!!!

Those BRIDGESTONE isn't worth it!! WHY WOUld U wANT A PERMANENT HARD TOP! defeat the purpose of having convertible!.. Horse power is the same. Same suspension same everything!


Get a regular convertible and just add on a front lip will look better!!!!


YOu can always add a hard top and u can remove it.



HOW DO I KNOw ALL OF THIs! my brother is the manager of David mcdavid honda!

well thats not completely true... at all.

The CR has many differances and its up to you to find out if its worth it for yourself, the CR has stiffer suspension, quicker steering ratio, yes it does have a hard top and tonnoau (sp*) cover but thats only the only differance. Do a search for it there is tons of threads on this. no offence mr. Manger of David Mcdavid but your info isent accurate.

Wrong info.


The Bridgestones are worth it, the hard top does come off, and the suspension is stiffer.

IMO the CR looks ugly..someone in my section(Vegas) just got one and i thought it may look a bit different in person, but it still looks ugly to me.

If you aren't planning on taking the s2000 to the track, I would say just get a regular one.

thanks for the info...

how much would a hardtop be by itself? one of the main reasons i am considering the CR is because i live in the northeast where it would be beneficial to have the hardtop on during the winter months.

The OEM hard top is almost $3000, and if you want a convertible, I'd go with a base as it has a folding soft top.
