Hi All
i am new to this forum and i am still in the phase of planning to buy a car. i am currently driving an Impreza non turbo and i love its handling, i love the S2000 and i want to buy a new one but every time i see a more luxury car with 4 seats like the legacy 3.0 with the F1 paddle shifter or the G35 i feel that by buying the S2000 i will miss the luxury and the 4 seats. but my heart keep pumping every time i think of a roadster with the top down and the sound of the 2.0 engine revving to 8000.
please tell me what should i do?

 

buy an s2000. just a thougt...imo.

 

Gotta ask yourself if you'll ever NEED the space afforded by a sedan. If you will, two options.

1) Don't buy the S2000.
2) Buy the S2000 and also get another car with 4 seats (not something as nice as a new Legacy or G35 though).

If you like the NA Impreza, why not move up to a WRX or STi. Very very different from an S2000 but still fun AND you can share that fun with more than 1 person at a time.

 

I came from a sedan and I know I didn't need all that space BUT I got used to "having" it readily available to me.

80% of the time I'm the only one in my S and my trunk is empty. Now, I'm in the predicament where I just want more space. I want to be able to get in and out of the car easily. I want to be able to move around.

I'm at the point where I truly believe the S is more of a weekend car. The S is a fun car to drive but after it being my DD for 1 year, I want that extra space again.

 

To me.
I don't like driving people around except girl, of course.

So if i want to drive in a sedan I just borrow my girl's car or something. hahahahah
I've been driving sedan and auto for like so long that I just sick and hate of it.
so roadster & stick. lovin it.

 

So then what does your girl drive when you take her car?

 

it is the 2.2L revs to 8000

 

Need vs. Want

Which will win out?

 

Same here. This has been my DD for over 4 years. 90% of the time it is just me in the car. I love it, but I really need something with more space.

I love my S, but as a DD I would trade up for a WRX STi if I could. If I had another car that allowed me to drive the S at my leisure, I don't think I would be so eager to give it up.

 

If you're already worried about giving up the luxury and carrying capacity of a sedan, then DO NOT buy an S2000. You'll regret it.

You need to be somewhat hardcore to own an S2000 as your only car. That is what I'm doing, and I do feel like I'm making a sacrifice to own this car. I just don't like big heavy sedans, even though they are more convenient.
