any comments on the above linked cars?
See 'em in person, test drive, have them checked out. Pretty much the same as any used car shopping...

Anyway, if you do buy an S2K, you're finally going to be straying away from the ricer crowd.

How tall are you? I'm 6'3" and had an issue too with seeing under the top of the windshield... I picked up a seat bracket made by Backyard and it made a World of different, I now feel like I'm sitting IN the car, as apposed to on top.

Best of luck with your descision, you won't be disappointed if you get into one!

im 6'1" with a long torso. i do plan getting the taitec rails (if they mount the lowest) with a recaro SPG or similar seat so it drops me down a few inches. i still need to test drive the 2000-2001 subaru impreza RS (GC8) and rule it out or keep it also as a final choice. anyone driven the impreza?
