ALL!

It's a free country out there. If you were really into any else besides S2k's then why bother with this site. I just recently purchased my S2k that I saved up for the last two years. If that isn't commitment enough than what is.

Live free or die!

 

is there a transmission problem with this car...?

said "transmission problems"

i want to buy a 2003 S2000. for my daily driver and basically only transportation. is this car reliable...? honest opinions please.

 

I've had my car for 47k miles and no problems. I have an '01. I rest my case. Perhaps some people are referring to the 1-2 shift grind from the earlier models which some cars had some cars didn't, and seemed to depend upon how overly eager owners were with the shifting from 1 to 2.

 

for the price you pay for a brand new s2000, i'd recommned a one or two year old bmw 330ci. Not only will it smoke the s2000 off the line all the time, but in the top end the s2000 couldn't really hang. Only when speeds reach above 130 would the s2000, IMO, have a chance of pulling ahead. Don't forget the s2000 is not a high torque car, that's why the RPM needs to go up to 9000...plus the 330 has great handleing....

The other benifit is you get bmw service and not honda service...I know some people may like the honda service, but until they deal with BMW or Mercedes they wont know the difference...like trying to return something a Marshalls, and something at Nordstroms...

Umm, that's 330ci. You should ask my co-worker who settled for the 330ci. He still wishes he got an S2000.

no I'm sorry...if the s2000 had a stage 4 turbo setup, fully race modified...I agree he could beat the bmw off the line...sorry...

my point is going down a mountain road, the low end torque that the bmw has will take the s2000.

 

go ahead...I have no problem...I still stand by my bmw...
