So what's the fascination with the S2K...

Gosh if you have to ask, you'll never get it.

Actually I have owned a lot of cars from cheapos to exotics and there is a certain balance that the S has.

The only other car I have owned that had it was a 93 RX7.

By balance I don't mean just the weight distribution, but it is the appropriate power amount and power band for the car to go along with a suspension that tales advantage of it all. It's balanced in all aspects.

Also I had a Miata and there were certain creature amenities that it lacked or were in the wrong places and the S just FIT.

Sure every car I've owned I would have liked just 20 more hp, but 100 more foot pounds of torque, you couldn't give it to me anymore. That would just show up my foibles behind the wheel. Everytime I got a little to heavy on the loud pedal and I spun you'd know it was my lack of skill.

That would also spoil the fun factor because I'd have to always be watching what I did instead of just being able to relax.

I also liked it's looks and the headlights.

When you drive the car and realize that it is the funnest car to drive... you'll understand why we like it so much. You will NEVER get bored of driving this car... NEVER!!!!

Before I got the S2, I had a Prelude.

I told myself that my next car will be rwd, high powered, 6spd, and lightweight.

The S fits in all the categories.
