That is a question to ask from your parents before they purchase you one. Now that you already have one, there is absolutely no point in this question whatsoever especially from you.

It depends how mature of an 18 year old you are. I bought my old BMW that was new at the time, a few years back when I turned 18 and I was fine, but if my other friends who were the same age as me had that car they would of killed themselves. If you respect the car and realize that it is rwd with some decent power, and if you don't drive like Cole Trickel then you should be fine. Good luck

Age doesn't matter, it's how much experience and skill you have with such cars. Just my $.02

Do you think a 18 year old can handle and be responsible with an s2k?

I am pretty passive, I'm not like competitive, thinking everyone is trying to race me. But I do enjoy driving very much.

Probably not. The S can be a lil sqirrelly at times. That, coupled with a 18 year olds need to "be cool" can result in bad times.
