Maybe you're just that good a teacher!


I don't think the CRZ is a bad car, I just couldn't find it's purpose when I drove one. Not good on space, not very efficient for it's design, and handling just seemed mediocre (in stock form).

The purpose is fuel mileage. While it still isn't a first gen Insight, my student did still get 24 MPG beating on the car for two days.

Exactly...that's why I suggested the SOS II instead of a turbo. Other than oil changes and regular maintenance, haven't done anything else to mine in the last 3 years and 40k miles. Its as reliable as my Avalon :-)

I have the parts sitting in my garage to take my SOS II to over 500 HP but just haven't felt the need for it yet...maybe in August I will finally make some changes. Who knows...

Well no CRZ, apparently they are on no-sell /recall same as new Civics. ALL years new and used. Even if you buy one private you still have to take it to Honda for a loaner while they figure it out some time in the summer. No thanks.

Ditch the EVO. Ditch the civic. Buy a 06-08 TSX. Keep the S2000. Pocket and then frivolously gamble the remaining $500,000. Bet it all on black.

If you want a small MPG car, buy a manual 1G insight instead of a CRZ.

I have a 2006 TSX MT tech for a DD and I absolutely love it. I added wheels and Tein SA coilovers. Boom. Magically transformed into an incredibly fun and good looking car with no compromises.

I would never sell my S2000. Unless it was for another S2000.

You will never "get over" the S2000. Never.

Sell the evo! I came from a 500whp sti to my s2000 and I have 0 regrets. Every once in a while, ill start to miss the subie, then Ill go for a cruise in my s and I fall in love all over again. I've owned 8 cars in the 3 years I've been driving snd the s and my 92 vr4 (rip) are the only 2 I would never consider selling.
