Default HOW LONG!

So my dad is being gay, tomorrow were going to see this 2005 S2000 with 27,000 miles on it. He says we shouldnt get it because its a 4 cyln and that the clutch will mess up and there will be problems before we pay it off. I just wanna know if you guys have seen problems to back it up, or you think that there dependable cars that SHOULD LAST!!! NEEEDDDDD HEELPPPP!

Your dad is trying to find an excuse to steer you away from the car...Or has no clue about Honda vehicles what-so-ever. Honda's are some of the most reliable vehicles on the road. If the clutch messes up before 40k miles then the previous driver probably killed it. There are people on here with over 100k miles on their s2000's still on the stock clutch.

If you get one, get an 06+ with VSA so you are less likely to kill yourself.

I'll trade you a more useful response for removing all the caps and exclamation points in your post, plus adding a more descriptive thread title.

This statement alone tells me you are too young to be driving this car.

That 2005 S2000 will fall apart within a year.

Your dad should buy a nice dependable Chevy Aveo.
