Default How is the ride in the S2000?

I have had an RSX and right now I have a CL-S 6speed. I was curious to see what everyone thought of the ride quality of the S2000? I have read that it is a little rough on the highway, but I wanted to get some real feedback. Thanks!

I think you should go and test drive one yourself and then form your own conclusions. What I think is "comfortable" may feel "rough" to you, so it is very hard to do such subjective evaluations. Only you can say what ride quality you like. Good luck.

These guys wont commit to it but, yes - this puppy is pretty stiff.
I really like a tight suspension that hugs the road and doesn't bounce-rebound alot in dips n bumps.
The S2000 setup from the factory is easily twice the stiffness of my old '94 Integra LS, and even stiffer than my '98 Integra GSR.

Stiff is good - performance is good - plus you can hold down your passengers "fun bags" as you bounce down the freeway.

Seriously, compared to your Acuras it should feel much stiffer.

Stiff = good For a speed freak I would say its comfortable, but non car fanatics would think its bouncy.

It's bouncy in a good way.. it's stiff and settle quite quickly. You'll feel almost every imperfection on the road. But it doesn't rock you up and down like a boat. I personally love it.

It's definitely no where near RSX or CL Type S comfort.

It's really BuUuUmMmMpPyYyY. Naw j/k, it's actually not as bad especially if you've driven anything lowered and made by Honda ie., Civic, Integra... When you drop it then it will feel real stiff, but it is meant to be like that and is pretty bearable.
