I signed a bill of sale last Saturday for an AP1 with low miles. Going to pick it up this coming Saturday, only one dilemma. It's currently Monday morning, with a full work week ahead of me that I'm sure will be impressively slow.
I've been looking for an s2000 for years blindly, so I've decided to compare it against my current car, the 2002 Dodge Neon ES, and the results were surprising. I may have made a big mistake, but I think it's too late now!

lmao. i hope you aren't serious, but i did get a good laugh at your post either way...

 

neon > s2k

neon ftw!

 

 

Of course I'm serious! With the way evolution has been acting up recently, its only a short matter of time before lobsters sprout wings and pose great threat to convertible owners. Crap! I better warn the Miatas!

 

If you're looking for a family car with 5 seats and 3 cup holders, the S2000 is not for you. Plain and simple.

 

plain and simple the s2000 never be compared to a neon es.........

 

yes if your serious about this post then you are

 

Something tells me your no though

 

You can do better than 28 MPG, at least I have in my 04. Driving mostly highway at 70-75 MPH I once managed 31 MPG, and overall average is 27.7 MPG since I've owned the car.
