Why the S2000 costs more:

1. It's made in and shipped from Japan. The Civic Si is built and shipped from USA.

2. S2000 is limited in production compared to the Civic Si.

3. Apparently, the S2000 is hand-built (maybe just the motors? I don't remember exactly but I remember reading about that here and in other places). The Civic Si is not.


Those are the reasons I can think of just off the top of my head.

Price and performance aren't directly tied to each other for various reasons.

Mazdaspeed3 and the Cobalt SS spank the Civic Si. I don't get why anyone would get a Civic Si sedan with the MS3 out there.

I can think of a couple reasons...

1) The MS3 is a wagon(ugly).

2) The Cobalt is... ugly.



Plus, I would pick the Si over both of those cars, just because it's a Honda, and I think it looks a ton better. Even if it's slower.
But these are driver's cars. Do not care about looks
