STi.

I've owned both ('05 STi & '06 S2k) and if you only have one vehicle the S2000 will not do the complete job.

My S is a DD 65mile round trip for work. Ive grown to get use to the drive for work(alot of traffic), but when im free i let her rip and get the real NA power feeling.

I like FI cars but seems too unreal, but a built NA S motor is VERY nice. Allthough sooner or later the SC/Turbo will have to come in play.


Why not get both S and STI?

GL on your choice.

i'd recommend the sti due to the space. but for myself, i prefer the S, due to the fact it is straight sex.

2 very different cars...i was in the same debate about 2 months ago and well...STI's are not reliable and s2k's are. That sold me. Nothing pisses me off more than my car breaking down...damned 96 eagle talon, i will never forget you because you sucked so much leaving me dead on the road countless times!

If DD, STI is more practical. If looking for fun to drive roadster and practicality thrown out the window then S2K.

''I actually drove both already. I know they are sedan and sportcar but are similar that they are performance fun cars. Can I just ask why you guys bought your S2k over other sportcar/ fast cars?''

hp/liter, Vtec, gearbox, reliability, resale, classy looks...combine all of these and its hard to find a better deal for the money.

I daily drive my S and love every minute. My roomate has an STI. I prefer my S over the STI pretty much anyday except snowy ones.

kinda easy to say when you've never owned the car before.... the only reason an STi would be unreliable is because of it's owner. My STi never gave me any problems at all vs my old AP2 that had a 2nd gear recall....

STi has way more torque, better stopping, same reliability as S2k, alcantara, meaner look, better daily driver, and same price range

S2K gets better mileage, smoother ride both city/hwy, leather, sexier look, and same price as STi.

Honestly, I feel the STi comes more complete for the price if you don't mind the noise comfort level. I miss my STi all the time, but decided with the S because, it looks good and well, I don't mind Hondas at all, since I started out in an EK. My S is a daily driver, and when that heat soaks in, good lord... but... I get good gas from it so who cares, I didn't buy my car for power anyways. As for reliability, they are about the same. It's mainly driver's fault, not cars when problems occur. Anyways, hope this helps you decide which to get, you won't be at a lost either way.

RWD!

The S2000 is more fun to drive than the STi.
