Someone made a point above that illustrates my own personal concern with the updated '04. At the expense of going OT for a second, I hope the car's "frantic Banshee on a budget" personality doesn't get watered down (IOW, no VTEC slap, rather a nice linear band) or massaged away to the point where our baby F1's become the darling of south Florida real estate saleswomen, like a Lexus SC430.
If focus groups, not engineers, were behind these changes, then I can definitely see the S2000 becoming this decade's 280ZX. With that in mind, I'd get the '03
in a heartbeat because you KNOW what you're getting there...the car as it was designed to be. Taking away that 6K kick in the pants is like throwing a fig leaf on David.

 

go check out sierra honda in monrovia and look for John. he's a member on the board and should have a good deal with him. and i would prefer to buy the accessories somewhere else, that way you can save some $$.

 

By the time you make your decision, rumors about the MY05 will be out with the 2+2 seating and the T-tops and room for 2 golf bags. It will be the S2000zx model.

Buy the 03 and enjoy the classic style and performance.

 

I am coming off owning and driving an audi tt w/ quattro for the past three years and just purchased a 2003 silverstone w/ red interior to replace it with. I was going through the same scenario of "should I wait and see", and after much consideration it dawned on me that this car , in its present form is so much fun and such a perfect example of what I was looking for that there was no more debate. Stop chasing your tail and pull the trigger.

 

I failed to mention that I got a great deal on my s2k @ Penske honda in Ontario CA. They currently have a bunch on the lot (white w/ tan,red w/ black and sebring w/black). Good luck!

 

alexchou,

thanks for the info, i will give Sierra a call.
