how about the z3 then?? you can find z3s that are the same price as s2000s. z3s are fun and intimate cars. they may not be as performance oriented as the s2000, but there is more than enough performance to satisfy 85% or the people out there. on top of that, z3s have traction and stability control which are good safety nets for novice rwd drivers. also, depending on your power craving and needs, there is an assorted choice of engines to choose from--all of which are fairly torquey compared with the s2000's.

 

ahem. the S2000 is plenty quick enough. if it wasn't, we wouldn't be having the problems with "Street Encounters"
anyways, if you guys get that much snow and cold weather, you might want to think of getting a hardtop too then. more practical.
not looking to the first winter in this car in that uninsulated soft top... oh well.

 

yeah i was for sure gonna get the hardtop.
just looking for a good deal on a s2k

or thinking of waiting till they revamp the IS300

 

how bout the g35 awd??

 

G35x is a sedan and only comes in automatic.
