Im in the market for 1 main reason nobody mensioned and for a few other reasons, and i swore i would never owned a honda.

4.looks
3.reliability
2.rarity
1.forged internals(turbo to 450rwhp with no rebuild of engine sold me)

I wanna smoke V8's in a 4cylinder, i love being the underdog and making people's jaw's drop. beating v8 mustangs in a 2k celica gts was fun. Now i want to go after some faster V8's and not the slowest.

 

I didn't know anything about the s2000 but my brother told me about it... and the first s2000 I sat in I bought. (I was 18... and it was my first car)

 

Started with multiple street encounters with S2000s. I would always keep right up with them, then they'd hit VTEC and walk away. Kindof like a tease. If I'd out right won or lost that would have been one thing, but to be close to even for a while, and then the S2000 would just leave me behind, well...

Then last year I started looking at new cars (a lot of them), and the S2000 had a great Power-to-weight ratio in a 30k package. Add the convertable top and the S2000 aggresive look, and here I am...

 

I liked the S2000s since it came out.
I couldn't afford 2 cars and I thought the S was not suitable for a DD.
When I had my R32, I realized the S could be daily driven and wanted to buy one but couldn't let the R32 go.
I decided to wait a few more years till I could afford another car, and guess what... God understood my prayers all wrong.
I got into an accident and my R was totalled
somehow I wasn't attracted to the 350zs and I decided to sacrifice some luggage space for a wonderful sports car.

It's been my little dream-car for the past five years. I've positively drooled over the things. I've been lurking around this forum for years before buying one, and plan to keep mine for a long long time. Failing that, I'll have one in my ownership for a long, long time

It's sexy as hell. I could spend an entire day detailing it, and then another entire day just admiring it.

I'm a HUGE car nut (all cars..), of the >100 cars I've driven, the S2000 just downright feels the best - and I'm putting it up against some serious competition in the list. I'd rank the Miata very high up on the list, too - to be honest (it's just plain fun in a very different way - has a lot of character..). I LOVE driving mine. I always find a "long way home".

It's a roadster. I'm sold right then and there.

Overall, it's the first car I've owned which I didn't buy at all because of numbers / specifications / practicality / price / "anything that you'd normally consider when buying a car". I bought it just because I love it

 

The history of it. How it a Formula 1 design car.

It is best if you read all the sticky about the S2K. or dig more info on the S2K.

basically the car is my "Dream Car"

I know... it is rediculous for a Dream Car to be a HONDA... But it is.... I plan to keep this car like ... FOREVER!!!!
Even when I'm rich i'll still keep this car and get some other car to play with.

 

exterior interior engine performance 10000X better than my 98 prelude or 00 accord and i wont even start with civics.. oh so freaking common

 

I had 10 grand in my RSX and probably needed another 10 grand to get it where I wanted it to be. Got tired of modding the car.

I wanted a car track-ready right out of the box. The S is better stock than my modded RSX was. (No diss on the RSX. It was a fun car.)

 

duh - it's a Honda!

researched for about a year - begged the significant other for another.

-convertible
-fantastic lines (no front end compares, IMO)
-sports car
-awesome handling
-good power-to-weight ratio
-9000 rpm redline!

 

Vtec.. 2 seater. Rwd!
