Default What year?

As the titles states, "What year is the best S2000?". I mean engine wise, interior, exterior.


Im selling my FD really soon, and beginning to look for S2000's and cant figure out what year is the best. I really want to get the F20, but some people have told me that they are basically the same. I dont want to have any crappy interior pieces, or anything of that sort. I need opinions guys...

They are all great! It just depends on how much you want to spend.

On the engine side pre 2004 had the 9k redline but a little less torque.

I would probably not get a model before 02 only because they were working out some transmission bugs and you want the glass rear window not the plastic one which was on 00-01. My 03 has never had a problem of course it only has 13k miles on it. As long as they are well taken care of they seem to be bulletproof.

Just my .02

That depends on your budget.

If you like the 2.0 litre, get an 02-03 simply because of some of the small changes in regards to having a glass window in the convertible top, factory tweeters, "leather" console cover, etc.

If you like the 2.2 litre, anything 04 and up.

if you really want the 2.0 litre, i'd get the MY02 (rear glass window) and replace with MY04 exterior/interior pieces as desired.
