11 TO 1 COMPRESSION RATIO, 9000 RPM SHIFT POINT, VTECH, HONDA RELIABILITY, MOSTLY HAND BUILT, LIMITED PRODUCTION (ALMOST)
TOPLESS AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST S2KI.COM OH FORGOT TO ADD IT'S THE FASTEST PER LITER MASS PRODUCED CAR AVAILABLE...

WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?!

 

because you dont want a ricer civic

 

Punctuation please.

240hp, 2.0L (2000-2003) or 2.2L (2004-on)

This is not the car to buy if all you care about is going fast in a straight line. 1/4mi is usually in the high 13s. 0-60 usually around 5.5sec if you launch it.

Premium fuel only. Most people use synthetic oil.

Depends.

The S2000 is RWD... I hope that was a typo...

Welcome, but please try to use punctuation in the future... reading your post is giving me a headache.

 

Not trying to be a jerk, but have you even driven one? Do you even know if your going to like it?

Drive one first before you start asking questions. Believe me, you'll save yourself a lot of time.

 

^ I'm in complete agreement. I think the main reason for buying an S2000 is that you test drove one and fell in love. It's a driver's car, nothing else.

 

^^^ If you have to ask why you should buy the car, then you should NOT buy the car. It's a specialty car that's aimed at a niche market, and if you were in the target niche, you wouldn't have to ask.

To anyone who has to ask this kind of question, the answer is a resounding NO!!!

 

I hate when people say VTECH lol, makes you wonder why they signed up on the forums.

 

well its nice to know about the car before you drive it dont you guys think, im not going to buy a car just cause how it drives i need to know about it too..duh! i know you guys are not being rude but thats how it is the car is amazing seen videos and reviews i sat in one today in a dealership they are just expensive you know, iv never been into hondas but the s2000 really cought my eye i guess i do need to drive it too to make my finial choice, but by the way you guys are talking about it looks like its in the books for me..... oh yeah i dont care if i cant spell right or make proper grammer comments here... hahaha atleast you can understand what im saying and so much for your head ache that your able to respond : )

 

2 things:

1) I'm sorry - I can't understand what you're saying. Try a sentence. Sorry I couldn't resist.

2) You should not buy an S2k, based on the questions you're asking. It sounds like you want a car for something other than driving. You haven't mentioned anything about what makes the S2000 great, and therefore I suspect most of us don't believe you'd find it to be the "right" car for you. The S2000 is definitely a driver's car. It's not super-fast in a straight line unless you wail on it, because that's not what it's designed for. But through the twisties it's a blast. You REALLY should drive one if you still think you're interested.
