Well the thought of back seats are always nice, i dont like 350Z dont like the styling and the interior, just not for me. The G on the other hand really catches the eye. I just didnt think the G was such a slug.

the Honda s2000 is not that fast.

If you want a faster car get an M3 or something

it's not even a luxury sports car. it's a luxury sports coupe. you can't expect it to have the same performance numbers as a roadster or sportscar. actually no one expects it except for the uninformed.

so lease an M3

but the s2000 is almost the same speed as a g35. Its not worth getting rid of the g35 for a s2000


a g35 for an M3 or a c6 Vette fine.


if 50k is too much


get a EVO or a STI

those will blow the s2000 away

The backseat has come more than handy in certain situations. You just never know when you need a back seat

Not to mention looks wise - nothing looks as good as the G on the road. To this day when I see the G on the road I get excited. Not so much on an S2000. Have fun.

Some people are more concerned with handling and the fun factor while driving than straight line speed.

I went from an S2K to a G35c and sometimes I miss the S2K. If the S2K is practical for you, do it.

sports car
noun

1. A small fast car, usually a two-seater, often with a low-slung body which has a roof that can be removed or folded back, and which has particularly quick acceleration.

While there is no specific definition of sports car even counting that above, the G35 is a touring car not a sports car while the S2000 is a sports car. However, handling is the emphasis not speed or straight line acceleration. Look at the Miata.

America have great open space with long stretches of straight road so we love straight line performance, so having a true sports car is not that important to many. If you go with the S2000 I hope you are truly someone who enjoys the handling, and not a 1/4mi or straight line racing type. Otherwise you will still be disappointed.

He was talking about the STi or EVO which would blow the S2000 away in twisties or straight line. Probably more fun to drive too, but I wouldn't know, I've never driven either one.

Edit: Come to think of it all 4 cars he listed would blow the s2000 away on a track.

Get the S2000!!! I used to own an S2000 prior to having kids, and my 2005 G35C doesn't even compare.

Or, if you have the $$$, check out the Lotus Elise

Yeah those are some nice cars. I think I like that more than the 350Z, but the G is the car for me.

The S2000 is a fun car but it may not be a practical choice for daily commuting or long distance (anything more than 4 hours).
Think carefully about what you plan to use the S2000 for.
I have the S2000 and it's a hoot but I think I'll go nuts if I have to drive it for a month straight.
I'm not saying you shouldn't get the S2000 but give serious thought to getting a beater car if you do get it.

does it get tiring lets say for a 30 minute drive, its just i dont have kids no family so i can enjoy a car like this for now, later on in life, you can forget about S2000 maybe weekend car but then whats the point. I rather make money and drive the exotics at that point
