I have driven a few S2000's and frankly, they are fantastic little roadsters! I wouldn't buy one for the trunk space or off-road-ability but for just pure driving fun they are pretty sweet.
This thread was made to advertise the remaining stock on some S2000's. if you don't like the car, don't buy it and definitely don't voice your opinion in this thread as I am sure the sponsor would rather see some positive comments. Start your own S2000 hating fanboi thread in fight club please!

Is the white S2K with slashed pricing a demo model or something?

As for fuel economy, I get around 12.5/100 kms in my S2K with daily driving around the city. Find me an STi owner who gets the same. Good luck to you sir. | I'm sad to say that even with conservative driving it is near impossible to get below 13.0l/100kms in an STI. Very especially if it has a taste for 94 octane.

you can pick up an evo or sti with money to spare...
fuck and the fuel economy rating 11.8L/100km, i thought hondas were supposed to be good on gas, a wrx is rated the same and weighs more with more power/torque and awd... | then go buy yourself a mustang you dumb fuck.

S2000, first car i've owned, and is the car i still miss up until today
even though im driving the 996, more power , torque, everything is better "on paper" but the feel of the s2k wins.
the amount of fun i had with the car, even when i drove the z4 for couple months, it is a similar car but not as agile as the s2k sure its great to have the extra power and torque but nothing beats "spirited driving" when you want some thrill while driving
true, on paper the s2k is nothing special, but its one heck of a car, and if i could own a s2k again, i'd love to
insurance wasnt expensive as well, $3000 per year with 0% discount, its reliable, and it looks good
and gas mileage? it sure is better than my 996 mileage on the s2k wasnt all that bad when i had it... sure the gas guage went down a bit faster... but why wouldnt it? im hitting 9k when i get the chance to!
u can't compare the s2k with other cars like STi, EvoX, or supercars (ferrari etc.)
different class, different purpose
the feel of the s2k when you drive it, is far more enjoyable

I just saw a Blue AP2 today, and I know the S2000 is still one of my top picks.

Ilvtofu is also just a fucking 16/17 year old with just his "L" too.
Unless he just took roadtest recently.
He needs to stop making post likes this until he actually gets some experience and knows what he's talking about.
