That said, the ND2 is quite a bit lighter (2300 vs 2800lbs) and while the shifter is maybe 10% worse, I feel like the steering is much better. Day to day, it also seems quieter and has better seats.
With the way S2k prices are... I might just go for an ND2 first as a learner/first short wheelbase RWD car while I save up some more for an S2k.

dont have enough seat time yet in my ap1 but i do believe the f20c and its shifter is honda at the top of its game after a storied f1 run with mclaren and building several Type Rs. i only have it because fanboy but honestly there wont be anything like it again and it's pretty hardcore short of requiring porsche GT income bracket or lotus/ariel/radical levels of insanity
however, there's something to be said about building a bespoke rwd 2-seater in-house that meets current emission & crash standards AND still be lighter than the carbon & manual steering 4C-- climb under one to find a work of art and wonder how they did it for only 25k USD
it's a tough choice: i think these waning passion projects need support to show they're still a demand for just pure whimisical fun that can be enjoyed without helmet and unlike the s2000 that had only one generation run..because if there's even a future model it'll probably be hybrid/electric, but at the same time securing a s2000 before prices really run away isn't a bad idea either
