Picking up my 04 S2000 tomorrow!

Found an 04 Honda S2000 with 7,200 miles on it...yes you read that right 7,200. Price was fair, car is in pristine condition. I do love my 335 but another S2000 was calling my name. Pick her up tomorrow morning! It was a tough call between buying the 335 out or this..S2000 won in the end. Both amazing cars in their own way, and I will miss the 335 a ton.

You have to beat the piss out of it in every single gear to get it moving.

Had one for a few months, learned my lesson and moved on

Congratulations

I had a 2004 GPW S2000 as daily driver prior to picking up 335i. The S2K is overall more fun to drive than 335i.

S2000 is an amazingly fun car to drive. 335i does not come close in terms of fun factor.

Having two 2 seaters was a bit of inconvenience for me, that was the main reason why I went with 335i.

A few years back this dude around me had one in yellow with the hard top on it, it was slammed on black wheels and all these Spoon parts. The car was to die for. I wanted one so bad but I was cramped as hell sitting in that car. My knees were like, on top of the steering wheel. Why do I have to be 6'2

My story exactly
Its very rare that an car can invoke such a bond. I miss that car. I will get another one as soon as family life will allow it.

My first love.

Sat in one a couple days ago after years, nothing beats the ergonomics of that car. Everything is so tightly packed together, and it's perfect.

The S2000 is what the Z cars should have been. Awesome ride.

I do agree it is more fun than a 3 series. And the price point is great.

Have you read the other posts?

It can, and has. Maybe not for you though. But fits the bill fine for many others.

s2000 pricing and fun factor will poop on the 335 all day long.

You would have to be semi retarded to believe that!
its 2 seater convertible vs a 4 door sedan

Its like comparing a minivan to a ferrari.

You would be nuts to say a minivan can replace a Ferrari, as a vehicle yes it can. But its serves a completely different purpose.

OBVIOUSLY the S2K is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more fun then any 335 (coupe/cab/sedan) but it CANNOT take place of a 335 as far as a commuter vehicle or any sort of vehicle in which you will take more then 1.
