i own a 96 prelude, want to get s2000 i test drove the s2000 2002 its pretty noisey and the ride did not feel better than my prelude. probably i drove it on the street ,anyone think i didnt drive fast enough ,no excitement at all,i dont get it.

 

S2K's have a lot of interior noise ( Stiff suspension and a convertible :run: )

When you say it doesn't feel better, did you mean more of a rough ride? Or it didn't handle as well? Because the S2K is more of a rougher ride than a prelude (stock for stock atleast) because it has stiffer suspension setup.
If you're talking about handling, then uhh... you didn't get the full extent of the handling capabilities of the S2K

 

the rough ride,the noisey ride,the handling is good,steering response is not good,did not get a chance to kick vtec,it just didnt want to make me buy it ,maybe more time to spend on driving

 

Why didn't you beat it a bit? I beat on the STi I test drove.

 

I kinda had the same reaction (while test drive), like, well, where's all the hype about also coming from a 95 prelude with some good mods, but once i got the S and i started to drive properly and didn't drive the lude for 3 weeks ,, OMG yes there's some difference specially the FWD x RWD ... i wish i could keep the lude still, but the S is a different experience out of a fun car such Prelude .. a beter experience ..
