I do like the speakers behind the seat head rest.
I didnt like the lack of torque in the s2k too.

The G35 is so much better...You should look into that car.
Totally different cars however....


Although when I test drove it, the room is 10x better vs the S2K, everything else was eh... It's a cruising car more than anything. It is still very nice though.

It's just a tight car regardless of your size. The cabin really hugs to your body and it's not just about height.

even my brother being 5'10 found it quite difficult in the drivers seat. Its a tight area over there.
I fit fine. Friends of mine 6'2 200 fit fine in the drivers. Teammate of mine that's 6'4 220 fits passenger-- can't say it is comfortable top up but it's liveable.

To each his own.

I am a shorter guy so it didn't matter with me. However, it's a tight fit overall so you should consider that. As a matter of fact....go test drive one and you'll know for yourself.

Two other cars come to mind...and they are both different animals as Reechy said.....

G35
Acura TL

The S2000 is not fast or have torque compared to a G35, Z350, STI, Evo....BUT....it's freaking fun to drive.

I do like the cars all you have mentioned, but I am coming off of riding motorcycles for year and want the closest thing on four wheels to riding a bike. I was in a couple accidents and don't want to take any more chances with all the stupid drivers on the road. (My last crash, which totaled my gixxer, was because somebody ran a stop sign and took me out.) For that reason I love the high revving nature of the S2k. It just seems like it is like driving a go-cart on the street. The did go to one of the local dealers around me and they are calling my when they get a new one in so I can go test drive it. I am looking to get a 04/05 in the fall to early winter so I don't know how the 07 will compare. Thanks for the help.

Fork out the extra cash and get an 06+. You won't regret it The AP1 haters will choke on our 2.2 and fully reprogrammable ECU :fawk:
