Well, do you need the extra 2 doors? Do you want torque? Do you want AWD? Do you want a turbo car or one with gocart like handling? Do you want a car with a lot of potential or are you just going to leave it stock? We really shouldn't be deciding for you. You know what you need in a car better than anyone else.

 

if you decide on an s2k you probably should wait for the 2004s to come out. they redid the motor and some body styling. you could probably get a 03 for cheaper then too.

 

I say you SHOULDNT wait for the 2004's to come out...

 

I dont know, S2000's + r-compound tires = Autocross NIGHTMARES! (seriously)

 

apples and oranges,
that is what this one seems like to me.
s2g is nice for honda, rwd, inline vtec, n/a 240hp like10g redline
probably weighs 600 hundred pounds less, it is a fast little roadster, i thinkit is the most powerful 2 liter engine on the market, i am not to fond of hondas but this car is cool, if you have something else to drive, like a sedan or a beater, where in ca you live i do not know, but winter wheater i would not want to drive it around, worry about other people. s2g great car but but the sti is still an impreza, 4 dr fits peoiple in nicely, pretty versitale, you have room, it hauls ***, it is a sound design awd drive system, if the s2g was fwd i would tell you to run and hide, it is up to you.
will it be a secound car, or the one you will spending a lot of time in.
