How driveable are they in winter?
Gas mileage?
Performance?
Size, will someone who is 6' feet in comfortably?
Storage, how many golf clubs and overnight bages can fit in.

Thanks alot.
My mom picked out her xmas present

**max_boost** · 10-14-2003, 08:06 PM

Driveable with winter tires
Gas mileage, like any other Honda, depends how you drive
Performance is raw, jekyll and hyde response depending where in the power band you are. Handles amazingly well

Will probably not fit someone 6'feet comfortably
Fits two sets of golf clubs

I'm selling one, but I don't think this car is designed for your mom.

If she's used to driving those TQ machines, she'll be wondering why she paid $40-50k on a car that's gutless... unless she drives the shit outta the car

haha, i guess.

Ive never driven an S2000, do they really have that weak of a low end??

My mom always has cool cars

We had a 30th anniversary Camaro SS for about a month, but now she needs a Honda

**Ben** · 10-14-2003, 08:55 PM

for driving around town it will be a night and day difference from what shes used to. Hell, I test drove one and my car had more torque...but christ...from 6000+ = Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Basically...drive it like ya stole it or dont expect anything out of the ordinary.

**ecstasy_civic** · 10-14-2003, 08:59 PM

oh ok lol
thats good for her, shes pretty calm in traffic, but she'll put the boots to it when she gets a chance.

Imagine 13mpg when we had the cobra, so a good indication of how she drove, thats why we have a V6 now lol

**max_boost** · 10-14-2003, 10:00 PM

I hope she doesn't put the boots to it around a corner or in poor road conditions or else she'll see the concrete divider/wall etc. This car is very unforgiving if pushed too far and the driver doesn't know how to handle it.

If they are interested in a used one, they should consider looking at mine. Just a suggestion if they want to save $15K over a brand new one

If they intend to purchase a new one, best of luck!

ive heard a lot of ppl say that the s2k handles well until its limits are reached, where it suddenly fucks shit up...

i think all cars are like this

actually some cars can be quite predictable when being driven past its limits.

**hjr** · 10-15-2003, 10:02 AM

i was under the impression that the s2000 had pretty terrible milage. i read in a mag a while back it was around 10mpg or so. slighty better than a corvette. But i could be remembering wrong i suppose. But Its definetely something to think about.

**RiCE-DaDDy** · 10-15-2003, 10:45 AM

id say mpg is in the low 20's with mixed driving.

well jeff, i would think that if the car is past its limits then its "out of control" but if its still predictable and controllable then id would say its not past its limits

when ppl refer to the "limits" of a car, they are talking about the limits of traction, not the limits of control.

**hjr** · 10-15-2003, 10:48 AM

Fuel economy EPA highway (mpg): 26 and EPA city (mpg): 20

disreguard my earlier post. that must have been in race RPM's or something.

**Ben** · 10-15-2003, 10:55 AM

All cars are pigs on fuel when driving hard.

You just have to know what you're doing. At 7000rpm, there's a LOT of engine braking, so when you let off, it's the equivilant of pulling the e-brake on some cars

.

Imagine doing that in a corner... and you'll see why there's a lot of crashed S2K's in the states by the FnF type drivers.
