Are there any sedans available that can provide a similar experience to an S2000? What do you think is the closest available, current models or not? I was trying to think of something comparable that could be used to haul 4 people around and came up pretty much empty handed.

RX-8 - seems like the obvious choice to me

I didn't think of that, how is the back seat in those? Are they tight for adults?

Agree that the RX-8 is a great choice. In a totally different vein, the E30 M3 is also conceptually rather similar to the S2000 -- high-revving four cylinder engine, relatively light, lacking in many creature comforts.

A 6ft. adult fits semi-comfortable (short trip) in the back.

e36 m3 sedan. not exactly the same experience as an s2k, but it's probably one of the most thrilling sedans ever produced. other candidates would be the EVO and STI.

Rx8toS2k

Rx8 definitely is the closest thing to a S2k. it has smooth engine rev all the way to 9000rpm. I've owned one and the back seat is pretty comfortable. im about 5'10.

I'm 6ft 200lb...I fit in the back seat fine.

I was going to say RX-8 also but it's not a true 4-door.

Mahapse the 4-door Si woudl be the ticket?

The Si sedan gets the same powertrain as the coupe

Hondata + i/h/e + suspension mods and this will be the closest thing to the s2000 in a 4 door variation.

Redline, power delivery, and parent company. You name it.

I would think the Si 4door will have better back seat space than the rx8.

Also you won't be burning oil.

K series is strong, the car is expected to have a good long term reliability outlook.
