If you went from a s2 to a evo/sti, or the other way around, i just wanna hear from you what car you enjoyed driving more.
just kinda thinkin about doing this, i deffinitly love my s2000, but im just really tempted by having a turbo car with AWD, i like how easy it is to add power to turbo cars. plus the 4 door might be nice since this is my daily. and i live really close to Tahoe so it would be nice to throw my board on top of a sti/evo and cruise to the snow every weekend.
so if you have owned a s2 and a EVO/STi, let me know what one you liked better, and also how was the reliability of the evo/sti

What tipped me over the fence to the STI though would be space.. Coming from a coupe (w/ 5 seats) I was NOT used to the cockpit feeling in the s2k and immediately felt a little claustrophobic, although I would have gotten used to it eventually.
I know that wasn't much info but if you want to know anything else just shoot me a PM. Test drive an EVO/STI and see how you feel!

I came from a 300+ awhp 04' wrx.
I've always loved both cars and each have there advantages and disadvantages.
wrx- very practical however it has cheap interior, easy to mod, makes crazy power, turbo.
s2 - street legal go kart, sexy styling, easier to maintain, nicer interior but smaller obviously.
however, seeing as that I dumped 12k+ into the wrx and my s2000 has about 1k in mods. I more so miss the wrx and wish I had it once again. But, I think my mind will change once I have a hardtop again.

Why EVO vs. STi? You should drive both to see the difference for yourself.
I came from an STi to s2000. Like others have said:
STi:
-Cheap interior, lots of squeakes and rattles
-Good power, less MPG
-AWD good for any weather
-DD friendly
-Expensive to find unmolested (even more so for EVO)
S2k:
-Nicer interior
-Better ride quality
-Less power, More MPG
-Honda Reliability
-Not DD friendly
