I've been driving my new '03 S2000 now for about 3 weeks solid since I purchased it, leaving my Honda CR-V parked. The S2K is the most fun you can have on 4 wheels, IMO!
When I finally did drive my CR-V again yesterday, I noticed a distinct lack of power, a certain sluggishness, a definite lack of forward motivation. The CR-V had a recent tune-up, so I'm ruling out anything actually being wrong with it. But the sensation of intertia, rather than momentum, was inescapable.
Anyone else out there feel like most other non-sports cars feel like their brakes are applied while driving, compared to the S2K?
My fiance refuses to let me drive her Accord with her and the kids on board anymore since I have the constant urge to see just how well it will handle and how fast I can get it going.
From one trip with the family in the Accord with me driving, this was the result:
Tell me about it. I drove cross country in a Penske moving truck. When I finally got to drive my car again it felt insanely fast. With my car being a daily driver I sometimes take it for granted. You don't know what you got till it's gone!
My other auto is a Jeep Wrangler, the steering wheel feels like one of those big things on a ship after driving the S. I also keep waiting for the vtec sound from the Jeep, redline is like 5200 on it. It is very weird, I've never had much problem transitioning from car to car but then the S ain't just another car.
Hahaha, thats some classic pics. I'm going to have to see if I can get my wife in that position when driving her 4 cyl. vtec 02 accord.
If I have a camra handy, all the better.
when I switch back to my civic...my steering wheel seems unusually large...like, wtf, why is the steering wheel so big...makes me feel like a grandma. also, i'm like...why isn't their any steering respone? I have to move the steering wheel so much just to get a response on the civic.
Worst of all is...UNDERSTEER UNDERSTEER UNDERSTEER. I HATE Front Wheel Drive!!!
Also, ALL cars should be Rear wheel drive, or at least All Wheel drive.
My car was in an accident a few weeks ago (I was stopped and read ended). The rental place gave me a auto lancer... Its depressing to drive that thing. A peice of me dies everytime I turn it on! I cant wait for my car to be done!
Now here is the question that I pose to you all. Having so much fun in the S, and knowing what its like not to drive one for a while what will be your next car? Would it give you as much joy as the S?...
