An Accord, or any Honda for that matter, will be far more reliable and less expensive to maintain than any Audi ever made.

Very true
i used to work for a local Porsche/Audi dealer years ago and can tell you that parts are generally expensive. For example, a laser-cut keyless remote/key assembly was about $200 and change for an A4, and this is going back 5 or so years ago

Two things.... if you want to put a grin in your face everytime you hit redline its a no brainer..... go S2000! if you just want to be 50/50 then accord.

I have both, Accord Coupe (not the V6 though) and s2k. Big big difference in handling, braking, steering, feel. Power... well small car with 240 is much quicker than big car with same hp. S2k seats are race like, comparing to the Accord. Convertible rocks! in California. I use my accord as daily driver and s2k for fun driving .. get the picture?

Practicality = Accord
Fun as HELL! = S2000

If I had to sell one right now.. Id sell the accord

Speed and reliability? Either car is noticeably faster than the Audi (stock) and much more reliable. The accord is nearly as fast as the s2000, but they are two totally different cars. The s2000 is not a good choice for an everyday car because it is difficult to drive in the rain much less the snow. Plus you will probably need to spend money for tires every ~10,000 miles and that gets old quickly.

Is this even a question?

Do you need a 4 door? Get the A4.
Do you not need a 4 door? Get the S2000.

I think that's a fair answer.

Hey guys. I was thinking about either getting a Mack truck or a motor scooter. I am so confused.

Get the Mack truck! It's much more practical.

I'd say, if you need four doors, get TWO S2000s.

However, if you want reliability, economy, and to really attract attention, get one of these. It may not be the fastest, but it has won the race to classic-dom.
