I would have bought it in either configuration. Just like The Reverend, I prefer coupes over convertibles...but I think I am slowly being converted

By definition a sports car has to be either open or a convertible...so the answer is no.

Two Words for you:

Viper Coupe


Two more words:

Acura NSX

well, one word and some letters I guess

Anyway, I didn't like the thought of the convertible either. My previous two cars were a 99 Prelude and a 92 Prelude and I wanted to stick with the hardtop. I was actually hoping to save up and get an NSX, because I didn't want the S2000 because it didn't come in a hardtop. When I went into the dealer and saw the s2k I changed my mind and took a chance with the convertible, don't regret it a bit. I love the freedom of having the top down. I put it down today on the way home from work, I think it was 55 degrees out. Oh well, besides visibility is so much better, no blind spots. I can't imagine driving a coupe again.

Hey Low S2000, your from Lancaster I see. I live right over here in Dallastown, just south of York. I work at Harley, right along rt 30. Nice to see somebody close to home.

The convertible top was one of the determining factors in my selection of the S2000.

Well, for me, the S2k was a total impulse buy. I really wasn't planning on buying a new car (was waiting for the new
BMW M3 with SMGII), but I liked the unique-ness of the S2k
(how many S2k's do you see on the road?) and I liked the performance (the engine is music to my ears!). So what did
I do? I went and bought it the day after a friend told me
a new silver/black came into the dealership. Personally,
I wasn't that keen on the soft-top. I've never really been
a convertible person and I've ordered a hardtop already.
Would I buy the S2k if it wasn't a convertible? Given the
same situation I would, although it would be easier if
the cost was dropped, and some extra features were put
in to replace the drop-top weight.

one of the reasons i got the car was because it was a convertible two seater and about the most impractical car you can get. if i wanted practicality i would have gotten a sedan.
