Z06, i happen to be a girl. but that's still a selling point

personally, i'm all about working on the car, and with the saved money from the WRX i think i could make it a real street monster, where as the S2000 would be a slower process.

If i got the S2000 i'd still want to take it all the way, i was even looking into turbo or supercharging it within the first month or so. That will most likely void my warranty anyway.

It's such a hard choice

Drive them both, but do it on a warm sunny day and put the top down on the S. WRXs are sweet cars but there is no way in hell I would trade my S2000 for one. Now if I could only come up with another 20k I could have both....

 

If looks count and you want a sports car, go for the S2000. The WRX is plain and ugly for every angle. Especially that frog face front.

 

I'm not a huge WRX fan (simply because of the 'wagon' look, etc..) BUT..someone did make the comment that they don't handle as well.

I hate to tell you this, but the Auto-X I went to this weekend, the WRX's were doing just as well (if not better) times than the S2K. So, don't underestimate the potential of the car.

the s2k is just so beautiful though

 

WRX is a good, even great, car, but IMO it isn't nearly as fun as the S2K. I drove one back to back with my S2K and was disappointed with:

1. The acceleration - yes, it can leap off the line, but underway its slower than the S2K - noticeably so.

2. Steering response - S2K isn't the best in the world, but the WRX isn't as good.

3. Turn in/grip - sure, tires play a role, but it isn't as good in the WRX.

4. Balance - understeer - S2K doesn't really know what that is.

5. Suspension - great for rally, but too soft with too much pitch/roll compared to the S2K

And of course its ugly and not a convertible...

That said, it is far more practical with greater mod potential than the S2K. And its cheaper. It'll never be a convertible, but an S2K will never be a 4dr AWD car either :-). Depends on what you need.

Well, there are two ways of looking at it:

a) If you're looking at the ultimate funmobile that will make you pee your pants with joy everytime you drive (make sure you have seat protectant ) then get the S2000... I've just been a passenger in one but GODDAMN Stooks make you feel good. Buuuuut...

b) if you're more practicality minded plus are looking for a great bang-for-your-buck performance, the WRX is a superb car. It can also go farther and longer than the S2000, but that really isn't a point of contention.

Basically... I'd say test drive both, and go with the one that speaks to you the most... for me, it was March 15th 2000 when I fell in love with the S2000... I saw one at a car show and just nearly sh!t my pants it spoke to me so much

I have a WRX as a daily driver and an S2000 for "those days". If I was 19 and could only have one, it would be the S2K. You can always have that new TV delivered.
