Default What s2000 to buy

Hi guys. Im new to the website So Hello all

Im in the process of selling my Golf MK4 Anniversary and moving onto a s2000.

Can anyone quickly tell me the main differences between the ap1 and the ap2?

Why i should buy the ap2 over the ap1?? As there is a big difference in price and being young its a bit of a struggle.

No iv quickly read about the ap1 oversteering, iv only ever owned front wheel drive cars but i can drive so im sure it wont take me long to change my driving style. but oversteer is hard to control.

Whats the mpg like?? things to look out for when i view cars??? expensive bits to replace??

All i need is someone in the know to point me in the right direct with tips and views.

Regards

Mobby

welcome to S 2000 world, I personally love the AP2 over the AP1, I think you'll find the same particularly that you are EDM, but really both EDM and ADM, are still AP1 with the upgrades from 04-09, meaning we still red line at 9k.

both are 9k, If you Super charge and change internals I believe you can up the red line, but stock motor you wouldn't..
