Default What we might have been driving

Just out of curiousity what other cars did everyone test drive before buying their s2k?

Mine are:

'00 Ford Mustang GT
'01 Audi TT Roadster 180hp(would not be able to afford the 225)
'02 Acura RSX S-Type
'01 Accord Coupe V6

Nothing. I had my eye on the S for almost a year and decided if I could ever get one at MSRP I'd buy it.

I wanted the S2000 from the moment I saw it in a picture from the Auto Show! Actually. . .at first the S2000 was a second car for me! I was driving a '00 Honda Accord Coupe EXVL! Man, I loved that car! I had it on a lease and turned it in just about 3 months ago now!

I always drive my S2000 and I do not plan on buying anything else (as far as a primary car) until later on! When I turned my Accord Coupe in, I was going to lease another one but decided that I hardly drove my last one. . .plus my new job does not require so much traveling!

I'll probably get a '90 or '91 Prelude to drive around on "off" days! I have always like those. . .I used to have an '88 Prelude! So nice then!

I was all set to buy a 2000 Silver/black Viper RT/10 but my fiancee at the time (now my wife) said absolutely no because it was ugly as hell...

Oh well.

My S2000 was a total impulse purchase. Prior to our marriage (we got married on April Fools Day, this year) Suz and I went to Carmax to look for the Z3 she wanted. I couldn't fit without hitting my head so she didn't buy it. In the showroom was my car. I suggested she try it. She said, "I can't afford that." I said, "Well, I can!" and that was that.

i almost got a saab viggen convertible. Did not wanna wait 8 weeks for it so i was on my way back to BMW to get a 330 conv. when i saw a the truck parked on the side of honda dealership with 2 s2000's a red and a silver. I pulled in, sat in the silver. the sales manager let me drive his 2000 s2000 and came back 4 hours later and picked up my silver/black : )

I still wanna test drive a saab viggen, i only got to test drive the regular 9-3 conv.
the day before i went to Saab and Honda, i went to ford and test drove a mustang GT,what a piece of turd compared to the s2k....(just my opinion)

I actually fell in love with the S2000 while helping a friend car shop. Looked at (for him) the Z3 2.3/2.8/M (didn't like styling), TT (slow), Boxster ($$$), and a few other sporty cars. He ended up with an RSX type S, I got the S2000.

For a 2nd car (which I have been thinking about with my S going into storage soon), the list would be: Audi S4, BMW 330xi, RSX Type S, TL/CL Type S, Accord EX V6. The new A4s look really nice and sound to be a pretty good car (best in class?), so I'm thinking the 2003 S4 is going to kick ass, so I'll hold out for that.
