I sold my first S2000 last March. I always wanted a C5 Corvette. I bought the Corvette and sold the S a week later. I missed the S2000 the moment it drove away from my house. I thought about it every day. I drove my Corvette around thinking about my S2000 on a daily basis. I tried to like my Corvette, I really did. There were things I did really like about it and I used it as my daily driver for almost a year, but overall I missed my little Honda.

I sold the Corvette in January and got another S2000. The funny thing is as much as I sat in my Corvette day dreaming about my S2000, I've never really given the Corvette another thought.

I really don't forsee myself getting rid of the S2000. If I want brute force I have a 390 horse 1968 AMC in my garage. So the S works well for me.

I've only had my S for a year and a half. I hope I never have to sell it!

I'm thinking about selling mine. My last car was a g35 sedan. Even with the so called Sport Package it was just too soft and watered down so I went the other direction and bought the S. Now I feel I may have gone too far regarding comfort/amenity vs. handling/driver involvement. I simply do not get to use the S for its intended purpose often enough. I still think the g37 coupe would fit my needs. I hope I don

I shuffled around so many different cars as a daily drivers, and fun weekend cars, but none of them gave me the enjoyment of the S2K.

I swore I'd never sell my 01 S2K when I bought it brand new, but I noticed engine problems after 5 years of ownership, so I got scared, and traded it in for an 06 three years ago. I was sad and enjoyed the memories of being one of the first owners when car was rare, and couldn't live without one. No regrets and I love my 06 even more.

Long time S2K owner. Forever S2K owner.

Actually, forever Honda owner, as I'm enjoying my 99 Civic as my daily beater. Car feels unbreakable, and can go 300k miles.

LOVE HONDA!~~~

Built up an '02 into a monster. Went back to school, parted out and sold it. Drove Accord. Got bored. Bought '05 S2k. Happy again

Many people who have sold their S ended up buying another one. There just isn't another car like it!

I had a leased 02 back in early college; loved the crap out of it, got into a semi-serious accident. Lucky for me it was a lease
Returned it and downgraded to an Acura CL. Drove that for around a year, got tired of slow acceleration and bad handling.

Bought a used 00 from a nearby user and love having the S back. I've improved my driving since the early days & know the car much better now.

Hopefully Ill stay away from further accidents, though living in LA that's going to be a miracle.

I had to sell it to get a car with back seats. I've missed it ever since. I just moved to DC and once I get settled, I'm going to get another S.

I had my S for 10months. It was too hardcore for me driving around LA. Sold it and bought a clk55. The clk55 is perfect for dd but im planning on getting an AP1 later on. Gotta miss the tight gear box
