Thumbs up Which do you like more?

I was wondering and the question may have been asked before, but if you had to choose out of these 2 reasons why you love your S which would come out top?


Sorry no "both" option

I don't get to drive her much so looks is a winner for me;



Although she always brings a smile to my face when I do drive her, that van does not handle the same

When I first got the car I would have said the performance, but now that I've gotten used to the acceleration and handling I'm going to have to opt for the looks.

I still think it's the better looking than any other sub 30k roadster on the market today

The two go hand in hand for me but I've gone for the Looks, nothing better than owning a car that looks as good as it performs, S2's always turn heads

Sat in one in 2000 - Didn't like it..

bought one 9 years later when i finally thrashed one.

Raw, sideways, heart stopping fun, in a daily driver!

has to be lowered with bigger wheels before it looks like it drives

I don’t think I would ever buy a car based purely on its looks.
However there’s a lot I wouldn’t buy based in their looks.

As above, I wouldn't buy purely on looks, there needs to be soemthng to back them up... but then if I was after pure performance I would have kept my last car
