S2000 a womens car ?

Hey guys hope you all doing great

Heres my story

We have 4 cars at home, soon to be 5 and 2 of them are hondas.

So my dad is actually looking for a personnal car ( which will kinda be mine not bad at 17 hehe ) but i wonder in the general opinion if the s2000 is considered as a women car. because its either that or the wrx sti . He doesnt know which one for sure and is waiting for me to illuminate him lol

i would preferably prefer the STI but since were good customers at that garage , we would get a heck of a deal. thx in advance

I don't remember the statistic, but something like 85% of S2000 drivers are male. It is a highly masculine convertible.

I love mine and all but I wouldn't refer to it as a masculine car. I think the size of it leads people to see it as kind of feminine, but once they drive it they realize what's up. I had an '04 Mustang GT convertible prior to the S and it was nice to do doughnuts in, but it was loose as shit and not quite as fast as the S.

Some older guy asked me the other day if it was a Miata...my dick just ascended into my abdomen and then I blurted out "It's faster than a Boxter..."

Like I needed to justify shit to this guy - lol

I'm such a homo.

The S2000 is a connoisseur car

So if your concern is about the S2000 being a car woman prefer, you are safe statistics in the US say 83% of the drivers are man. However, this car is not a toy; it is a car for connoisseurs.

Sorry, I don?t want to be a patz, but this car is about as close as you can get to the engine characteristics of a Formula 1 car. The only thing close is a Lotus Elise or you have to tune yourself. The handling of a S2000 is superior and if you check European sports car magazines they compare the car with the way more expensive Boxter and other pure bread sports cars. To put a little story in I had two friends considering a boxter and a SLK and I had them drive a S2000, both bought that car.

However, what concerns me with 17 driving this requires a lot of discipline. The S2000 is known to fishtail, is pretty rough and it just wants to be driven fast.

Ciao, Franz

I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!!
After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.

panic over people!!!

i have put some serious thinking into this one and have got it all figured out! oh yeh!

basically if your good looking then yes you should get one, if your ugly then you probably buy something with a roof.

Simple but genius
