S2000 CR and IS-F

Pep · 05-12-2008, 04:15 PM

So over the weekend my buddy and I were kinda bored at work. He's going to be getting the new GT-R around June and asked me to see if there was anything else to consider, so I told him the s2k and we went to the local Honda Dealer. They had a brand new white one and all I can say was the test drive was a blast. The new interior is pretty sweet on it and the suspension is great for stock. I loved driving it, but he wanted something with more power in the straights.

Today I took an IS-F for a spin and all I can say after is what a difference. The car as a whole has a much better set up than the IS350 does and the front seats are much more driver oriented. The car was a blast too, but the CR felt a lot better going through the corners. One the straights though, that V8 just wanted to move like no other. The only problem I saw with the CR is that the dealer wanted 45k for the car. That's crazy if you ask me. Anyone else had a chance to drive a CR yet or know if the dealers near them are marking up the price 7500+?

Up in Valencia, CA at Power Honda... I really wanted to know if all dealers are like this with the CR.

The quote form the Honda web site.

Manual Transmission ($36,3001)

Manual Transmission with AC and Audio ($37,3001)

I suggest checking with Kolbe in Reseda. It pays to shop around.
