S2000 / MS3 Comparison

[Notorious]

I'll freely admit the s2000 is tough daily driver. But with a 3 mile commute I'll live. The MSP is far more comfortable though.

Sounds like you want a NSX.

I just wish the S2000 was a hardtop, or came as one. I can't stand convertibles, but that's just me.. Also I wish it was rear-engine.

If the S2000 were that, a hardtop with RR platform I'd get one and live with the insurance costs and impracticality..

I'm tired of Honda's high-revving engines. I leased an RSX Type-S after 3 years of owning a WRX, and after the initial fun of winding it up to 8 grand wore off I just never even bothered going fast anymore...too much work. The thing had zero torque and felt slow, even though it was decently quick when driven hard. The MS3's power is so usable every day by comparison.

I agree... i'm a Honda convert who got sick of revving my Civic up past 5k every time i needed to get anywhere fast. The torque in the MS3 is amazing... in almost any gear, almost any rpm. Granted, i came from a little 1.6L Civic engine, but still... it feels like it pulls harder than any other (mildly) built Honda i've ever ridden in.
