Traded A STI for Honda S2000 = DUMB ***!

Well I was at work today, when a Blue STI with Gold rims pulled into my dealership with no plates. There seemed to be such a commotion around this car. I went to find out what the big deal was about this STI? To my surprise, we just bought it from Carmichael Honda with 3200 miles on it! Some guy traded it in on a S2000! What was he thinking! or was he? Well I didn't get the scoope on why he did it. I hope he likes his lawnmower. I hope he get's smoked by an STI or Moded WRX, Then he will wish he had his Subaru

OUT!

An STI for a S2K? What is this guy thinking? I guess he couldn't handle that much power. Oh well. To each is own.

the import babes seem to like the slow, underpowered front wheel drive cars better than real sports cars. i think they feel more comfortable knowing they will be driving slow.

oh plus you know the s2000 is soooo much more comfortable than an Sti. who needs leg room when you've got no storage space?

An S2000 is RWD.

Who knows why this person traded in his STI, a lot of people make assumptions on why he might have traded in his car, maybe his wife told him " I don't like this car, why don't you go get one of those Honda S2 something convertibles, those look nice" And he thought to himself, Hmmmmm.........Keep the STI, get no tang from wife.................get an S2000 convertible............get more tang from wife! A lot of people don't buy cars strictly because of performance numbers.

exactly. the STi is a very capable car, but numbers aren't everything. the s2k is a well designed, reliable, and attractive car. it'll also turn the heads of women, not 16 year old HS boys.

Yeah, jeez i love S2Ks

And theres really no comparing them, they are about as different as sports cars get, I could see if he traded in an STI for an SRT-4, but there is just too much different between them to say that he made any less of a choice, I have an STI and would LOVE an S2K
