The convertible things never really bothered me. Sure i've driven it 2 nights with it down now but i'm sure the novelty will wear off. I just wanted a Honda that i could thrash and take on track. Dc5 ticked all the boxes but have you seen the price of them?! and the RWD is an itch i've wanted to scratch...
M3 was dearer to insure for me and obvs cost more to run and play with.

I know i can work on my own honda though and the worst case scenarios with the majority or it, BMW's would have been a whole new bag to me, and for the same price of the s2k would have been an older, higher milage tattier version.

Don't think it'll be as lairy as the civic in terms of wheels and styling. Nice new modern looking car. Be similar bits like i did to the Skoda with more focus on handling and performance. Need to get on track!

Just wait till the servicing and new brake discs etc come along lol. It'll be a tad more expensive than a Honda then.
