Say you have around 7k to buy a nice 2 seater car. What would you buy?
I'm not sure which to choose, I like the VX220 and the Honda S2000 but not sure.
Any suggestions?
cheers

Stripped back focused drivers car VX220
Or a "nice" more refined car S2k
Think I would take the VX myself
Didnt think they were that cheap though

i thought the vx220 a bit shitty inside, may have been a bad example i was in mind, the s2000 feels a lot more livable

no, you right. The interior in the vx is basic.
oh and the mx5 is not very nice looking IMO.

I dont like the concept that you are apart of the vehicle(if that makes sense).

s2000 is more of a normal car than a vx220 is

Yeah some are crap, ones with leather door cards and mats are alright but stuff still rattles and squeaks. I found the S2000 quite oversteery and I dont get the vtec thing but thats just me.
Have you driven either of them Reedy? (VX or S2k)
You might love the vx after a drive and be happy to go with a cat write off repaired one or high mileage, both cars are very subjective from my experiences.
