I walk away like most other people and get myself a Honda S2000 or a Porsche Boxster or something! Because then everytime I look at an Elise I'll always tell myself I wish I had one of those!!

I never walked away from an Elise and got my s2000, tbh, that's the first time I've ever heard anyone say that.

All things considered I'd prefer getting into the Honda every day.

I never found access into and out of the Elise great............neither will any bird you manage to get into it either. Honda for me and I do have a soft spot for the Elise

I can't wait until your create a thread about the list of issues

Hows that Puma going?

The Puma feels a bit down on power lately. The engine occasionally coughs between 1000-2000 revs. Bit it keeps soldiering on...

Its a bit of a pain overtaking anything in it though. When you pull into the faster lane, put your foot down, it lacks that instant reassuring acceleration to pull away from the slower car... Hence why I'ld love something with a few more horses under the bonnet!

Well, they're both brilliant cars and cars I desire to own a lot. The S2000 has that amazing vtec engine which revs and revs until its valves are about to pop out while at the same time its very practical car too with a big boot and nice interior. The Elise is a lot more spartan. No carpets, not much of an interior, manual roof which doesn't look like it'll do any decent job insulating you during winter, tiny boot etc. Its gonna be a much more difficult car to live with every day compared to the S2000.

Not till its arthritic valves keep pumping the fuel through its cylinders!!

Its only got 82000 miles on the clock so the engine really is not that old...

That still doesn't back up your original post though,I've met countless s2000 owners and not one has ever mentioned an Elise.I've never even considered an Elise tbh.

You've been reading too many Elise forums if you ask me, cause obviously the s2000 has an octavian boot,the interior is plenty full of gadgets and the roof is the best softtop ever made by any company in the world.

You should do some more research.

You got me wrong. I don't mean one buys a s2000 cuz obe finds an elise too impractical. Its just you've gotta be very committed towards buying an elise because its such an impractical car with so few luxuries. A Homda S2000 would be a much better choice as its a fun car that you can live with everyday.

But the elise is a childhood hero of mine and i've always wanted one and very soon i'll be able to afford a used one hence why i've been wanting it even more now! But i just dont wanna be dissapointed when i get to drive it because it not being very comfortable to drive and its impracticality. But if i dont buy an elise i'll always regret not buying on. Though if i do buy it, at many times i would wish i'ld had bought something more comfortable with more luxuries...

B

I think you have no idea what you're talking about, since when would someone pick a s2000 over an elise for practicality reasons?

Is an S2000 practical?

NO

Does an s2000 have any luxuries?

It has a radio and aircon.

Your posts are misguided and if i was you I'd be quite embarassed.

af_thefragile · 03-02-2012 10:33am

Compared to an elise an S2000 is a much more practical car. Also more reliable...

Nope

Don't agree. The softtop of the Volvo C70 up to '05. Double insulated, electric/automatic softtop and you bleedin forget, it's a convertible you sit in. I've seen the S2k softtops, including your own, and the Volvo one beats it hands down.

It's not the same type of car as a S2k though.

Some accents manifest themselves very quickly with some people.

And with others, like me, it's just a mash of loads of stuff. Been placed/guestimated by people in a lot of places, but only once in the right place.

Based only on your accent, I'd say somewhere around the Aabenraa County area?
