What's the best car between these 2?
I always loved and wanted an S2000 although i never had a go in one but it just looks right :) especially with a mugen or spoon hardtop :cool:
But there is on other one i might consider and that's the GT86. Newer, more options, not so tight when your >6ft, more forgiving and according to some a bit easier to drive. BUT less power and no topless.

What would you choose and why?

Polls are borked. Sorry.

Depends what you want and you've outlined the main differences already. I'm 6"2" and a bit and can't fit in a S2k. I can't get in with the roof on - if the roof is down my eye line in the fixing for the roof. Joy.

If I could fit, I'd go for a late S2k (one on the run out Edition 100) with a hard top to match.

think you need to be a midget to fit an S2000, I'd go gt86 as i think it has a huge amount of potential and as prices drop they will become the one to have.

6'4" seems to be the limit of the GT86 - my hair was touching the rooflining :lol:

And it feels slow in original/standard form.

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
