And it is all your fault Oppo. All you posted the S2000 on my WWYBW post earlier today and then I just could’t stop looking at the S2000. Why is it so amazing?

I had an AP1 for about a year. I loved it to death, but it has it’s issues. Weather sealing isn’t fantastic, using 91 is annoying when gas prices are high. The rear suspension is a tad twitchy at the limit. I would have kept mine forever if It didn’t get hit.

I am surprised the weather sealing was bad. I figured with Honda quality it would be good. Also a little twitchy at the limit just adds to the fun factor!

It’s unpredictably twitchy is the issue. I spun in places I shouldn’t have because of sudden oversteer. Most AP1's have seen water in the trunk.

No misery here but my ap2 is at the shop for an alignment

Really? I was unaware of the water issue. And I knew the car was twitchy but not that twitchy

Why the AP2 over an AP1?

Preferred the look (lame, I know). I plan on getting an ap1 flywheel though.

So have I! My local Honda dealer has a sweet AP2 for $12k and it's super clean... Might have to stop by tomorrow.

Snap oversteer. I would totally buy one, but maybe do some suspension work

Can confirm trunk water leaks. The oversteer twitchiness thing is a debate among AP1 owners. The S is the only balanced or RWD car I’ve had any appreciable seat time in, but I have always found it like a cat dancing on its claws when you push beyond casual street driving. If you’re aware of the car’s tendencies and steer from the rear of the car, I don’t find it a problem. That said, I don’t get too close to the limits on the road, and I haven’t gotten to autocross or track yet. May 8 baby!!

Check out the Everyday Driver GT86/RX-8/S2000 comparo, and the savagegeese S2000 video, on YouTube. Those were most influential for me seriously going after the S2000.

Yes, Yes, Let the Vtec flow through you!

AP2, but with the full 9,000 rpm redline, because UKDM LYFEEE!

The UK car still got a 9k redline with the AP2? Unfair!
