S2000 is quickest 2litre production car made to date, keep it!

I work for toyota and the celica GT's are slow, reliable and pretty nice looking but there just not quick. Plus im only 19 and they let me road test the shit out of them, so even they must know there pony.

Also driven my dads ex GF's CTR and loooovvvvveeeeed it, probs one of my favourite hothatches, big fan of the honda's and big fan of the civic's.

So if your really going to sell the S2000, get the CTR :thumbs:

have u owned a celica to say its not fun? mines std with 17's grips the road like a sports coupe should. still has enough poke to make it a great drive. i love it. and certainly doesn't look gay at all.
Friend had one, went in it a lot when I had my CTR... he sold it quick smart... bought an RX8 (190) and promptly sold that too lol

I'd have the cam switch lift lowered if I was going to consider the 190 lump...

i love my vvti 190. so much comfier than the type r even if it is a tad slower u dont notice it until 120 130 odd then type r starts pullin.

im biased but celica ftw.

All good points, cheers lads!! Still cant decide though, think I prefer the looks of the Celica but the reliability of the Honda!! Might just have to flip a coin :lol:

House market beckons mate, plus getting fed up with only having the 2 seats. Will see how the £££ is once I get the flat sorted. Ideal car would be an M3 Convertible but then I can just dream on :lol:

type-r's are good but still believe they are bigged up to be somat there not i have driven one and well v-tec is no where near as apparent as it was in my m8's 1.6 vti just pants to me.

why not try and integra type-r

i have driven 140bhp celica was ok but would not buy one tbh

Was going to say after the S2000 I'd have though a Celica would be disappointing. Can't think the Civic would be much better either really.

My mates got the celica, not a fan at all tbh. The civic will do everyhting better apart from looking girly.

I've tested both and would deffo take the ctr, was totally underwhelmed by the 190 tbh. Test them both though, everybody has different opinions.

looked at the celica a while back after getting a lift in one into town(driven normally though so couldnt tell you how they go) and decided i liked them

worryingly its the engine and gearbox thats a weakpoint on these cars and more than a few have gone bang with not much milage on.

shame as i like the look of the 190 vvti and the yamaha engine is meant to be great.

i would go for the CTR as it will do everything just as well as the celica but with having more room for rear passangers and being a fraction quicker

Hi Team,

Got the S2000 all ready to sell this week and will be on Autotrader this weekend hopefully. Looking to replace it with one of the above cars, really torn between them both!!

Views, Opinions, Ideas on the 2 would be good!

Cheers!
