the seats are shitty for anything that makes you drive longer than 10 minutes. (for reference Im 5'10'' and ~160 lbs). the bolsters dont do shit. the steering wheel isnt adjustable, so where it sits is where it sits, fuck you if you arent a 5'6'' asian man. same issue with the shifter for me, its position is awkward, there is no comfortable way to rest your hand there when cruising.
The powerband is dissapointing. I've pretty extensively driven an ap2, and its flat out boring in a straight line, which we all have to admit will be what the car spends the majority of its time doing. Its gutless until 6k, and by the time you feel the power its time to shift already.
the gas milage is fucking horrible. 18 city is a fucking joke for a 2.2l honda, and its tank is small enough, that youre filling up enough to think about how much you spend on gas, since its premium.
something that I dont ever see mentioned is the size of the windshield. It feels like youre driving a hot wheels. The s2k what built and designed in an era that required thick ass A pillars, and decent rollover protection, unlike something comparable but older, like an NA miata. I never really got over how tiny and dinky the windshield feels, it honestly made me feel less confident in the car because it actually makes you think youre driving some little toy car.
now for the subjective part.
theyre fucking ugly when bone stock. They look good enough when they get lowered and some decent wheels on them, but my god are they ugly cars in stock form.

All of this being said, its your fucking money op. I've had cars that I've dreamt of owning and then bought, that after buying I hated, and Ive had cars that I never thought that I would like, that I bought and absolutely fell head over heels for (Currently building/ restoring a barn find integra, didnt imagine that one in my future 2 years ago.). Go find what actually speaks to you in a car, and then go find the car that fulfills your desires.
