Have heard very good things about them.
Did see one having an engine change after 2500miles once though!
But i think the driver/owner was more of an owner, if you see what i mean?

i've had a evo for about 2 years and i'm selling it becasue i'm buying a house and need to cut down my outgoings. I'm thinking
a s2000 will be really good to own and theyre cheap ish now. JUst wondered if they were expensive to maintain.

Just found this;
"Warranty is for three years or 90,000 miles, and service intervals are every 9,000."
Could be a bit pricey to service?
But good if things go wrong under warranty i guess.
Also read somewhere that the engine often need attention.
Cracking cars though. Would have one myself, if i could afford it!

honda
All hondas last 4 ages! I don't think honda make a bad engine! and if the rest of the car breaks the engine/box will go in a seven very well!

I had one for 12 months, never missed a beat, servicing was average, mind you it only had 1 service during my ownership.
Driving postition not perfect but I am 6ft 4'', only other criticism would be the digital rev counter, slow and a bit of a gimmick.

S2000 is as near to bullet proof as you will get on a motor of that performance/litre
It is a well proven motor from the Type R range
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!

The Civic TypeR and the S2000 engine are not one and the same thing, the S2000 engine is an F Series engine
(F20C), the Civic engine is a (not the) K Series
(K20A)

If you drive your evo properly then you'll be seeing 12-14 to the gallon, servicing as you know isn't the cheapest. The s2000 is quick by
hot hatch standards but nothing compared to an evo. The early s2000s had very unpredictable handling, this was resolved at the facelift. Something to
watch out for!
We did look at an s2000 but it was so damn twitchy it wasn't fun to drive, that was a pre facelift though.
