What does it say for an 89 S2 just out of curiosity. I guess it doesn't show mileage in excellence does it? my car has/had 140,000 miles. Thanks

I didn't mean to suggest that the 944 was slow by any means. I guess I should have said that they were pretty close from 0-60 (which btw isn't all that counts obviously) good luck on your search for...

Adrial, the RSX is no porsche by any means but as I said it is the perfect balance of reliability and performance IMO. It's no slouch either. At 7.7 seconds from 0-60 it's still faster than a 944...

Haven't had a chance to rev it that high yet unfortunately. The test drive I went on consisted of around the block sprints. It seemed very refined though. The salesperson revved it to redline in...

Lemon, yeah that was my car..... sigh. The only thing wrong with it was the "high" mileage (227,000km) A lot of work had been done in the year and a half I owned it ($7500 in receipts from...

Al, it broke my heart to sell it. I ended up getting 10000 at a dealer which translates to 11500 because of the tax savings... It's a buyers market out there, you could have the only S2 in the...

yeah I'm positive that they're an exact fit, they're the euro model that are oval shaped as opposed to rectangular. As far as SQ, they're pretty impressive for a 4x6, nice mid to low end punch. I...

Post Traded in the S2 for an RSX, have some stuff for sale

So I finally did it, I finally got rid of the problem ridden beast. I figured that the RSX was a good balance of performance, reliability, and comfort. I know many of you would disagree but it's...

I'm with you on the whole selling thing Lemon. I was actually thinking of doing the exact same thing. Selling the S2 for a nice 95' 325is at one point. Whatever you do decide, make sure it's what...

Ahmet, the 8k was for my S2. I think I had really poor luck though. I had to put in a clutch right away, one of my camshafts went and so on and so forth. I was expecting a certain amount of work...

Yeah I've dreamt of owning one.. not an M5 but an M3. Maybe that would be the best thing to do. I think I rushed into getting my S2 and I don't want to rush into another car

Not sure about the Turbo part, I think they may be sequential though. I don't want a GT car per say. I just want a car that is more reliable than what I've got, and can be made to go fast if their...
