i dont know its up to u, but **** if it was me i go for the Type S since ur putting a turbo soon after buying it and go faster than an s2000 but thats just me. If u like looks i dont know about an s2000 with a body kit. I dont really like the s2000 body style, dont get me wrong they're fast.

ohh yea, what happens if u pick up 2 chics, u cant put them in the s2000 unless one goes in the trunk.

GO with the brand new Type S.

It's a great car, plus it's fast, and best of all is IT'S NEW!

The s2k is fast, more money, less trunk room, no back seats, and it's used.

im probably going to get help with the insurance from the parents right now i pay nothing for the civic but i will actualy pay car payements for a new car +60-100 a month for insurance.

so that will free up like 300-400 a month for them.

I do not like used cars at all, I would never buy a used car if possible.
Go with brand new RSX-S (2005) and drive it for stock for awhile and Turbo it later.

For $28k Im pretty sure you'll be able to buy a new s2k, but the insurance is freakin high.
