Accord V6 6 Speed OR S2000???? Need opinions

Ok, basically as most of you know Im planning on selling my car! I was planning on getting a used s2000 (im from Canada) from the States...but I work @ local honda dealership and Ive been driving the automatic accord v6, and i love it and im starting to consider getting a brand new 2004 accord v6 6 speed (it only comes in blue/black/silver) I would get blue most likely...what do you guys think? USED S2000 or brand new accord v6 6 speed?
Accord is much more of a daily driver and much more comfortable, but im in love with s2000s!
Hard choice...
what u think?
and does anyone know about an accord forum sort of like 7thgencivic.com, but for accords??
thanks, opinions pleassee!!!
Dave

get the s if you want a weekend car, it can't be beat

get the accord if you want a daily driver, it's a nice compromise

Get the s2000 man it's your dream car. When do you think you'll ever have the time/money for it again?

Even if something between you and the s2000 doesn't work out in the long run, at least you won't be wishing that you bought it you know?

At least you won't be thinking "What IF i bought an s2000?"

Accords will always be here.

If I were you, I'd shoot big.

You can always sell it and get an accord.

JCiv03 is on a distinguished road
I say if you have a reliable daily driver already, go for the S2000.
But if you dont, an Accord V6 is a lot more practical. Of course, we all know it has a lot more room, and trunkspace. Also, if you're a family man, go for the Accord. Also, the accord v6 spd is pretty quick as well. I think S2000man went from an S2000 to accord v6 6spd, and he seemed satisified.

yeah shoot big and get the S2000 but keep in mind...

S2000's dont have torque, only power in the high band which is amazing but still....

on templeofvtec.com or whatever, they dynod a v6 accord 6speed on premium gas and got about 216 WHP, compared to the 2004 TL's 226 WHP. thats pretty damn quick, and dont forget about the torque. plus, the new 7th gen accords look AMAZING with a simple drop and decklid spoiler. and they are so comfy!!!

they dont look like they would be fast cars. you would get way more attention driving around in the S. accord is more of a family/sports coupe that can still hold its own pretty well. its not tooo heavy either, only like 3200 lbs as compared to like an IS300 which is like 3400lbs AND underpowered.

i say accord.

oh yeah, its really snug in the S if you are a big guy. you gotta like open the door to scratch your butt or get your phone or somethin from your pocket.

you have more options on color than that for the V6.
i have a white v6 6 speed i am selling right now. i am in upstate NY too.

i don't know about you but i looked at and drove the s2000 and its way too small for me. i'm not even that big - 6ft 180lbs and my head hits the roof. it is nice with the top down though.

well check out my car on ebay - if you like it drop me an email

I would say if you don't have to be carting around kids then definately go for the S2000 -

That car is lightyears beyond sexy -

I wish I had one
