One of 50 special editions in Europe, so very rare don’t really help values though. Mrs loves it and at 15k a real bargain of a car. :)

Decent price. Ive always liked these.

Im still so happy with my i-pace though. Can't see myself looking for another car for a few more years at least.

Yes, I love the performance, grip, looks and rarity, really cool car.
It suffers the same as most modern high performance cars, a none event at legal speeds, the interior in a car rarely bothers me but it was poor, comfy seats though, poor steering and sound track was a bit meh.

Still it is hard to deny they are incredible value and a relatively safe place to put your 100k, probably stand to take a 20k hit at most even if you add 10-20k miles, so can enjoy it.

If your buying for rarity and Honda reliability with epic performance, it is hard to beat for 100k.
If your buying for driver involvement, fun factor then there are better cars for 100k also, 430 / 458, GT3, GT4, 570/720S all offer a superior driving experience.

I think I'd have one over an F-Type SVR and a regular Huracan put it that way, but once you drive a Ferrari, McLaren it really is hard to consider anything else.

What I will say is for 40k, an R8 V8 Manual delivers a superior driving experience, far more fun at legal speeds, better steering, far better sound track, way more involving (manual), far superior interior and the R8 is a still a cool supercar that is backed by Audi reliability. Having driven many R8's now, my favourite is still the slowest, the V8 manual, it is simply the best one of them all to drive on a British B road that delivers incredible fun and feedback at sane speeds.

R8 is something I’d love to try in the future, I don’t think theyll drop in value anymore. Problem for me, most colours are so boring! That purple you have is really nice but it must rare as I can’t find anything exciting on market.

Anyway, s2000 got abused on track again, this time in France, circuit de clastres for 3 days. Car performed well, massive lap time drop since last year : 1.27.8 last year 1:23.78 this year. AO52 Yokohama tires are absolutely epic.

Some pictures.






 
I looked at an R8 V8 manual as a convertible but the lack of storage for me made it a no go, as it’ll be a cruiser for me to different countries :(

Absolute poster car - I still remember unlocking it in NFS carbon when it was still not available to buy, and feeling so cool that you could drive it in a game before it was available to buy.

Which shade of red is the one you're looking for? :p

The one from the drivers door, back. :p

Or if you deem the drivers door to be a slightly different colour, then lets say the rear door, back. :p

Hey, words can hurt yknow! :eek:

I've grown quite fond of how it looks when shined up. :D

But yeah it will be getting sprayed at some point. Wheels refurbed, all that.

Sorry, I wasn't intending it to come across like that - it's a cool car and it'd just be good to see it all the same colour :p

Its okay, my response was largely tongue in cheek :p

Yes, agreed! Hoping it will be a different colour too... But that depends on how much extra I am quoted for that.
