CL 6 Speed or S2000??

I have narrowed it down to theese two cars. I am 6"5 so headroom is important. However, I found the S2000's headroom to be better than expected. I have driven both cars and love them both. I love the way the S2K looks, but I also love having Torque. I don't want to have to shift to 7000 rpm's all the time to get some power. However, spinning an engine to 9K sounds awesome. I would appreciate any unbiased opinions. Thanks!

S2000 if you dont need an everyday driver, cause the s2000 doesnt have much space. My favorite thing about the s2000 are the awesome headlights. Anyone know if and where I could get those?

when my sister got her CR-V they had a S2000 on the showroom floor I'm 6 ft 4(i sat on the passenger side) my legs were rubbing the glove box so if there was the littlest accident my knees and legs would have been boogered up pretty good.
my dad works for Honda so occassionally he'll bring home the plant's cars(he's once got the NSX(which was 1 time in like 10 years(VERY VERY VERY rarely gets the NSX) anyhow most of the time he'll bring home the run of the mill Accords or Civics but once he brought home(this is just after the CL changed for the 01 model year a 01 CL-S(so it was the automatic) That car was so much fun and comfortable. Grant it it didn't turn as many heads as the NSX but it was fun. Plus if you go far any where with that S2000 you'll probably be uncomfortable as tall as you are(much over an hour drive) with the CL you can hop in put her on cruise and drive till your there and be comfortable

glove box in an s2k ...i get what your saying though...
although the s2k has no tourque, you have to admit it DOES pick up!!!...convertible is a great feeling you can never experience in a CL...it falls down to what you would rather have, a luxory car, or a sports car...i personally am going to sell my CL, or trade in for a S2K (maybe 350Z) at the end of this winter...I figure I'm young now, and may not be able to own a sports car when I get older, down the line i might turn to something LIKE the CL-s...

I've got both an S2000 and '03 CL-S w\Navi. To make a long story short I love the S get your adreline going and get you pumped up wanting to race everytime you drive. Just the other day my girlfriend and I were going to dinner and we were in the S, well the gas light came on so we turned around and jumped in the CL-S as soon as we got out of the subdivison but I felt myself unwind as the heated seats warmed up and I just felt so relaxed and happy to in the CL-S. So I think if your going to have this car you fixing to buy for a long time go with the Acura but if your planning on short term go with the S because I don't think its a car you can drive at all times or even if you have another car to drive other than the S. My 2cents!!!

6-5 and you are looking at a s2k? I am 6-2 (and that is stretching it) and I am uncomfortable in an s2k. Something doesn't add up! Are you 6-5 on your tip toes and your arms stretched out over your head?

What do you mean something dosen't add up? Why would I lie about my height? I am not a big guy, just tall. I thought the s2000 was pretty roomy for a roadster. I had problems with visibilty, but I just loved the car. I think I am leaning towards the CL. I love the power of the CL. I wish it was a tad more stylish though.
