Dont listen to stlkhr.
The s2000 is a very very nice car to drive - specially with the top down. My bro has one, I have driven it a few times. Comparing it with my r33 - it handles way better, is lighter and I reckon more fun to drive. However, what I found was that my r33 had more torque and a smoother engine (2.5 6 turbo vs 2.0 4 NA) - and my 33 has mods, where as my bros s2k is stock.
I cant comment on the 34 though, as I havent driven it. But form my experience, driving hte s2000 after work a couple of months ago (top down and all) - was the best man...so relaxing!
Also, check if you can insure that on your p's - I know that I wasnt allowed to take my bros s2000 around much until i turned 25 (something about insurance too).
