I personally enjoy having a back seat and trunk (hatch). S2000s sure are sweet to look at and fun to drive, but not sure I would wanna deal with that for my daily driver. Especially in colder conditions, and with that plastic rear window. Is it possible to keep both? That would be the ideal situation.

What are your preferrences? By just stating the car and the options for your brother all you're going to get here is everyone's opinion why THEY would make the choice if they were in your situation. We don't know what's practical for you so how can we give you any advice that would be good for you?

I personally would steer away from the S2K, but then again i live in Jersey, where it snows and our roads are terrible....you on the other hand are in Cali... hot weather and good highways.
To branch off what iNck said get the S2K, assuming that you're getting a good deal. If it is a good deal don't let it slip away, it'll be easier to get a tC if you decide to come back because they're more available I think.

And you should get an insurance quotes... you want to get an idea of how much the insurance companies are going to be raping you.

I'd say go for the s2K. If you don't like it being convertible you can get the hardtop shell. Plus, Greddy just came out w/ a CARB-legal turbo for it too. You're young, you don't need the extra room (yet).
