ok where do i start.... first of all with what euromandelux said about not selling it i have to disagree...i would happily sell my s2 for an ap2 lol actually considering it atm as well XD

anyway being more serious, i cant speak so much for the type r but my previous car to the s2 had plenty room bout the same size an an r, you could collapse seats do whatever, honestly the feeling of an s2 versus a 4 seater to me is just great, you feel more like your one with the car, the rear wheel's are right behind you and you have a fantastic 4 banger engine sitting in front its tight, its quick, and being so light it just feels so lively.

Here's a litte story to put it into perspective from my exp. When i had my previous car which was fwd it had good handling, i would race down to maccas with my mates all the time after exams (all of them having commonwhores) with 2 long straights and 1 large bending corner my little peugeot always got me my 3 cheeburgers first cause i could take the corner at far greater speeds, it was mad, all there boasting about who has the most power didnt mean shit at that point. not long later i sold my pug for an s2, about the 2nd day of owning it i went to that same corner and have to admit i couldnt carry the same speeds through as i did with my peugeot. 6 months later after getting more use to the car all i can say is for god sake why are my seats leather, i cant stay in my seat, you pretty much grip the steering wheel for dear life lol. i guess what im trying to say is, the sheer experience you get makes you forget about not having 4 seats.
And as far as reclining the seats goes, if your going with mates on a long trip just sit in there car, with yours in front, your car will be the view and once again you wont worry about not having 4 seats.
