Basically, I can afford one car, and I'm curious as to just how well the S2K works as a daily driver and in the winter (with appropriate snow tires fitted, of course...)

Its my daily driver and there are not enough hours in the day to get my daily fulfillment from it.

I do, and in Montreal to boot! Luckily for me, we had a mild winter by our standards. I can't see myself driving a piece of junk in the winter time, especially with the price I paid for this car, I want to enjoy it as much as possible.

I do and love every minute of it! Whenever I drive something else, I always want to be back in my S2K.

S2k is not the best daily driver car, but I sure do drive my S almost every day (except on rainy days)

You have a great car why not drive it everyday?

Billk -

If you are anywhere near snow, I would not recommend the s2k as a daily driver. It's a great car but it was not designed to handle well in the snow - and believe me, it doesn't.
