I drive mine all winter, but I've got a hard top. No way I'd drive it with the soft top in cold weather...

If I had it to do over again, I'd buy a newer one with traction control. If Honda's system is as good as BMW's system was in 1998, it's darn nice to have in the slick stuff.

 

whats wrong with driving it with the soft top in the winter?

 

I live in Oklahoma. we don't have that many "snow days", but when we do it is bad because they don't know what a snow plow is around here. In the snow, the S 2000 does better than my other cars (Mercedes sedan and roadster, Ford truck.) All I have are Falkin 451 tires on it, but traction is pretty good.

I would not, however, buy an S 2000 or any other soft top convertible unless I could garage it while not in use. The weather (hot and cold) will cause the top to wear out too quickly to make upkeep on the car unafordable.

 

good snow tires + good skills = dd in winter too

make the switch if you're confident you can handle it, if you're hesitate, stay with the Si...

two different type of vehicles

if you can afford a beater, make the switch right away
