I don't get when people say it's going to reduce your resale value. It will reduce resale value of ANY car, so what difference does it make?! Furthermore, if it's a car you're going to keep for a long time or you never plan to sell, it matters even less or not at all.

Fact is, over the 22k I've driven in my 3+ years with the S2k, it has depreciated very little. Most other cars costing that much or more would have depreciated more.

 

I suspect there is a significant age factor as to how people feel about this question. When I was in my twenties, I would have loved to daily an S2000.

But now that I am in my 50s, there is no way. It's strictly a weekend fun car. As a daily, give me the smooth, quiet comfort of my Acura over my S2000 any time.

 

The S2000 can absolutely be a daily driver for the right person. For someone with no kids and the right climate, there are few better.

I never had any issues fitting groceries and it has enough space for luggage for 2 for a weekend trip. For moving large items (furniture, etc), that stuff usually wouldn't fit in a sedan anyways and that's what rentals are for. The best part- you're never get that moment where you go "man I wish I was driving my other car"

 

Not necessarily. I am in my 50's, and 3 season dd, 80 mile commute. Couldnt be happier. Top down unless its below 30F or raining hard.

^He does have a point here.

DD'ing the S2k without any backup vehicle is very different from having the ability to conveniently interchange vehicles when the situation arises. I don't think I would've been able to solely dd the s2k alone, especially here in the NE area. My S2k was my primary vehicle for about 7yrs; this of course with my parents vehicles on-call if ever needed, (which thankfully was rare). I purchased an FJ Cruiser about 2yrs ago which has allowed me to scale back seat time in the S2k now.

 

if you dont need to drive more than 2 people or someone that's has hard time get into a low car and no need for much cargo space then you will be fine.

it was my dd for almost 8 years. hope your significant others or someone in your family does have a bigger car because sometimes u will need that space to either dirve people or haul things around.

 

I daily my S without a problem. Although sometimes I do wish to have a truck for hauling and other useful purposes. I've been sailing my S for 3 years now. I'm 24, no kids, just enough room for you and your partner. Not too bad in my opinion.

 

Nope. I live in Ohio, my car has only been in southern states and has zero rust. It had its first north winter last year and it stayed in the garage. I only put 5K on in the year and 2 months Ive had it. Underside is immaculate, cleaner than my Evo X by far.

I dont want to see it become a rust bucket, plus people in general suck. Nobody has respect, and you will see your nice car become battered with dings dents, ect.

However, I may get rid of it soon in favor of something more expendable, like a TSX or RSX, so I can daily that.

 

It's not only possible or reasonable, its awesome - if your circumstances work with the car. I'm in Texas, in my late 20s, single no kids, and have a garage. 90% of my driving is commuting, so I like to say I have twice as many seats as I need.

I have a 10 mile commute that's half city driving, half twisties. The other 10% is weekend road trips with my girlfriend and/or other car buddies. I bought it at 90k miles and have put another 20k on it, and judging from prices in my area it has depreciated very little.

I ended up buying a second vehicle - '01 Ford Ranger - that I thought would become my commuter, but I just enjoy driving the S too much.

 

I'll put it this way: For two years I had both the S2k and a 2001 BMW M5 (aka one of the best possible DD cars ever). 80-90% of my commutes, I'd drive the S2k. It was just more fun, nimble, and involving (not to mention efficient).
