I'm currently on my third S2, and i'm not letting this one go. First one was a mistake letting go, second one was a financial issue, and this time i am not letting go ever lol.
As everyone mentioned, change it around slowly & weekend driving for me as well. Car never gets boring, always a blast to drive and puts a smile on my face.

Absolutely this. In fact I don't think I would start to necessarily get bored of my S2000 if I had to DD it, but rather I'd start to hate it!

The only thing I get tired of (and maybe that falls into the "bored" bucket) is the low torque launch of my S...
I am not asking for a rocket, mind you...but I think the car would be a little more exciting if it had a tad bit more oomph in the normal day-to-day launch from stoplights, etc...

I know the s2000 is a pretty special car, but even it can sometimes get boring. Have any of you all felt this way after a couple years of ownership? This is my second s2000 and I've probably put about 3 years of seat time between the two cars. I have urges to purchase a new car, perhaps something domestic, coupe, or 4 doored machine; however, I do not want to start making car payments again.
Have anyone felt this way? If so, how did you get past it?

I've had my AP1 since May 2014 and agree it's not a DD for me. Have a 2006 Element for that. They are so different to drive and the E is my "station wagon" when that is needed. Had to use the S2k as a DD for 2 weeks when the E was in for repairs recently and it did get boring. Also missed having an automatic for those days stuck in summer traffic. Plus the E has a pretty nice stereo that rocks out compared to the S2K. It's like a room on wheels. Got the S2K with 17k and now have 24.6k. Appreciate it more for good weekend driving and think why bother racking up miles if the driving is slow commuter traffic. Would rather roll up the windows in the E and crank the tunes. Having said that the S2k is my favorite of all the cars I've ever owned.
