Happens all the time. Going from the S2, to my Evo is a change, but the same principals apply; Fun and tight (that's what she said), But I daily a 98 Camry, that feels like it's going to tip over when I forget how fast it can't take turns. And when I drive the wife's Altima Coupe (6 speed) the quietness of the car, DBW and soft clutch make me drive like a noob.

Now I haven't owned my S2 that long, but I love going from my S to my 4runner - it's such a difference and it lets me appreciate the S that much more when I get back in it. Disclaimer: my S is not a DD.

I either drive my s or drive a flat bed tow truck. It's always so weird after I work all day and drive home. From high up in the air to low.

As much as I love driving my S around, it is a nice change to pace to drive my DD (1994 Accord), not having to shift or feel every little bump in the road =). However like others have said, going back to the S makes it that much better each and every time.

I'll have to agree here. The S2000 completely desensitizes you in that regard. My daily is a turbo Forester, which for an SUV isn't that sloppy. But after driving the S for a few days, the Forester feels like it's going to tip right over at the slightest bend in the road.

When I drive the spousemobile RSX-S, there's a round mirror-adjustment switch right where the S2000's start button is; press it all I want, the car won't start. That's before I get let-downs like WWD and the top not going down.

Well, my SI sedan feels like a buick compared to the S2k - I sit up higher, feels spacious and such. The S has more vibrations, creaks and such. Both engines rev up just about the same. I cannot stay away from a 2.0L 6 speed honda motor that revs to 8k or more to save my life, it seems.

My 2003 Civic Si (EP3) feels like a diesel after driving the S2k. The K20A3 revs way slower, with more torque down low. In the EP3 I am letting the clutch out at idle with no problems. I put my foot to the floor and it seems like it takes forever to get to redline. Its not a bad car, just nothing like the S.
