I drove to Panama City, Florida last year from Bmore for spring break, was about 16 hours, probably like 900 miles, in one day, and my friends would all bitch cuz their busted family cars would go 450 miles on gas when i would have to stop every 250, ride down sucked cuz it was like 15 degrees, but a week later on the ride back the top was down the entire time cuz it was like 75degrees ........ good times

I've only been on a 2 hour trip but mine is the most comfortable car that I've sat in. I'm 6'1".

I think the key is to sit all the way in the seat as far as you can. Then, it becomes very comfortable. I slouched my butt forward some when I first got it and it was uncomfortable quickly with an aching back. Now, I push myself all the way into the seats and love it.

Longest in the S2k was Seattle - Denver in 19 hours drive time.

Did San Fran to Denver in the turbo straight through -- last 400 miles in the snow.

Denver - Phoenix straight through in 2 stops back when I had the cobra.

Ft. Benning, GA to Pasco, WA. 2700 miles. Would have been a little shorter, but I knew I'd never forgive myself if I didn't drive the dragon on the way back. Stopped only twice just to sleep for a few hours. My god, Omaha to Salt Lake City has got to be the most boring drive in the world, especially after driving the dragon.

(picked a perfect day too, not a soul driving either direction that day

The longest trip that I have taken in the S hasn't been very far at all. I went from NY to southern Jersey to go to Six Flags a few times, which is only a 3 hour drive. I'm trying to keep the mileage low

My longest trip is probably 120 miles round trip.

I have 4 vehicles, so the S2000 doesn't get any out of state trips.

Not as long as many, but mine was about 1200 miles over a four day trip during SacS2KDays last year. This years will be longer due to the drive down to Sac to begin the festivities.

never really thought about it till now, this isnt really much of a road trip car since you gotta gas it up soo much.
