At least you have good taste in cars. Honestly i'd be willing to switch freely in between the 370, g37, e46, s2000. I've only drivin the S but i do like the others from a comparison and review standpoint. Dont like the c6 much though. My 6'2 friend just went on a ride with me in my S and i feel like i needed the top down lol.

My only real complaint. We have suspension that adjusts for camber, caster and toe. But I can't adjust my steering wheel.

Also i nvr move with drinks in my cupholder, i either make my gf hold hers or we throw them away, i cant shift properly unless they are like cans or very short. I drove over 200 miles bringing my car home when i bought it and it didnt really bother me.

Thanks for all the reply's, since I live in MO it might be a good idea to keep my Integra to have a winter/snow car so that I don't put the s2 into a ditch.

Im 6'3" 215 I've been daily-ing mine for almost 3 years now.
My comute is about an hour and a half (thats on the days I only go to work, on days I have college and work its a little over a 2 hour commute).
Im pretty comfortable and happy with it as far as comfort is considered
I still dont have the lowered seat rails, but still procrastinating getting some the only thing that still bugs me is trying to see the stoplight in small intersections.

On a side note I sat in a friends CR recently and those seats don't seem to go back as far. There was no way I could've driven his car competitively much less daily

Also once on a group drive "topdown" (before I got my hardtop) I actually managed to get hit in the forehead by a rock that got kicked up from a car infront of me

As far as winter I drive mine year round our house is on a Mt. and this is my first year on winter tires (blizzaks ) and I feel this car is very manageable so long as you dont drive it like an @$$clown

Good luck with your decision

Only 5'10" and 175lbs here but as far as a DD I have ZERO complaints. I've owned mine since this past November, and the car was very manageable in inclement weather.

No hiccups so far in general, just usual maintenance. You may not get as many miles out of the tires as a "normal" DD, but if you're like me and you prefer a little performance out of your daily driver, then you probably won't mind it much.

LOVE the car for DD. 15k miles since November and still going smooth.

I'm ~6' but most of my height are in my legs so the s fits me fine.

HOWEVER- the S is a noisy car!!! that's the only aspect I hate about DD'ing it.
