s2000 in the snow
i guess it all depends...ive been in way too many snow storms where ive had trouble controlling an AWD SUV and have gotten a maxima stuck in snow several times...couldnt imagine what it would be like with a car that sits so low to the ground...im sure its great fun to take out to vacant parking lots and having some fun but now on the road in the middle of winter where i grew up...

BTW, plenty of hills around here considering we're almost in the Rocky Mountains. Perhaps you should stick to topics you know something about.

spent 21 years of my life living in the third snowiest city in the US...never did you see s2000's driving around bcs people thought they were great winter cars...the ONLY compact sports cars you see are AWD cars bcs they are controllable in the snow...try starting your rwd s2000 on a steep hill in the middle of winter...see if you make it up it...cars rust from salt...you cannot tell me that they dont...
Buh-bye!
Guys, thanks for coming to my defense, but just ignore this one. His whole 22 years of existence is just too much for us to contradict. Let him think what he wants. Just don't let it fool those who truly are seeking the truth.
i dont know what the personal attacks were about...all i did was offer my opinion...people dont post topics in here to only get one sided opinions...just because you and a couple of your post buddies feel comfortable driving an s200 in the snow does not mean that every one in here does or would...

You will find little in the way of dedicated support for your views as this car is now almost 6 years in the marketplace and a LOT of owners drive it all winter. Unless you have spent time in the snow belt with an S2000 that is properly equiped, sure, state your opinion as "perception" not as "fact".
haha maybe i cant drive...who knows...well i appologize for my opinions...and butting heads...maybe its just from growing up on the other side of the lake from canada and getting all the lake effect from the arctic breeze
...can you drive it in the snow??? sure but still dont think it should be done unless it has to be done...safety first IMHO..and maybe i just tend to baby my cars too much...and nice sig woodson lol...

Really, it's fun in the snow and it doesn't hurt it. We don't get the same amount of snow as Buffalo, but we still get a lot at times. In 4 winters there have been 2 days that I couldn't drive it.
