04 S2000 weekday and weekend sunny car

 

Or my girlfriends 2000 GSR...

 

I drive my 03 AP1 through the winter, with Michelin X-Ice tires (staying on the road is a higher priority than cornering ability in the winter). For those who say that this is a great car on icy roads -- it isn't. It will get me from point A to point B, but most front wheel drive econoboxes with all season tires will outperform the S2000 in winter driving. And don't say that it is the driver. Same driver in both the S2000 and the econoboxes, and well-used to winter driving. So, don't believe those who say how fantastic the S2000 is in the snow. But it will get you through the winter driving reasonably safely, if you know how to drive in winter conditions. I live in Ottawa, and for years seemed to be the only S2000 on the road in winter, although about a week ago, I did see a blue AP2 with a hardtop struggling through rush hour traffic.

I have owned FWD, RWD, and AWD with snows and all seasons, I would take a RWD with LSD on snows over any FWD on any tire. IMO FWD is only better 0-10mph in deep snow, otherwise I hate it.

But I drive AWD on all seasons now

 

1990 Chevy Beretta GT, with tints so dark noone can see me inside.....also has mesh wheels :-) picked her up for 800 bones!

 

I disagree. I've driven my S2k in the winter before both on all seasons and Blizzak WS-50s. Then when I started storeing it, I had a FWD '03 Mazda Protege5 wagon with all seaons. I will swear upon this statement: My S2000 accelerated better, braked better, and handled better wearing the WS-50s than my Mazda P5 did wearing all seasons in light and heavy winter conditions.

Unfortunately, my Mazda P5 got killed by Bambi, so my new DD is a '03 Saab 95 Aero Sport-combi turbo. Came with all the bells and whistles, including a winter mode for the engine and trans, and winterization of the underbody. Popped some downsized steel wheels with Blizzak WS-60s on it and it was rock solid through a big winter storm just the other day. . . . sucks more gas than the Mazda though and requires premium gas.

 

03 evo with snow tires. drives great in the snow

 

I sold my Legend coupe, so I drive my S2000 through the winter. I live in Atlanta, so there really isn't too much of a winter of which to speak. The weather is always freakishly and unseasonably warm, so I enjoy comfortable, top down driving every month of the year.
