i bought my MY07 for daily driving and occasional spirited driving across town. (like most ppl here)

what are some of the s2k's advantages/pros for daily driving?

it can be unique or not, but here's a few...

1. small car = easy parking
2. roadster = ease of changing lanes
3. best gear shifter = very comfy to drive
4. seats = very comfy
5. 2 seats = don't have to drive friends everywhere

...

 

comfy? you must be shorter than 6' 0" and drive an AP2

 

Im 6'2 and its by no means comfy..LOL....I can barely move my legs

 

6'1 here and I am totally comfy! Must because my mind is more on how much i love my car more than how comfy i am!

 

...yeah, those are some pretty stubby legs you've got in that picture if its you... just kidding...

All I can say is if I ever flipped the car, my head would hit the ground before the roll bar.

If I ever got in on the driver's side, my legs would be trapped under the steering wheel. Hopefully the first person on scene has the jaws of life.

 

5'7'' for this car FTW

 

When I bought the car in 1999, I was 6'3" and about 195 and I thought I had a ton of room, especially compared to a Miata. In the years since, the car has been getting smaller and smaller and I can't say its "comfy" with a straight face.

Either the car has been shrinking because of all the rainy/dry cycles or its the fact I'm now 6'3" 235 of twisted steel and sex appeal.

The one thing I don't remember having problems with then that I struggle with now is when taking tight turns the back of my hands rub against my thighs, so I find myself shifting my grip over the wheel when turning. I'm not close to fat, but I'm definitely getting to linebacker size these days. Its a tight fit for somebody my size no matter how you look at it.

I like your list and agree on everything except the comfy seats. I would add the fact that the best thing about daily driving the S is that life is short, and you are turning what could be a daily grind in a beater into a fun filled adventure. Something you will look back on one day fondly when the car is gone or retired.

 

Wow... so many tall ppl? Fairly comfortable for me as a small roadster.

 

LOL its funny that this was posted today.

Im thinking of buying a S2K and went to the dealership to look at one. Sat in it and was like "ehhh could i really live with this everyday?"

Im still in limbo...

Im 6' 1"ish

 

Haha I'm 5'5" 135 and it fits me fine

But to me the S2000 is a great street car because it is so damn easy to maneuver. When I drive other, bigger cars I get so annoyed in their slow responses that I start yelling at the car, haha. And the S2000 is comfy for me except when I wear bubble jackets.
