Default wrx to s2000

How many of you guys have gone from a wrx to a s2000 and feel it is worth it everytime you step in your car? I'm currently having thoughts of getting rid of the s2000. how many also drive it daily? I guess thats what I'm most afraid of. The wrx is awesome all year round. I don't need the extra space it has at all so lack of space isn't really a concern of mine. I'm just wondering how many of you guys had owned a wrx before getting an s2000 or how many of you had an s2000 and switched over to a wrx/sti. If so what are you feelings about it. I know if I get an s2000 it'll never be as fast as my wrx but I'm ok with that cause I know I can make it handle better and thats where I have the most fun.

I've had RSX-S, WRX, R32, and currently, my S.
I gotta tell you, WRX was the worst.

I went from a 2003 WRX to my 2006 S2000. I have absolutely NO regrets and love every second I've spent with my S!!

However, I also loved my Subaru and plan on getting another one in the future, when my S is paid off!!

Hey Dan, why was the WRX your worst car out of the bunch?

I previously had an Evo witch is similar in platform. I loved the power of the Evo, but I think the handling and fun factor go to the S hands down. I think the S is a sexier car as well.

I kept most of those cars fairly stock.
And I guess I'm pretty anal about build quality.
While I was very happy with other cars, WRX was quite disappointing.
For me, at least.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm still up in the air about what to do. My wrx is an 04 and I've invested plenty of time and money into it. I know the s2000 won't be nearly as fast but I feel like in the handling department it would be a blast. I'm not too worried about going back to the stock turbo but I have put the 6spd sti tranny in my wrx and that will be the biggest pain to swap back out. It just sucks that I know I couldn't sell my wrx with that still in it and get what its really worth out of it.
Do all of you guys daily drive yours? that is another thing about it. The s2000 would be my daily driver.
I could see how a bone stock wrx was a disappointment but it only takes like $500 to gain 20+whp on a wrx and it makes a huge difference in how the car feels. Also just a set of springs helps a ton too.

Mine is a DD, but every other week I switch off with my girl's truck since we carpool.

You can do pretty much everything with it, except lug around more than 1 extra person. The trunk is decent for the type of car too.

Had an 02 RSX-S, 04 STi, and now an 07 S2000. Yes, I still miss the STi, then again I'm still breaking in the S2000. They're two completely different cars.

I DD my car as well. I find it fine for a DD. I don't have a really long traffic filled commute though.
