A daily doesn't imply that it's an exclusive form of transport(?). I believe the comment was using the s2000 as a daily will make drivers hate the car, but if the users daily tasks are impossible in the s2000 then they wouldn't be driving it in the first place.

 

A daily to me is a car that I can drive on a daily basis without wondering "Is this the best thing to do?"

Also, baring an engine/transmission, if I can't pick up the parts of a car using the actual car, then it's not a daily driver.

 

From somebody with experience, I'm simply saying I don't hate the car as my daily. Quite the opposite in fact.

 

If the S2000 was my only car, I would hate it. Because I can think of at least 5 scenarios off the top of my head where I wouldn't want to drive it.

 

Except for having to watch out for SUVs and their blind spots, I think it's a great car to drive every day. It's nice to have a maneuverable, responsive car. However, driving in daily stop-&-go traffic would be kind of a drag.

 

Idk man. I could pick up a cheap truck or SUV to tow cars around or haul parts and just not drive it every day. I wouldn't even really want to drive a decent truck or SUV every day tbh.

I don't think that your DD has to be utilitarian.

Think about people that daily drive nice sedans but have a beater to haul shit around in.

I DD my S2000(s) during summer. Usually just leave my practical car in storage.

 

I live in the South East US and have daily driven my S2000's for years. I do also have a diesel truck for towing and a sedan for road trips with people.


So 2006 Duramax, 2015 STI, and 2003 S2000. It's not a bad daily, but staggered tires don't follow the road as bad as a squared setup. I do also have a hardtop so that makes things easier

 

lay off the shrooms.

 

Not engine or exhaust per-say but more like highway noise.
- It's a high revving convertible with a short wheel base, you're essentially sitting on the rear diff so... I mean...

My questions are how did you over come this problem?
- I didn't, I accepted those quirks of the car before I purchased it. It's part of the car. That's like people asking how did you get over the weight of a car. It's not a problem if you knew exactly what you're getting into.

Is it possible to use sound isolation material? What’s been your experience?shareit appvn
- The previous owner of mine did sound deadening and added around ~20-30 pounds of material through the car. If I were to compare to a sedan from the same era, it's still louder on the freeway.

P.S. if the S2000 is your ONLY car. You will more likely hate it than to love it due to its limitation as a 2 seater convertible, not because it's a Honda S2000.

My advice is that if the S2000 is going to be your ONLY car, then it's the wrong car for you.
