Would you consider an S2000 a "practical" car??
As stated above what do you guys think about an S2000
Is it a practical daily driver? I got an itch to get one of these, just an itch for now, but the more I think of it the more non-practical it is for me at least living in NY!
Cons:
-Summer is only a few months out of the year, not long enough to keep the top down that often.
-Winter in NY........SNOW (I have a 91 Integra as a beater)(so problem potiential solved)
-2 seater roadster
Pro:
-Awsome styling
-4 banger w/balls
-2 seater
-drop top (for a few months, maybe)
-fun to drive
-reliabilty
I am sure everyone once had an itch for another car besides there while you stil have it, mine is the S2000! I might be able to test drive the car this weekend, and then I will decide, I hope

I considered one, but it wasn't "practical" for me. I needed a back seat. A larger trunk. The winter issues didn't scare me off. I see people driving Vettes in the winter. Anything is possible with some snow tires. :o
In the end, it came down to size. Just too small. Wife liked it. But she wanted something a bit bigger. So we settled on the G.

I too considered the S2000 before I got my Z. I liked the car a lot, but it wasn't very practical. The Z isn't great in that department either, but it was slightly better with more interior room and more storage space.
The biggest turnoff for me with the S2000 was that it was a convertible. I know they are cool to drive, but living in CT, I'd probably have to drive around with the top up 80% of the time. I'd rather have a Coupe.
It's a cool car though.

Practical for the warmer months, yes. All year round, no. If you're willing to drive a beater during the winter months, I'd say get it. You can still enjoy the S2000 during the spring, summer, & fall.

If you're over 6 ft or over 200 LB's...not too comfy.
I wasn't too impressed on my extended test ride...fun for a short time, but winding that thing out in every gear was a pain in the arse...

its absolutely not practical. its a 2 seater (strike one) its a convertable (strike 2) its got barely any trunk space or any other storage space (strike three, youre OUT!!!)
the S2000 is a great fun car, a second car. anyone who uses an S2000 as a daily driver and ONLY car, especially in a northern climate, is an idiot. its not made for that at all.

That is exactly what I thought, as much as I would like to get one, it isn't a practical vehicle for my situation, damn it!! especially in NY, oh well I still will keep the CL-S, the more overall practical car for me!
Thanks for the info guys!
