Hi lads,

Today marks a little passed 2.5 years of ownership. I've loved the car to bits, mechanically the car has been perfect, it turns heads and i love its sleek lines and its overall appearance. However, the car is not the most comfortable car to drive on long journeys. I have driven it to both Queensland and Melbourne from Sydney and it was okay. I guess i started feeling uncomfortable ever since i've changed the exhaust. Though i've identified the cause, this has prompted me to start thinking about different cars.

I've encountered many scenarios where the car proved to be impractical and this has also given weight to changing rides. Some cars i've had in mind were the 8MR, STI's (both much too common), or a liberty GT. I get a feeling that i'm compromising too much of what i love for some practicality and comfort and i will eventually regret the change. I'd just like some opinions on the subject, and the aforementioned car alternatives.

Cheers,

You will regret the change. If you really need the comfort of a different car, without the regret, you need a 2nd car.

I have a second car as a daily driver. The S2000 was never designed to be a general purpose or a practical car.

Agreed have a daily Jeep as well. Best of both worlds.

My bags for work don't fit in my s2000's boot. A daily is a must.

Like most of us on here, I believe you'll regret the change later down the track so I agree with the others in saying you should get a 2nd car as a daily drive. You'll find that you will appreciate the S more this way

Besides, a good condition s2k is hard to come by these days

Also if you do keep the S and decide to get something a lil more practical/luxurious, maybe an Accord Euro luxury edition?

i've bought my second s2000 after going down the same path as you. no car made me as happy. so i've now got a daily car and my s2000 for when i feel like driving it..

Patrol as a daily here, the S rides better/more comfy, no kidding. The great thing is I keep "re-discovering" the thrill of the S, I never get bored of it. Go a separate daily.

Extra seats are overrated.

I owned 2 seaters for my first 4 cars. Never was an issue, I always made the most of the space.
We regretted selling our car the first time and jumped at the chance to buy it back. Like Decazo pointed out, quality s2k's are becoming harder to come by.

Haha, seems like the general consensus here is to keep the S!

I'll need to ponder over it for the coming weeks. Above all, i've always had a thing for the E46 M3's.

We'll see how things pan out. Cheers for the opinions.
