^^^^^* Lol... I dint mean it like that... What I ment was it wasn't as much fun as I expected it to be... I mean I'm no expert on the track, I'm mainly on intermediate usually (b-c group).. That goes same for the del sol.. The del sol I had before did have alot more suspension work done so it handled like a charm.. It was slow on the straights compared to the "s" but it did hang with them on the turns..... At one point, I had a buddy driving my del sol push a s2 owner to the point where we ended up spinning into the tire wall on a turn from trying to pass. The del sol, ran off, not the s2 (the s2 wouldn't allow a pass )

Let me apologize if my previous comment or comparasion insulted some of you guys. Different ppl have different driving styles and I suppose I may be doing something wrong because I did expect results to be better... Maybe I just need to work on suspension / stability more

Different people have different driving styles and set ups so it wouldn't be fair to hold me to my previous comments... Different people have different opinions and expectations, it just so happen that my expectations haven't been met yet..

If you feel like it's time to move on then do it. Like you said, everyone has different likes and that includes what people drive. But it takes not having the thing you had before to realize how much value it had. So if you do part with the S, hopefully you'll miss driving it whenever you see another S enough to get another one.

It's weird feeling... Like when I'm not driving it, I want something different, but when I do drive it, I love it but if I drive it too much, I hate the fact that it's so small ...

Maybe I just need to get a beater for daily use... :/

Just curious, how many of u use the s2 for daily? Comments?

It's all about getting something else as your daily . You definitely appreciate it more. As a matter of fact, you should get yourself a big mom'n wagon! Drive that everyday and you will be in love with it like someone gave you a Ferrari! My vote is that you keep it. The S is a pretty legendary car and it always gets attention, especially if you have put work into it. That's my two cents.

I've sold one and ended up coming back...I'd say keep it however it is that you want it. But if you do have to sell, part it first. I've parted and sold a few cars, and you make a lot more of your money back that way.

My daily is a beat up 95' Tacoma...the S is my fun car, when I had my first one...it was my only car.

LOL I'm in the same situation as you, really hate the fact its so small. But love how it drives, seating position, & everything else etc, I'm on my second s2k. If you really want the 4 door, you could look into something that has the room, updated features while still fun & quick. I think I told you last time at Speedzone that I need something bigger as well, right now I'm looking at TL Type-S's or IS350's, but no doubt in my mind I'll have another s2k in the waaaayy future, this time as a weekend car though & not a daily driver
