I've been on jury duty all week. I decided early on to not park my baby downtown unprotected. My wife and I swapped cars; she drove the S (safe, secure parking) and I drove her Acura CL.
The Acura is a comfortable, but relatively boring car. When the trial ended today I sped to Dallas to retrieve my own car. After driving the CL for four days, the S at first felt somewhat like a truck; however, after only a few minutes everything became familiar and comfortable again. Road-feel is your friend!

Daily driver for 2 months now, loving every minute of it. The trunk size hasn't been a problem at all, though I've been tempted to put two girls in the passenger seat a couple times...
I've found the S2k has a lot more leg and headroom than 4-seat sports cars; people are always shocked I fit (6'3"), but it's the roomiest car I've ever owned -- the left seat at least. I feel like a sardine in the right seat, so I just don't spend much time there

I fit pretty nicely into my daily driver at 6'1". While there are of course some comfort trade-offs (my last car was an Audi A4) the opportunity to drive the S2000, even in LA traffic, more than makes up for it.
Think of it this way... if you drive the S2000 to work in the morning, you barely need coffee!

What about road noise? I think this would be an important issue for daily driving. I have a 95 Saturn SL1, and the pre-96 Saturns were famous for cabin noise. With the soft top, would you say the S2000 has an unacceptable level of noise at highway speed? This is something I've been really curious about.
