Daily driver for 2 years now - 25k miles. Seats are quite comfortable and I agree with the above comment that this car has as much or more leg and headroom as many coupes and sedans. I'm 6'3". My wife and I have taken many road trips including a 4000 mile drive from Dallas to San Fran and back - no problems. I drive with the top down most of the time. Road noise can sometimes get on your nerves, but then put up the top. And if that's too much you can buy an after-market liner for the convertiable top that is a permanent install that looks and operates like OEM. It drops the sound level about 3db, which is noticeable. It works along with the roof, meaning you don;t have to do anything or mess with it when you put the top up and down.

I agree with this board - it's a great daily driver and makes the usual trips around town something to look forward to.

Daily driver...nothing but. 28,300 in 13 months. Love it, no problems in traffic. The ONLY problem is finding a good parking space!

I live in San Diego and drive an S2000 as my daily driver. Its about 22 miles to and from work...I don't mind driving it at all. Though I am putting some crazy mileage on the car. As soon as I sell my Ford Ranger (2000 XLT if anyone is interested) I'm probably going to go and guy a beater...or a WRX if I can afford it (I doubt it though)

oh btw...I ordered mine online and had it delivered from Ohio to California. Shipping was around 500. I had to get a smog check and pay the DMV taxes (CA tax)...other than that, everything went well.
