Just got mine a month ago, will be my daily driver. Once winter gets close, I'll consider buying the hardtop, or an older car for snow days. but other than that, my baby is going to get a lot of use this summer.

It's my only car so it has to be my daily driver. I wouldn't drive another car even if I had it (unless I needed to take more passengers). Must agree with Slaughterj though, blind spot is a factor with the top up. Being in Hawaii though, I rarely have the top up.

I used my S2000 for about 8 months (also over winter) as my only car, until i could afford the second one - which is now my shopping/commuter/bad weather car. The only problem with the S2000 is lack of luggage space, the asymetric trunk is quite impossible to use for larger objects. Apart from that, and my constant cringing when thinking about all the salt on the winter roads, I did not have a single problem with it as daily driver.

I agree with SeattleSilver, I have a legend and love/loved it, now it's hard to get back in it. I also can't keep my wife in her Prelude anymore.
P.S. also makes my wife horn!y when she drives it so I LIKE IT when she gets back

11 months/18,000 miles - 110 miles/day commute round-trip into Boston over the worst roads in modern civilization (potholes make the big dig look small 
, 50 miles of it usually stop-n-go the other 60 are pure heaven and help make up for lost time. No ice or snow though. I either work at home, borrow the wife's volvo XC or get a ride to the commuter rail station.
Still have original S02's although Connor from TireRack has a new pair on the way for me. Next winter I'm getting snows.
Only thing done besides regular maint. is the replacement clutch disc (vibration/noise service bulletin TSB-054) and a new windshield on Fri (hit by road debris).
Storage space has never been a problem for anything from day-to-day driving or errands.
Hope that helps...

I have the Prelude for rainy day use. I'll probably not drive the S2000 too much to work in the summertime either; it would have to sit out in the blistering Florida sun all day long, I can't bear the thought of that!!! It's better left home in a nice cool and dark garage. BTW, before buying the S2000, I regarded the prelude as one of the best handling cars that I've owned/driven and while I still feel that it's an impressive handler, it seems kinda big and soft compared to the S2000.
