Mine's a daily driver, rain or shine.

...but then I don't have to deal with snow at all here in Atlanta.

I'd strongly suggest a hardtop if you're hoping to stay warm in really bad weather. You can always take it off and store it the rest of the time.

 

You don't need sandbags in the trunk. The car goes just fine in the snow with just a good set of winter tires. As far as needing a hardtop, I use a soft top in Ottawa winters. The heater warms the car up to toasty temperatures with no problem at all, and the rear defogger keeps the glass rear window nice and clear. Save your money for other things.

i heard that the ap1 is a little bit more cramped interior-wise than the ap2...i'm 6 feet tall and pretty lean, you think i'd have issues in the long-run? one of my friends said his dad sold his s2000 because it was giving him back problems.

 

amen to the 5 seasons of ohio.

i haven't gone through winter with my S yet, but i plan on doing so. any idea how the MY00-01 plastic fairs in the winter?

 

I drove mine with worn out UHSummer Tires last winter (by accident, I was caught in it)... When I went outside, everything was covered in white!

Anyway, I had to get home, and all I did to maintain control was keep the steering wheel as straight as possible, and brake way before any turns.

All seasons would save you $, and would be my fair suggestion (if you can find any with 245/45/16 sizes ;p )

 

A civic will save you $$$.

Put all-seasons on the S2000 and you might as well be driving one.

Summer tires for summer, Winter tires for Winter.

Cheaper than a deductible and insurance hikes.
