Don't listen to these guys who have zero real world experience or zero driving skills. They have no idea what it's like driving an S2000 in serious winter conditions. They're making assumptions and talking out their ass. An S2000, at stock height, with dedicated winter tires can negotiate unplowed roads with 12"+ of snow. Stop armchair driving and giving out B.S.

I can't quite tell if you are being completely sarcastic and saying we are wrong for saying the S can get around, or just being blunt as hell with your statement.

If it is the latter than I agree.

The latter. It's like doofs who think the S2000 is dangerous in the rain and won't drive it. It's not that they won't. It's that they don't know how.

Ahaha. Agreed.

I live in the country and the roads out towards my house are some of the last that get plowed, so I very well could be the first car through and with how low I am I am essentially plowing the road with the s2k.

Lots of people think RWD cars bad in snow/rain. It's just the way it is and that is why most people prefer FWD or AWD. Majority of drivers lack basic skills when it comes to driving. Rain/snow in your area? then slow the effen down and watch other drivers around you. If you know your limits then any car can be driven to any weather conditions. Of course TIRES are important and so is COMMON SENSE!!

I live in kansas and weve got alot of snow this year. I just put some snow tires on the back and i got around just about perfectly in 2 to 5 inches of snow. I was going up hills that fwd cars couldnt get up. You just have to be cautious and easy on the gas and all will be well !
