Default What factors would render your s2000 as a good DD?

Just wondering, when people refer it as being a Daily Driver what do they usually mean?
Is it in reference to reliability/sound levels?
What other factors come into play?
Thanks in advance!

I like it as it is for daily driving. I still sit in the office looking forward to driving it home. If it was less raw, I don't know if I could say the same.

I don't daily drive mine, but I wouldn't mind. It's a fun car to drive and I truly do believe it's the best (brand new) sports car that less than $50K can buy.

i dd my car. i love driving it anywhere. i make excuses just to go drive it. i love the way it sounds i love the way it feels. i used to drive trucks and light suv, but i will never go back unless i have to. i used to drive an automatic, but with every shift i make everyday and every time give me another reason to love my S. sure it awkward to get in and out compared to my other cars but i will always love the way the seats hugs you in every corner. i smile every time i sit inside of her, i smile when i think about her. the S is like an asian slut. she is asian, she is small, she is tight to get into, she is light and nimble. and it is aways fun get in her and throw her around. and she can be very raw sometimes.

I DD mine on a 20-25 mile one way commute. It's loud, rough, and doesn't have back seats. The blind spots are significant, but liberal application of the throttle before lane changes can help.

The only thing that actually bugs me is that there always seems to be a few more rattles I can't ever seem to chase down. I try to just put the top down, as that fixes everything. Maybe a nice loud exhaust would drown them out.

What kind of 'risks' are you talking about ??

The s2k has great safety ratings.

4-5 stars on all crash tests.

I liked the car for a DD since I only have the S and a bike. but Ima pick up a truck to daily, i like the extra room. the small cabin space is wearing thin on me
