Been driving an S2000 daily for 1 year now and it's been awesome! I've had the top down almost all year long unless it was raining hard enough to get soaked or hot enough to bake me in 5 minutes. I don't have to carpool people to lunch unless it's just 2 of us going. I upgraded the speakers for better music with top-down driving too. It's been a perfect daily driver.

The only problem I've had is when I've needed to transport anything that couldn't fit in the trunk or the passenger seat like taking my 46" LCD TV to the repair shop a couple days ago; I swapped cars with my dad so I could transport it. It put a smile on his face for the day though.

Been daily driving mine for 3 an half years and loving everyday of it. I can't wait to drive it in the morning and always looking forward to the drive home.... but then again I only work 4 miles from home. That explain why I only got 13,892 miles on mine odometer.

Been DDing the S2k for a little over month now and honestly I love it. It's not our only vehicle so there is the option to drive our sedan but driving the S every day is no problem.

Thanks for the reviews guys,

These car are obviously so much fun to drive!

How is it like sitting in traffic in one of those? someone told me that the low stance of the car makes it annoying in traffic and you can't see around SUVs, anyone know about this and being a tight car somehow inside, anyone knows about this?

This. For me, everything about the car is exceptional and I love every minute I'm in it. Traffic only sucks because it's traffic; there is nothing notably worse about wading through a congested freeway in an S2k than in a Civic.

I'm 6'1 and I've always thought the interiors were spacious enough. The AP2 insides are a bit roomier than those in the AP1s, though.

The only complaint I have is the MY01 clutch buzz. Been driving my car as a DD for 2 years now. I usually love it, but the allure of driving my buddies new 335xi TT is growing on me.

But I do love the S2K.

And btw I'm 6'3.
