Re: Honda S2000 VS. Lotus Exige
i have no leg space and i have to duck to see streetlights. the car is fun maybe 1 day a week but anymore than that tears up my back.

If you gotta ask, the Lotus is not for you. Affordability aside, it's high maintenance in both dollars and attention. It's a car best suited for hardcore, experienced enthusiasts willing to live with the shortcomings for the rare moments of high performance driving, usually on a track or autox. As much as I can admire its plusses, the S is much more satisfying for me as a street car.

Duck to see street lights? I'm 5'11 and I was fine even with the stock seats/rails. I sit straight up too, so it's not because of any gangster leaning.
I also lift heavy **** all day and my back is fine...even with recaros...and KWV3s.
The S2000 is a fine daily driver. I just prefer not to drive mine through the snow.
Why is the S2000 such a bad daily driver? Compared to what? It's a normal enough car. It has power everything and AC. It has comfortable seats. It's not exactly a race car or a meat box.

Re: Honda S2000 VS. Lotus Exige
I never understood this whole too tall for a s2000 thing? I'm 6'2 175lbs and I've got more than enough room for my legs, arms, head clearance, etc. Once in a while if I'm sitting at the front waiting for a light I might have to dip to see the light (if the intersection is poorly designed). But I'd glady take that than go back to my sentra...

Re: Honda S2000 VS. Lotus Exige
Why do people fight about the truth about Daily Driving the S2k? I mean it's really preference...of course it could be a DD for some and not for others. But like stated above, it does have power options n a/c so why say it's not a capable DD. But if your needs require more then you might need a second car. I have an explorer as my DD, and I look forward to getting in my S, and all I have done so far is an intake...the S2000 is just a sick ride whthef you DD it or use as a 2nd car...
But back to the topic, just keep in mind how much parts and maintenance would be for a Lotus over a Honda...
If your a baller n money ain't a thang then get the Lotus. But me personally would take an S2000 because I love it!!!
Also check out the Mcoupe by BMW... Those are the Z4's on steroids...

NSX ftw. that's what i bought
but really if you don't have a DD get an s2k, it will do double duty.
have fun and get a s2000cr, a nice all around car that already comes with the much needed hardtop imho
get an NSX
