its doable if you dont carry around stuff or people. if you live in the snow you need another car.

i live in arizona and have a 95 accord as well - i have taken the accord out maybe 5-10 times in the 6-7 months that i've had the s2k

i'm probably going to sell the accord in the next couple of months since i'm driving the s a lot more than i expected - when i have the two options, i just always want to drive the s around

I drive mine around 60 miles per day, 5 days per week except on the days I ride my bike to work. Does just great, and it fits in almost as many places that my bike does in traffic.

I found it to be a chore to drive daily...im 6'4 and 235ish pounds...and i would never own that car to drive daily. Just my personal experience...noisey, cramped, and built for performance...there are many things that it does not encompass that i find almost neccesary for a daily driver.

im 6' and 170 lbs. and i use the car as a daily driver. its fine once i get in the car. thats not the problem but what im noticing is getting out of the car. since i got my car dropped a couple of inches i noticed that i am having to lean on the seat to get out of the car. you know what, i really dont mind doing that because everytime i get behind the wheel its nothing but pure pleasure. i noticed one thing, i would never settle for less. a couple of years back i had the choice to get a 2004 S2000 but i got a 2004 civic instead and always thought about i should have gotten the S2000 but its all good though i now own a 2001 S2000 the yellow color and its worth every penny and always using it as a daily driver. i get people asking me about it all the time and heads are always turning. its mainly stock and the only thing that was done to it was neuspeed lowering springs. i use it to go to work 5 days a week. if you are in the car for 2 or more hours as a daily communter i would not reccommend it because if you have back problems it would not help you at all. well i hope that helps you decide in what you want to use it as a daily commuter or not. good luck

I have a 93 accord for my DD and the S2000 is my weekend car. I used to DD the S but I racked up 20k miles in jus one year because I commute so much.

My DD, and love it, can't wait to pay it off though. I will be driving my EF this winter. Hopefully we won't get too much snow here in the Northeast this year, if not, I will drive my "S" on nice winter days.
