So how much of a burden is it using an S2000 as a "daily driver"?

Re: So how much of a burden is it using an S2000 as a "daily driver"?
I don't really consider it "dailying" since I drive it probably two or three times a week. But I've put about 10k miles on mine since owning it (just hit 50k whoop) and it isn't terrible. Trunk space was a given, I don't drive anyone around except for my gf, and it's pretty easy to drive. The only things I can't handle doing EVERY day since I commute 120+ miles a day to work and school:
1) Gas mileage is shitty compared to my stock HX... 22-24mpg highway compared to 42-45... and it takes premium
2) RWD gets a bit shady in light light snow... sometimes in rain too - but better tires would do a worlds difference I'm sure
3) AP1's burn about 1 qt of oil per 1000 miles... a bit better now since I've switched over to conventional oil... but still, it's annoying.

I daily mine and have no problems with it, obviously not a car for the winters up here in WI, but definitely a fun car to drive everyday granted you dont mind the two seater and cockpittish feel.

Still dailying mine.... Went from a 1hr one way commute to a 15min one way commute though (switched jobs). I'll probably not daily through the winter like I did last year and drive the Tundra more in a few months.
Considering making it into another toy and just driving the tundra full-time.

I daily drive mine but if I have a choice I won't. Especially under the stop and go traffic in WLA.
