How are the s2000s on daily driving and reliability. I know its a honda so the engine is strong but i hear a lot of complaints about gears grinding, ac leaking, and the rear window fogging up and limited visibility. Seems like it might be a hassle. What do you guys think

 

i think you should do some research

 

i drive mine everyday..

 

No problems with me. It's my daily.

He is doing research, that's why he is on here. You guys are *********.

My S drives really good and I bought it used. I drive it about 2000 miles a month and it has been really reliable.

 

i drive mine daily. I wouldnt have it any other way

 

Gear grinds are from abuse/misuse.

A/C system holds up pretty well. It leaks when you try to bend it out of the way to install parts, or in worse cases, an accident.

Use the defroster on the rear window fog, unless you have a 2000 or 01 model, then use a rag. Microfiber preferably.

My car suffers from none of that.

 

same here only problem i encounter is some severe bald tires lol

 

i drive mine everyday. no problems. except when i let the dealership drive it.

 

its a Honda...no need to worry about reliability.

Plenty of people daily drive this car, its all about personal preference. Go test drive one and see how you like it.

 

i cant test drive any right now but i just want to get an idea if it would even be one i would consider. sounds awesome frmo what i hear. I like the small go kart like cars lol. ideally i want an rx7 but i hear they are too much of a hassle when things go wrong and that things go wrong often ;( how is the interior of the s2000. I know its small but is it comfortable? lol

You can't say that and expect people to buy your car.

ha..humor..humor

&lt;--daily driver also

no problem yet, notchy shifter when cold and that's about it

 

I drive it daily. 38 miles to work and 38 back. I have an AP2. Seats feel great on these mountain roads .

 

what is an ap1 and ap2?

 

First generation: AP1, MY2000-2003. Second gen AP2s are 04+.

i thought i drove mine a lot

 

any major differences that would be relevent in daily driving it? I know about the glass window in the back is on the second generation. Dunno what else. The body stlyles look pretty much the same

 

For daily driving, I feel like I don't have to rev up my AP2 as much as I would an AP1. I can putput around town, get 29mpg, and make reasonably good time staying under 4k rpms.

There are a few changes, with the 2.2L, headlights, taillights, bumpers and wheels being the most obvious ones.

 

j00 forgot gear ratio

 

MOST OBVIOUS. I've met people that couldn't feel the gear difference. They think its all motor.

Then again, I met a guy that asked me how much I paid for that Porsche.
