I agree with Eddie about the S2000 not being a "good" daily driver. Worry about potholes, people slashing your top, wind noise with the top up, limited space for baggage or groceries, somewhat twitchy handling if you stop paying attention during the commute, etc. It can certainly be done if you are willing to deal with the limitations, but in your price range there are plenty of "fun" cars that would make much better commuters. RSX-S, WRX, & MS3, to name the ones that are tossed out most often.
