I’ve been driving my S2 now for about 3 years as a DD. Yes, it’s great on gas, comfort and handling! But, it’s 18 years old and as a DD it needs repairs and maybe an upgrade now again (like the AC); and I mean more than the average because it’s a performance car before it’s a DD. It starts out innocently enough; a clutch here, steering rack there, new tires, new brakes, new cat, new muffler, etc. These are not exactly low priority items on a DD that as a weekend car you can let go until you have the money. They need to be fixed NOW! So, being it’s a daily driver I tend not to have the time to fix it when things need fixing, so, just figure sending the monthly college tuition money to your mechanic.
For $5000 I would go find a nice Acura GSR and save up for a newer Porsche DD. Just my 2c.
That said, I do love driving the S2 and I get a lot of compliments and more than a few parking lot conversations, but it’s come at cost that I could have pretty near owned a decent 993.
Good luck !
