want comfy, little bit refined

That's not describing an S2000 to me. For starters have you ever sat in one? There's not much room, once your in and you've closed the door it can get a little claustrophobic. Personally I wouldn't describe the ride as 'comfy', the suspension is very much on the firm side and coupled with the lack of cabin space a lengthy journey can be extremely tiresome. IMO an S2000 is best kept for occasional fair weather use when you can let the roof down and enjoy the car for what it is, as it's neither a long distance cruiser or an everyday runabout. They go well, they handle well (although can get a little sketchy from lift off over steer), but the ride quality can get annoying, the gearbox feels like it's been lifted straight out of a tractor and although at first the roar from the intake can sound quite exciting it does get a little annoying after a while.

The S2000 isn't a bad car, but I personally wouldn't recommend one for a daily drive.
