Yes.. indeed as a sportscar the S2000 is far superior to the BRZ. BRZ/FRS is much better daily driver. I own an almost stock 06 S2000 and a stock BRZ limited. Couple things that annoy me on my BRZ limited: crappy stock sound system and no alignment adjustment options from the factory except F+R toe, and the engine feels like a pile of crap.. however I still like the car alot and DD it since it's so much more comfortable than the s2000.
Why the S2000 is a "superior sportscar"
- indestructible engine that revs to 8k (F22C1) it's got forged internals and won't blow up like Subaru's do.
- best tranny gearshift feel ever
- proper double wishbone front and rear suspension with full alignment adjustment from the factory.
- the feeling of having the rear end wanting to step out at every corner makes me giggle like a school girl.
The funny thing is.. my s2000 is probably worth more than the BRZ if I were to sell both cars now.

Reposting myself.. but I am DDing my BRZ now but still have my S2k. Overall, BRZ is the superior DD but S2K driving experience still more rewarding. I am still happy with the BRZ purchase. If you can take the power hit, then it shouldn't be a problem.. just comes down to a test drive. I daily drived my S2000 for about a year and took it to the track many times as well. If I needed to commute everyday to work in just one car, I would take the BRZ/FRS without a doubt. For a trackday or spirited weekend drive, the S2k is much better for that.
