I really liked the S2000 because it felt like an extremely well built car. Not to mention hearing the S2000's exhaust note with the top down was awesome. I drove both because I considered both, however, the interior in the miata was just shit quality feeling. I hated it. I just also loved the way the car looked stock.

The S2000 always reminded me of a pinewood derby car.

being a mazda guy i got to go miata but the only ones i see around town all have rainbows on the back!! but if you don't care about that, i think they look better they got that 60's euro gt car look like a xj or something. the honda is like all hondas to me very good very high tech nicely built but very clinical. thats not a bad thing but i rather be different

miata = inexpensive and reliable.

make sure to modify it to manly it up and give it a few performance mods and it does great.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

Miata is a obviously a slight down grade from the s2000, but the price difference is also great.

A good 1st gen Miata can go for 3k easy, 2nd gen for 5k/6k, and the s2000 still 9k and up easy. But then theres the Mazdaspeed Miata which even tho its a FI car, stock for stock might out perform a s2000, and is still a bit cheaper, just a lil less common.

As far as roadster's that I like, I think the list goes as follows, starting with the best to last.

Shelby Cobra haa
BMW Z3 M Roadster
MazdaSpeed Miata
Honda S2000
BMW Z3 2.8 Model
Mazda 2nd Gen Miata
BMW Z3 1.9 Model
Mazda 1st Gen Miata


But I love them all and still would love to own them all, some how lol.

P.S. The new miatas shouldnt even be compared... they dont perform the same, and only does the most recent model look ok.
