I have always liked the Miata and the Honda S2000 - I consider both to be true roadsters. I like the S2000 more.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) But my bias is based only on looks as I haven't driven either one. I had a chance to drive a Miata, but at 6'1" I didn't fit in the driver's seat. Don't know if I'd fit in an S2000. I have to move the seat up a notch to reach the pedals comfortably in a 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have had two. 1990 1.6 and 1997 1.8 Most reliable car I have ever owned. Super fun to drive. I am 6'1" 170lb and fit just fine. If you need a bit more headroom you can do a "foamectomy" on the factory seats. For my '97M, I built a Flyin' Miata FMII Turbo sleeper. Completely stock appearing from the outside, including wheels (unless you noticed the WilWoods) but with 249whp/222tq and dead reliable, in 2400lbs with LSD, full suspension, leather interior. This car would blow the doors off a Boxster S, but I also drove it 1200 miles from NYC to Myrtle Beach. In August. During a heat wave. I have also had '73 914 2.0 Similar in many ways, different in many ways. Slower than a stock Miata. Handles similar. Less reliable in every way. Gets a lot more attention. Two trunks. Endless motor swap and hop up options, like Miata. A bone stock Miata is one of the most fun, pleasurable to drive and reliable cars you will ever own. No one will give it a second look at a CandC. They are definitely for drivers. In 10 years, you will wonder where they have all gone. |
