Okay so lets try this again without the flame war (flame2) shall we...
As most of you know I've been considering possibly trading in my MS3 for a S2000 in about 1.5yrs time. However, upon farther discussion quite a few members have pointed me in the direction of getting a used Miata instead while keeping the MS3 which sounds like a kick ass idea. My only issue with this is that will the Miata be a pain in the ass to maintain since I would be buying one used? See if I went with the S2000 I would get a certified used one with not too many miles on the clock. Plus I'm pretty confident in the S2000's ability to stand the test of time where's the Miata.... Not so sure
All this said, I really like the Mazdaspeed3 it's just that I've been making a few extra pennies and absolutely love cars. To me the MS3 is an awesome daily driver / fast, sporty and very usable vehicle but sometimes I find myself wanting something a tad more focused if you know what I mean.
I traded in an S2000 for my MS3. After 5 years of the vert I was sick and tired of all the road noise (yes even with the top up).
However, as a man, I just can't see myself driving a Miata. To me it is a girls car. Yah Yah I know, track car, sporty yadda yadda yadda....still a chics car in my mind and nothing gives me a bigger giggle (yes giggle) than seeing some dude that weighs 250lbs and is 6ft tall crammed in a Miata. The only thing missing is a pink scarf as I can't think of anything more gay.
So those of you that own a Miata for anything other that Autocross etc. Don't get all bent out of shape and defensive. Where the Miata screams girl the S2000 screams guy. So I would pick 100% the S2000 if I was looking at a Miata or S2000 choice.
Note: This is my personal feelings on the 2 cars, not a fact. So unless you give a rats ass what I think, don't get your feelings hurt if you disagree.
