Rwd, 50/50 weight, vtec, lightweight, honda reliability, revs to 9k, a toddler could drift it stock and it beats 100k cars around the track.

convertible only.

The S2000 is cool but largely overrated. The only thing it has going for it is its meme engine hp/l rating which no one really gives a shit about except for some autists. It's an average roadster that is very overpriced and is surpassed by the 350z/z4/911 in virtually every aspect of performance and value.

People like to think of the S2000 as Honda's version of the miata legacy but it just simply hasn't caught on. It's a strange vehicle that is out of place in its category.

Because a 350Z is a third of the price, faster, and has a roof

only weighs 200lbs more on the base

I own the best version of the best car

which 100k cars

Escalade probably lel

It is the best car in it's class, gooks confirmed it don't bother them about it. Fastest, best chassis, most reliable, most suitable to be a tuning car, and let's not forget iconic.

Though I'd personally choose the 986 Boxster S because it's cheaper.

>Though I'd personally choose the 986 Boxster S because it's cheaper
It's also more comfortable and more practical because 2 trunks, so as an only car the Boxster is probably the better choice.
For a weekend warrior it's a toss-up.

Nope. Its more expensive here.
S2000 is 10-15k

I'm about to check out a RX-7

If the S2K had a roof maybe I'd consider it.

Any luxury landbarge/not performance oriented cars.
And for the fags saying the 350z is faster, get some sense.

Rice tax and its totally impractical for me now. I need a trunk now.

I can get a 350Z in the US for under 5K

>z4
Top kek

Hard top nigger.

Import one to moortugal and sell it for 20k

nah, I'd rather have my special snowflake status and rotary

Enjoy your engine rebuilds.
Honda will last a lifetime of beating

I'd rather an RX-8 now that they're dropping.

because a good one is like 20k+

Cramped, slow, unreliable, horrible ride, expensive road costs, drinks fuel.

Yeah, I know why I don't own one.

>honda
>unreliable

>i4
>drinks fuel

has anyone ever told you that you might have more than 1 (one) mental disability?

That wing is fucking gay

>S2000
because it looks really boring

i have a bumper of an S2000 in my basement
never owned one

Will an S2000? I don't think so.

Anyway, an FD is even lighter and better balanced, faster, and can fit bigger and wider wheels without modification. It also looks a lot better and can fit an adult inside, up to 4 if you push it. It sounds better too and is a total chick magnet.

I'm a fan of the s2000, but even I know it has terrible mpg and road costs. The insurance costs alone are horrible.

I was in the market for a convertible a long time ago and test drove a NC Miata, MR-S, and S2000.

Chose the NC Miata because it was the most comfortable, great mpg, cheap to insure, cheap to mod, cheap to repair.

Again, s2000 is a great car, but it's pricey to own. Can't speak of reliability because I haven't owned one personally.

>tfw s2000 insurance group 40 while a 1.8 mx5 is group 21

>overpriced

agreed. I think honda overestimated what peopel were willing to pay for what is actually a pretty cool ride.

Because its its not kawaii like miata-kun :3

Because I don't want to DD a vert, and I need a car with more than 2 seats.

Factory functional aero m8.

>picks second worst miata when best (NB) is cheaper

Are those speedster bumps? What is this

But I already do, OP. AP1.

>Never heard of the s2k CR

His S2000 is a Club Racer. They came fitted with these tonneaus and hardtops instead of the power soft top.

S2000 CR. Comes with a factory hardtop, no soft top, chassis bracing, functional aero, shorter shifter throw, quicker steering ratio, stiffer suspension, etc

Honda made 699 of them, sold in 2008 and 2009

because for the price of s2000 i could buy a miata and make it faster

they're nice as shit, but I thought they didn't sell them in the US

>nb
>best

it's the worst one
not as pure as the first one, inferior to the third in every possible way except for weight and inferior to the ND in EVERY way

There is literally no reason to buy a Miata if you aren't buying an NA.

i really like the s2000, one of the very few nice cars by honda other than the ultrarare rwd cars, but
because
>convertable only
>expensive miata
>made by honda whose crimes against humanity include "looks like mr, smells like mr, tastes like mr but is a fucking ff" and crv

but that's incorrect
you can buy the NC for superior chassis (funfact: it's chassis rigidity is better than s2000) and bigger engine bay for possible swaps

meanwhile ND is pretty much like NA except new and with a bit more bodyroll if you wont get the bilstein package

NB is kinda pointless except for the fact that it's easier to find one in a good condition compared to NA and it's actually cheaper nowadays because nobody wants them kek

NA is best but its hard to find one with an interior that isnt torn to shreds

You realize everything about the NA including handling and feel was improved dramatically but you'd prefer to ignore facts and use buzzwords like "pure"

Other way around actually, CR was sold in the US only. A good few have already been exported though

>(funfact: it's chassis rigidity is better than s2000)

Because people overpriced them, have already modded them or both.

I'm mad jelly

Because your shitbox miata looks less boring rightM

Because my "friend" wrecked my AP2 so I got a better daily (MS3) to replace it. S2k isn't even overrated, it's just that fucking good and I'd like to have another.

Someone got triggered

Your fagmobile will never be faster than that vtec. Keep dreaming tho.
>fitting 4 adults in a 2 seat convertible
Kekkles

kek I don't have a miata I have a golf
and I still think the s2000 looks boring

you guys are some stupid motherfuckers.

nb>nd>na>nc

nb & nd will always be god tier, na & nc will always be trash.

if you can't afford an nd with a lsd, nb is the only option.
>best styling
>easier to find
>less likely to be riced
>no na miata tax
>no gay headlights
>slightly more powerful engine
>better aerodynamics

That tarbo fagmobile will last 3 hard pulls.

>Honda S2000 (1st-Gen, AP1) 7,100
>Mazda MX-5 (NC, 2006 – 2008) 8,132 (+47% torsional; +22% bending. See press release)

So your golf is even more boring than the miata.
Why didnt you get the scirocco you peasant?

damn, now I know how Japan feels when everyone takes their GTRs.

Now I'm extra jealous of yours. Meet me on the toe gay for pinks faggot

sweet opinions bro
nobody gives a shit about nb, it's soulless compared to na and inferior to both nc and nd

what the fug is a scirocco
they must not sell those in my country

He could be American, they never got the Scirocco iirc.

True and it feels bad man. But we have the highest burgers per capita so fuck yuropoors anyway

>what the fug is a scirocco
A Golf that actually looks pretty sexy.

sirocco is like a golf gti but instead it is THE best looking hatchback in the world.

It's absolutely fucking gorgeous. Every time I see one I get butterflies

>fagmobile
Words like this is why everybody thinks hondafags are retarded

It just looks like a golf with botulism

Cry more then.
>pic related
my ride

I like the front but the back looks like a nigger's lips

>this thing
>good looking

oww my sides hurts

>give him literal objective facts
>retard cannot comprehend facts from opinions

why do i even try?

miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto/5894296372.html

these are the type of dumbfucks that own na miatas. most, if not every, nb miata is cared for fairly well as all the busriders flock to the na & abuse it to shit.

nb has a better chassis, and minor engine improvements, thus making it the superior miata. you faggots only care about pop up headlights, proving why there is so much na miata shilling in this thread

i want something safer tho

>inb4 "you take a risk every time"

Hilarious right?

...

>cherrypicking this fucking hard
>he thinks that "best styling" is "literal objective facts"

stop embarrassing yourself

I don't understand what argument you are even trying to make. Yeah, people like to rice out NAs. How does that make it a poor pick?

I think the abundance of NBs on the market and lack of NAs is evidence enough that people prefer the NAs which are becoming increasingly harder to find in good shape/without rust.

The NA is the epitome of a classic Miata. In my opinion, if it doesn't have the pop up lights, it's not a miata.

And an ND miata is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever seen. No one spends $30,000 on a "modern miata". You're just trying to make it something it never was. You buy a 350Z or a Porsche or some other roadster at that point.

barking at the wrong tree here nigger, i don't own the NA
also, i find it hilarious that while NC recieved not minor but major upgrades yet you claim that it's inferior but suddenly specs matters when it comes to NA vs NB
nice double standards faggot

pretty much any miata can be safely boosted to 250-300bhp

the argument i am trying to make is that the nb miata is the superior miata if you are going to buy used for the following reasons:
>better chassis
>engine improvements
>better examples on used market
>no drift/jaydeemm tax like there is on na miatas

are you literally trying to tell me that the nb miata with a better chassis & improved engine is worse than the first gen miata?

the nc is the fucking heaviest at 2500 pounds, whereas the nb is 2200 pounds. it also uses drive by wire, and the stability control interferes often & is fucking awful.

You are comparing two completely different things here. Yes, on paper, the NB is a better car - but there isn't a single person on the planet who has driven both and will not say that the NA is a better miata

How is highschool going?

yeah, but your engine isn't mid-mounted so it's automatically shit

>tfw people choose an na miata over this

Taste follows a normal distribution.
Just like iq, and you sit far to the left on both graphs.

>thinks hondas are reliable

Has anyone told you that you've never worked on cars?

>thinks hondas are unreliable
1/10 made me reply

>it's literally an egg

you sure have a weird way of asking for more pics

...

This coming from someone who bought an egg and thinks it looks good.

I did. I bought one brand new in 2005, and sold it in 2013.

>he keeps replying
Stay btfo

For how much did you sell it?

Enjoy your shitbox carolla poorfag
