100X better looking huh? No open-top vehicle could look that good, period.

 

^ Geez...dont tell me now that JLB has been banned, your taking over for him.

 

TwiBlue, please don't start pulling the slack for banned boi or we'll start talking sh** about the G35.

 

No, but when every post you make has some reference to how Mazda or the Miata is superior in some way, shape, or form, you become annoying.

Dodge Viper SRT-10? Ferrari 360 Spider? Mercedes SL500? Porsche 911 Cab?

Should I keep going?

 

this thread is hilarious.....i love how a miata owner spends so much time on the S2K forum.......while i don't even know the URL of a miata forum

 

 

It's miata.net

They're pretty cool over their - BTW, most of them can't stand JLB over there either...

 

Get your head of your rectum. Driving a sports car is not about who or what people think you are driving it, it's about fun. Mazda has sold 532,000+ Miata's in the past 15 years. This is something Honda couldn't do with the S2000, even if they wanted to. Obviously there are 532,000+ people who's egos were not the #1 deciding factor when car shopping and were not concerned about some idiotic stigma created by ignorant people like you. Guess what. I was one of them. I've now owned both and both were/are fun cars to drive in their own way. Why did I buy an S2000? Not because I was concerned about what people thought my sexual preferences were. I wanted something new and I wanted something faster with a warranty. I had always like the S2000, but when I was shopping for roadster's in 1999, I wasn't going to pay a $10,000+ markup for a Honda.

The S2000 and Miata NB (99-05) do not look that different. Yes, the S2000 has more aggressive lines and is not as european looking as the Miata, but to the "untrained" eye, they are not significantly different. So given the fact that the majority of people out there don't know their asses from their elbos about cars, for all you know, you may have already been labeled less than masculine driving your testosterone charged VTECing machine you think is so much more manly than the Miata. I bet that puts a little dent in your ego, huh? The fact of the matter is, I had people come up to me all the time when I had my Miata asking me what kind of car it was. I had some think it was a BMW. Some thought it was a Porsche. I had one not-so-car-smart individual think it was a Viper. With the hardtop on, it didn't look like a Miata. It looked more RX-7ish than a Miata. I've had similar experiences with the S2000 and just recently had something think it was a Miata. So, I wouldn't be so confident that you're the studd muffin that you think you are driving your mighty S2000. Get over it and give credit where credit is due. Obviously Mazda has done something right to have sold over a half million of them. I love both cars and it makes me sick when people with no experience with something are as ignorant as you.





You can't tell me these cars don't look similar.

 

People buy S2000 because they want it more than Miata even though it costs alot (or a bit to some ppl) more..

I was thinking about Miata or S2000 as well..

I'd been in love with Miata since my uncle got one in 97.. (totalled after 1 month) so as my college graduation was approaching I was looking at a fun toy car... Miata were more available in different price range (over 10 years of production) but when I saw my friend's S2000... wow.. it took less than a month to buy one.. It is not fair to compare two because I was looking at 93~96 Miata hopefully under $5k but I just fell in love with S and made that 4X financial committment...

because:

First, I like the driver friendly interior of S imo.. because when I looked at S interior for the first time, it reminded me of Supra (IMO) in a sense that the interior seems shifted to the driver. I've never owned a racing oriented car so it was an awesome scene...

Second, when I test drove the car... VTEC was just so lovely.. yes it takes a bit of patience to 6k for VTEC but that was something I will never forget about S...

Third, I am not sure how it is in newer Miatas but the one I remember was manual convertible (using hand and arm to swing it back to open the top) and S was auto...

my reasons might not make sense to someone else who has braoder knowledge in both cars but simply to me who didn't know (and still doesn't) about neither Miata nor S2000, it was like love at first sight...

people like different cars for different reasons..
