This being my first post here so I thought I would ask a basic question about having a
2 car family including at least one roadster.

The background is that i bought a new GTI in 2002. It is my "jack of all trades" vehicle - it is not the best in any one category but is flexible enough for a homeowner to have as his only car. It has nice acceleration, german feel, is reliable, is comfortable, and I can put a mountain bike and a 60 lb. blue heeler in the back when I fold down the seats

Then last month, having been a roadster admirer for several years, I went out and bought a '94 Miata with a hardtop for $3,000. Bottom line is you can't get more fun per dollar than a used Miata. The problem is I also test drove a 2001 S and I felt like I was driving a cutting edge, F1 version of the Miata. So the memory of that test drive is still vivid in my consciousness enough so that I would like to purchase one.

Since I can only have 2 cars do I sell the Miata or the GTI? Practicality says keep the GTI, but if I sell the Miata will the S2000 fill ALL of that void?

If you have to ask, keep the Miata.

I don't think you will miss the Miata. You will however miss the utility of the GTI.

With the blue and the bile you probably need to keep a car like the GTI. Still giving up the Miata would be hard. Sure the S2000 is a better overall sportscar but it's hard to beat a Miata for pure fun.

Maybe you should sell me the Miata.

Here is my take, the pre-99 miatas are lightweight and fun but seriously underpowered. You can pick up a 2000/2001 s2000 for an exremely good price. I used to own both cars simultaneously and guess one collected dust on the warm summer days?

i say get rid of the miata. and get the S. but then again this is a s2000 board. may want to try other boards and hear others opinions as well.

It seems to me that from a practicality standpoint, the S and the Miata are identical, both fun to drive impractical little roadsters. If you owned both the S and the Miata, when would you use the Miata??

Sunny days > S ... Track days > S ... Picking up chicks > S ...

If you have the cash buy the S and dump the Miata, but I dont see any reason to buy the S and dump the GTI.
