Meh. My S2000 is my primary (and only) car. It's really a matter of personal preference. Drive them both and decide.

 

No doubt the MS3 is an awesome car, but I don't see the comparison here for two completely different cars.

 

Absolutely the s2000. But I'm sure you figured you would hear that on an s2000 forum. For a second car especially. No need for extra seats when it is a fun weekend car. Drop top is always a nice feature as well. And coming from a high horsepower fwd(gst) torque steer sucks. Sure it will be better in the winter, but since it's a 2nd car that shouldn't matter. Style wise imo s2000 wins hands down. Not really a fair comparison I don't think especially since it's not a DD.

 

it never fails to amaze me when people cross-shop FWD with RWD cars

 

WTF? "Should I get an S2k or a MS3?"

That's like waking up in the morning and wondering "Hmmm, should I have oatmeal for breakfast or jump off a bridge?"

Station wagon............................................. ........roadster. Bit of a crowbar separation there. (Eddy Izzard fans out there?) And yes, I'll call every car like it a station wagon. 4 door car, cabin and cargo area in the same compartment.....yep, station wagon. Just like that hideous new STi. However I actually prefer the wagon variant of the Mazda 3 over the sedan.

My sister has a 2.3 Mazda 3 sedan, and it's a nice car. I bet with a stick and turbo it should be a fun drive. Sure as hell ain't a schtook though

Geeez seriously?

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the mazda, just surprised that the two are being compared as possibilities for the same purpose.

 

ms3 is more cheap than the s2000 and alot more high maitenance as well. its a mazda for god sakes. i hated the mazda rx7 tranny and my mazda mpv spent thousands to fix. p.s. ms3 is fugly unless you get sunset orange

 

are you on crack? ms3 over s2k?

 

Tell me how a MS3 is more high maintenance than an S2k.
