I recently became a father to a beautiful baby girl, and as a result sacrifices had to be made. I hated to do it, but I traded in my 2007 NFR S2000. The closest driving experience to the S2000 I could find (within my budget) that also had a backseat was a 2009 Mazda RX-8. So far I am pretty happy with it, but I do miss the top down driving (especially here in Florida) and the gearbox of the S2000. It has a similar feel to it, with it being a somewhat high hp/low torque vehicle, and requiring the revs to be kept high for spirited driving. Anyway, I'm sure down the road I will pick up another S2000 - but probably not for several years, as I can't afford two cars at the moment.

I will miss her


The new ride

 

Good choice for a kid hauler

 

the car looks happy also.

 

why not a civic si sedan?

 

Three letters: FWD

 

Not a bad alternative.

 

hate the new bumper/grill style of mazdas

 

congratz on the purchase and the new addition to your house.

 

Thank you. She is well worth giving up the S2000 for!

 

I like the new Mazda mouth. It reminds me of the Mugen face.
