Hey guys and girls, just bought a 2001 S2k and LOVE it. Coming from a 1999 Miata which was my baby, this is my new one. Had the miata for 3 years and thought it was time for a change. I loved the look of the S2k so I read up on it. Test drove one a month ago and fell in love with it. I was looking locally, but then I found one in California with 13k miles on it. Garaged all its life, weekend driver, so I got it for 19k. I thought it was a great deal. The previous owner even got the extended warranty, so I'm covered till 2008. Anyway, just thought I'd share, I'm in love with this car, it's as fun as a miata but on steroids. Here are some pics, though if you follow the link you'll get the high-res ones.

Red looks good, congrats. Your soft top looks like it might not be going down as far as it should. The elastic bands that make it go down might be getting old.

 

Thanks for the tip...it didn't look like it was going down all the way. Is it safe to push?

 

The S looks to much bigger when sitting next to a miata. Well, congrats on your new S and jope you enjoy it.

nice car. i love the red ones.

 

wow...the miata looks like a baby next to the S2000.

 

 

I know we always rail about the fact that people say, "Oh, is that a Miata?"...
But looking at the two side-by-side with similar colors and even wheels, well, I could understand how someone who didn't really notice cars to draw a comparison/make an indentification mistake.

Nice cars. Both of them.

 

Great pics. Looks like feeding time for the S.
I went from a 1999 Miata 10AE(blue) to a Suzuka blue S2k. Wish I could have got the comparion shot although the blues are quite a bit different. You're right they are both fun to drive.

 

The Miata was (is) a complete blast to drive. I'm very glad I learned to drive "properly" in it, it's got rear wheel drive and just enough power to make it super fun around the twisties. The S2000 is a whole 'nother beast. Some girls from the neighborhood walked up the street when I was taking the pictures and asked why I was taking them. I told them and one girl said "I like the one in the front (Miata) better." Grr.
