want to add some more comments about an s2000, a car of its kind:

the true value of a s2000 lies into the unique handling of it

the engine that's mounted in the front-mid position realizes the perfect 50/50 weight distribution

just a few minutes behind the wheel, you'll forget that you are driving a roaster

plus the car sits on a compact double wheel-wishbone suspension system

it didn't have many modern gadgets used in the modern technology today which makes it very light weight

"it's a classic piece of driving machinery"

You can get a slower, optioned out automatic Grand Touring Miata, but there aren't any options on an S2000, well except for a hardtop and maybe a spoiler.

If I were to say it over, I'd say that owning an S2000 is one step closer to
an Elise than a Miata. Just look at the hp/lbs of each car, combined with each car's philosophy.
