Why buy a BRZ when you can have an S2000 which will arguably give you a very similar experience for less money? Really not trying to troll here, but I'm not 100% loyal to the BRZ either. The car is fantastic I'm sure, but the S2000 has been doing the same thing for the past 12 years. 100 hp/liter, high redline, low weight and great handling. Am I missing something? I wanna know what makes this car different from an S2000, honest.
Well for me, the S2000 was horribly impractical, 18/24 economy is a down seller. and the fact that its a roadster.

While they are similar in handling, they achieve it in completely different ways.

What we should be asking ourselves is whats more important to us as an individual buyer? In the overall bigger picture, even if the s2000 is a better performer, the BRZ still offers the same feeling of the sportyness of the s2000 but has a wider range of uses. AKA the Zx6 has better general value.
