"low end torque" is very relative.

Think of it as a percentage of the power band rather than a fixed RPM.

With great rev limiters come great power.

That said, for a low wrenching car I would choose age, the S2000 may be in for work in the future unless it is already done.

That favors the Miata.

Take a peak at a 2008-2009 Jaguar XK.
