I owned an early Miata and daily driven an S2000 for many years along with my stupid trucks. I still think the Miata lacks power across all generations (still a great BTW). The later ones are much faster but its no S2000. The S is really a torque-less wonder. It drives like any other Honda in low revs. I really have no idea what people are talking about when they say it doesn't go in low revs? Just keep the foot in it for another 1/2 second and you are flying. If you are going to shift at 2500 rpm, then that's not the car for you since they red line at 9 (my AP1 will do just that). For cruising the back, roads with the top down, that's all you need to keep up with faster traffic without issues. The handling is insane. Better then any of my late 80s and earlier 911s. I have a Cayman now, so the Honda doesn't get driven much. My Cayman is a much more car in every way. For those that say it has no go they maybe expecting more from a 240hp motor that's only a 2.0L. Honda designed that to be a true sports cars without too much in way of comfort. The AC is cold that's for sure.
I can't seem to get rid of mine. The local kids don't have enough money to buy, The middle age folks want new with a different hood badge. I have not tried really hard, but I see nice example of S2000s out there for not a lot of money.
