This car is absolutely the most fun I've had in a car in my life. The car is fun as is but when you take the top down there is no other car i'd rather have. Handling, performance, reliability are all first rate. The MSM feels faster than S2000s.

After taking a real close look at the Honda S2000 what sold me was the TURBO baby! Never mind it's about $8K less for a similarly equipped S2K. Yeah it’s got a lot less HP but I don’t feel it’s lacking in power, it’s actually pretty peppy. I'm not saying the Honda is a bad car, it’s awesome. For 8 grand less I get a turbo and the same tan as I would have with the S2K. Do yourself a favor and test drive both cars and if $$$ is no object get the Honda S2K.

We already owned a 1993 Miata when I saw the MX-5 Mazdaspeed on the Mazda website. We bought a Titanium Gray Mettalic one the next day! I was impressed by the added power of the turbo while still keeping the engine smooth. The suspension improvements also made car handle much better. The interior is comfortable and very user friendly, a big improvement from our 1993. The trunk, while still small, still holds most of the items we put into it - however some planning is usually required. The best part is the looks we get while driving it!

I got mine back in April right off the truck. It's the greatest car I've ever owned! The only complaints I have with it are that I wish it had a key hole light, and cruise control. The shifter takes some getting used to. The tendency is to over guide it when all it needs is pushed back and forth with a bit of side pressure for 1-2 and 5-6. The car gets 32 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg in town. It has just a bit of oversteer, with none of the body flex that my '91 model had. The ride is kind of brutal on the freeway, but that's to be expected. Just make sure you're pointed in the right direction and there's no cars in front of you when the turbo kicks in!

My Mazdaspeed Miata is the perfect blend of performance, sportiness, handling, reliability, and quality, which is critical to me. The only convertible I seriously considered was the 240HP Honda S2000. Though its a great car, it wasn't worth the extra $6,000 or so; not to me. The only thing my Miata was lacking: I'd have liked a power top. BOSE stereo is great, too!
