  1. +FreestylerAlbert It's a secondhand, though. Not a good comparison. But yeah, the S2000 is a masterpiece.

  2. girlncarorcarngirl I'd have an S2000 over a Porsche Carrera S any day. That said, if I got them for free, I'd sell the Porsche (if it were more valuable than the Honda, so no 250.000 km, run down Porsche 996), I'd sell the Porsche and then buy an S2000, but still have lots of leftover money.

  3. Grabonator86 Not a turbocharged one. The original engine is so good because it revs to 9000 rpm. That naturally aspirated character must be kept.

  4. DPPremier Personally, I'd love to see an MX-5 with the Wankel rotary engine from an RX-8.  I love the look of the first MX-5. Despite the pop-up headlamps, the design has never gotten old-fashioned. The second generation is just as pretty, but it looks a bit more soft. The third generation is my least favourite; it looks quite fat, to be honest. That might be because it is; it's 100 kilos heavier than the other generations. The new one looks sleek again. I love the small headlights; they go against the modern day trend of mounting enormous fish bowls that go all the way to the door mirrors. Yes, I'm looking at you, Renault Clio.

  5. +Kufre Udobong The GT86 is more powerful, but far less grippy. They're both fun, though, but I'd take the lighter, more refined, prettier and more modern (that shows in the interior) Mazda, even if it means sacrificing drifting shenenigans. But then again, I've become a bit of a Mazdaphile over the past few years.

  6. +DPPremier To be honest, I'd rather look at a hot girlfriend than the sportsman they're with. And I guess most people agree with that, unless they're attracted to men (either by being female or being male and gay). Damn, political correctness just forced that comment to be twice as long as it should be. But hey, this is the internet, and PC is the only way to prevent 500-comment long chains full of flamewars.

  7. DPPremier Of course, I was joking. Though surprisingly, the MX-5 looks bigger than it actually is. It's not brash, or even agressive. It's assertive. However, the design is simple and elegant. I like it, even if the back end looks a tad to high and narrow for my liking.
