A miata will always be somewhat of a chick car. Plus who wouldnt want to drive a car to 8500 rpm.

S2000. Better interior. fun to drive six speed. Fast and high reving car. The only advantage I see to the miata is it is turbocharged, and there are S2000 turbo kits out there. The S2000 doesnt look as gay either.

Randy, the MSM is a 6-speed as well.
The solution is simple: drive them both! They are just very different cars, despite looking so similar on paper. Test drive them as much as you can, and get a feel for them. The choice will be more obvious then. They are both wonderful cars, just a little different. Whaetever you get, be sure to autocross it! They were made for cone-dodging.

I have a MSM and my sister has the S2000... Yes, the miata is a chic car, but then again, all of the people in the miata club around here are men in their 40's who wear black socks with sandals and have computer related jobs  The HUGE difference between the 2 is that I paid 18K brand new for mine and my sister paid 33K for hers. The S2000 is an awesome car, dont get me wrong, but I love my inexpensive turbo charged car... gay or not... but then again, I am a girl so it doesnt really matter. Also when you remove the badging, it makes a great little sleeper to the unsuspecting..

Your car is so awesome!!
If I had a choice, I would go with neither though. I'm too tall to fit in either!!!

Have you ever sat in either? I'm 6' and have a few inches to spare in the Miata, and way more in the S2000. You have to be BIG to not fit.

Thanks I love her.. ( Matilda ). Too bad you can't see the heavy pearl in the red pain in pics.. It has a heavy gold flake to it that just shines in the sunlight.. Yeah being a mere 4'11" has its advantages for sure.... although not many... Side view...
