The Mazda MX5 (Miata) is a super car and my overall best buy sportscar but, again, disappointingly heavy. I haven't driven the Honda S2000, it seems people either hate or love them. These cars are not fast in Porsche or Ferrari sense, or in the straight line sense of a Lambo or Bugatti. The cheapest way to make a car quiet and pass crash tests is to throw weight at it. It is expensive to make a strong car light.
