S2000 vs Miata — two of the most iconic driver’s cars ever made… but which one actually deserves the crown?
Welcome to SHOWDOWN, the series where we put legendary cars head-to-head and break down what REALLY matters to enthusiasts.
In this episode, we compare the Honda S2000 (AP1/AP2) and the Mazda Miata (NA/NB/ND) across the categories that define a true driver’s car:
- Performance ⚡
- Handling & steering feel 🏎️
- Mod potential 🔧
- Reliability & ownership 🛠️
- Overall driving experience 🎯
The S2000 is known for its high-revving VTEC engine, razor-sharp chassis, and raw, analog feel.
The Miata? Lightweight, perfectly balanced, and arguably the purest expression of “slow car fast” ever made.
So… which one wins? Is the S2000 the ultimate precision weapon? Or does the Miata still reign as the king of driving fun? Watch to the end to see which car takes the win—and let us know in the comments which side you’re on.
