Would this be a good alternative?

True. But I heard the S responds alot better to simple bolt ons than a Z would, so there seems to be more potential for more power without having to spend an arm and a leg. Of course turbo both and the Z would win hands down.

if i was to get a 4 banger vert today, i would hold off till the next miata is released and buy new.

The miata has never been a "sexy" car, the S is the only vert I find appealing for some reason. The designed it very well (looks wise)

yah, that is true... the new miata looks like a perverted snake peeking through a hole. previous gens pretty much all look like a f-king joke too..at least their grinning facia do.

OP. These threads really never work. You are on a 370z forum, the answers will mostly be biased.

You need to make a list of all the things you are looking for in a car. Daily driver? Weekend toy? Budget? Need back seats? Still want factory warranty? Lots of other things to take into account. Once you make a list you can start checking off cars that don't fit. Forums are a great place to do research and get opinions, but ultimately it will be YOU making the choice about which car to get.

That being said, pass on the S2k =P

czirrfb · 12-10-2014, 11:08 AM

Haha miatas have lots of potential with the right mods or engine swaps but they are so hideous!

1st · 12-10-2014, 11:11 AM

Sounds to me like you just want to get into something new NOW. The s2k has always been one of my favs but honestly get into a s2kcr if your wanting an s2k if not wait and save your day will come.

Isnt the CR only difference is that it has a removable hard top and no soft top and has a spoiler/body kit?

No way in hell. AP2 S2K's with low miles go for $20k+
