I read in Top Gear that the number one rated sports car by readers was the Honda S2000. That car is cheaper than a Porsche Boxster, more reliable and more fun. I drove both the Boxster and S2000 and would take the Honda S2000 hands down for the fun factor, reliability, cheaper insurance and 10k in savings over a Boxster.
And you know how the saying goes. My lugnut has more torque than a Honda :).
Regarding the previous thread about BMW v mazda. BMW 3's are one of the few cars that are near 50/50 weight distributed and RWD. That and the handling is top notch. The only problem i see is most who drive one don't appreciate that. Mazda miatas, rx-8, and mazdaspeed3 are respectable. The crappy thing about BIMMERS are the maintanence and electrical gremlins that happen after 4 years. But considering an Mazda RX-8's rotary engine likes to eat a can an oil every so often, I would consider maintanence a wash.

August 25, 2007 at 11:15 PM #81032mixxalotParticipantMazdas are not cheap cars.
I test drove the new Mazda RX8 and loaded it costs over 30k so not a cheap car.
Maybe the crappy Mazda 3 is cheap but not a loaded Miata or RX8 which compete with BMW, Infiniti and Lexus sport coupes.
But serious, I will have to ask my buddy who will be in Germany what the young professional guys drive who like sports cars to work on the autobahn. I’ve heard that Audis are popular in Europe and the Audi TT is a fun car- but very expensive.
