2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata vs. 2004 Honda S2000 Comparison Review: Cross-Generational Roadster Showdown www.thedrive.com

When the Honda S2000 roadster went out of production in 2009, things looked bleak for the temple of VTEC.
You see, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is still very much a thing, and the recently-updated 2019 model promises the purest open-top experience this side of modern safety regulations.
But in terms of sheer enjoyment on both road and track, the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata's superior steering, cotton-weight inputs, and modern amenities put it awfully, admirably close to the 15-year-old Honda.
If you're looking for a second car that'll only be driven on warm, dry days, it's worth your time to look into a used Honda S2000.
If finances and storage constraints dictate that one vehicle must do it all, spring for the new Mazda Miata with its heated seats, Bluetooth, and, y'know, a warranty.
