No. Even the AP, which wrote the book on style, has left the game.

Hmm... this instead of an NC Miata?

I suspect it will go for closer to 20k (no clue what they are worth), but if it's $15k or less, it is a good option.

S2ks are fun in their own way. Sort of. Especially when you can keep the revs way up. But around town regular driving (even in third car capacity)? Ehh. And if I was going to do that, I'd definitely want an AP2.

I'd go with almost any Miata over an S2K for almost any real world use.

I'll keep an eye out for the price. The low miles I would add would keep the resale high.

Same here.

S2000s are also no fun on the freeway. Loud and buzzy. The NC is much more relaxed.

Different, but with $15k for a roadster, I'd consider this.
