When it was new, the S2000's avalanche of attention wasn't hard to explain. Three of its four rivals seemed like stone-age anachronisms with space-age price tags, bordering on 50 grand when equipped with the powertrain needed to keep up with the $33K Honda.BMW and Mercedes' entries are now modern pieces of engineering and all four are now faster, but some things never change: BMW, Mercedes, and Audi still need their most potent V6s to match the S2000's firepower (Z4 3.0si, SLK350, TT 3.2), and together with the Porsche Boxster range from $43,590 to $47,725. None of which are within driving distance of Honda's $34,600. There's one way to combine Honda's bang-for-the-buck with the relaxed six-cylinder muscle, greater isolation, and available automatic transmissions of the others: by picking up a Nissan 350Z Roadster for $35,655. Highly recommended if that's your thing. But in that whole crowd, only the Boxster comes close to matching the S2000's class-leading weight, class-leading agility, class-leading engine efficiency and fuel economy (25+ MPG), and class-leading reliability (not to mention class-leading noise and ride hardness). Just ask yourself if you'd rather take the Boxster's superior torque or the S2000's racier rush at the edge. Then ponder how much $12,000 means to you. |
