Dollar vs power ratio would be
1- MR2turbo
2- 350Z (Z33)
3-S2000

But for all out speed, the MR2 is quicker, the 350Z is top end fast, but the S2000 is a all around car.

I owned an S2000 for over 80k miles. I test drove a 350Z a couple times with the thought of trading the S2000 for one. I didn't. In my opinion, the 350Z is an easier to drive and easier to live with on a daily basis. However, it is nowhere near as fun to drive as an S2000. It's also the best sounding 4 cylinder in the world. Period.


Mister twos are a great alternative if you're on a budget. The chassis dynamics simply aren't up to par with the other two though. Nothing against an MR2, it's just an older design. They are GREAT tuner cars though and can be made to hang with and beat the other two for far less money. They're fucking beautiful too when done up right.

Top Gear dogged it, but 5th gear (Tiff) loved it. Drive the cars and decide for yourself.

Cant go wrong with any of them.

Z has more room, S2000 is a vert with good handling, and the MR2 is a mid engine platform.

and yes, the s engine is hands down the best sounding 4 cylinder. the z may beat the s in a run, but for looks, like you asked, the s2k blows the z outta the water!!

Ive owned a 06 z and an ap1 s2k. Imo, the s2k was a better everyday car and a blast to drive. I found the z to be alittle boring aleast when it was stock. Im currently selling my s though to get something to build. Its up to you, go test drive them.

Whe i was going to buy a new car i was trying to decide between and Z and a s2k. Once i test drove both of them it was a easy choice. I choose the s2k because like eveyone said it was alot more fun to drive. The Z definetly has more room. I also think the S is faster. The Z will beat the S of the line but the S would walk one down.
