The Honda S2000 and the Mazda MX-5 arrived in the same decade, at the same price, asking completely different things of the person behind the wheel. One was built to prove something — a 9,000 rpm redline, 125 horsepower per liter, naturally aspirated, a car so demanding that Honda revised its suspension to make it more forgiving. The other was built to feel something — a lightweight roadster that brought back what the British had abandoned and quietly became the best-selling two-seat sports car in history. So which one actually understood what a sports car is for — the machine that rewards mastery, or the one that rewards everyone? We compare the AP1 Honda S2000 and the NA/NB Mazda MX-5 — the engineering, the engines, the ownership reality, and the twenty-five-year argument that neither community has been able to settle. #honda #mazda #automotive #automotivehistory
