I had an '01 MX-5....loved it. But wanted more power so got an '04 S2000 and loved that too but it was a bit soft handling and many $'s for any major improvements. So got the '05 Elise. Fantastic car, most fun I have ever had at speed and amazing on the track. But sold it and got a '95 Miata and loving it too.

These are all great cars and very special in their own way. If $'s didn't matter, I'd have a Lotus for track days, a Miata for beautiful commute days, and my Fit for good mileage and shleping stuff. But $'s matter, and I haven't found time for the track...so it's a Fit and Miata for now. In my perfect world I'll add a track specific Exige someday...gotta have goals.

As many have said in this post...drive them all and you'll know what makes sense for your situation.
