After driving my friends stock 86 then after I/H/E...
Its not just power that the 86 lacks...
Its that... Well the reviewer said it, "Grin Factor?"
No denying its a beautifully constructed, balanced, fun and lively car but it doesn't have that special something [For me anyway] that makes me 'want' to climb into it.

for a car that's worth 20k now vs an 86 which is around the 35k mark, the s2000 is still the better option according to this review. Bare in mind that the technology is over 10 years older than what's been implemented into the 86 and its still as good. Being quick is a significant attribute in a sports car and the 86 is bloody slow. im not saying that the s2000 is blisteringly quick, but it gives you a nice surge of speed when it hits vtec and the engine screams towards the redline.
I was about to sell my s2000 a few months back for either a 370z or brz (don't like toyotas) but after a decent test drive I couldn't justify spending the extra cash on a car I didn't find as nimble and exciting to drive than my current s2000. I was looking to upgrade to something better all round and these weren't anywhere close to what I was looking for or hoped they would be.

you s2k people just dont get it...
mx5 is just as slow as 86 yet one of the most acclaimed sport car ever made
its common sense the 86 cant have the same power at its pricepoint
maybe if 86 was 70k,had a higher tier interior finish to match the price and 170kw + then you see its way ahead
this is like comparing a corolla to type r and saying the corolla is slower,yeah no shit
