Say you have around 7k to buy a nice 2 seater car. What would you buy?

I'm not sure which to choose, I like the VX220 and the Honda S2000 but not sure.

Any suggestions?
cheers

i thought the vx220 a bit shitty inside, may have been a bad example i was in mind, the s2000 feels a lot more livable

no, you right. The interior in the vx is basic.

oh and the mx5 is not very nice looking IMO.

Yeah some are crap, ones with leather door cards and mats are alright but stuff still rattles and squeaks. I found the S2000 quite oversteery and I dont get the vtec thing but thats just me.

Have you driven either of them Reedy? (VX or S2k)

You might love the vx after a drive and be happy to go with a cat write off repaired one or high mileage, both cars are very subjective from my experiences.
