I had a '98 MZ3 and it wasn't good. I sold it and got another E36 M3 as soon as possible because the handling was atrocious. I have driven a few S2000's and they are spectacular as a "balls to the wall" sports car for canyon running or what have you. The high rpm engine takes a bit of getting accustomed to winding out without squinting (like it's going to explode) but the handling and braking are just great. The "old" E30 semi-trailing arm rear suspension was obsolete when the MZ3 came out but they couldn't figure out how to fit the new E36 style Multi-link set-up in the small space allotted. And to make matters worse the chassis flex was outrageous. Heck, the S2000 didn't compromise that part at all. When you sit in it, it's hard not to notice the huge "hat channel" boxed chassis reinforcement running across the floor. Get the Honda.
