S2000 and MRS have good track potential and aftermarket parts.   Mito is more of a hot hatch.

I would vote for MRS first among the 3.

if to a further extreme, add USD3899~$30500, you can upgrade to 2.7 engine

Anyway, i am just bullshitting. haaa.... pretending to be something.

If pay 188,888 and time is not an issue, why not import a Elise from UK.....

古惑強

Don't go for 2.5L laa, go for 2.7 or 3.2 maa!  2.5L is a weak engine, that is why Porsche upgrade it to 2.7 within a short period of time.

yeah .....

Most of the S2000 vtec engine do not produce 250ps as claimed.

S2000 is an unique 9000rpm machine, only one of its kind in this world (beside wankel engine), it is sexy and attractive, but not easy to extract the performance on the street, other turbo cars or big cc NA machines will walk all over you before you get any real torque from the engine.  Nice looking track machine though.

MR-S, oh please don't let me start on it.  It is the most ugly one among the MR2 series, period!

Mito is good for daily commuting + weekend fun time, however with a small 1.4L turbo, it lacks the top-end power of the bigger engine competitors, it is at best comparable to 2.0 NA engines.  If you are planning to keep the car just 1~2 years then you will be facing a pretty steep depreciation as well.  

I would go for either S2000 or Mito.

Eric

S2000 is over-priced and difficult to get a straight one.
Go for the new Mito la.
MR-S should be less expensive to keep/run and good
for daily driving.

Simon

To me S2000 is a special car, purposely engineering FR with 50:50 weight distribution in order to experiment the handling of modern 50:50 high performance sports car.
MR-S is one end product, engineered with the handling data collected from Mk1 and Mk2.
MiTo is an easy handling, little fun driving car with Alfa spirit.

If I were in position to choose, I will take S2000 or MR-S.

thanks everyone's input....then now i may narrow down into s2000, mrs and of course mito....need to make decision by may as for the early bird price offered by alfa.....
