The Miata has Tokiko's and a sway bar brace and the 3 handles just as good, although not in extremely tight turns. But then my MR2 outhandles both of them.

I guess personal style has a lot to do with it. Some people may like the feel of a certain car's handling, while others may disagree.

As long as it's fun for you, go for it.

 

I'm still leaning towards the 3 hatchback. There's nothing else I can see that gives me as much bang for the buck. The same was sure as hell true for the P5. If I can get one in my payment range, I'll go for it. I may end up getting an '05 or '06 if I can find one with 30K or less miles.
