Better handling for sure, but dollar for dollar, they can't come close to the twins if anything but power is why you bought the car.
I feel that some of us who cherish this car have hopelessly been stuck in the 80s/90s. This car is fulfilling so many weird "small car rwd" fantasies for me without being a Miata or an e30/36 BMW, it's perfect. Bonus: it has a great fueling system and fuel mileage!

Dude I just got my 86 yesterday and I have to agree this is spot on. There's just something intangible about it. It's just a cohesive well put together package with little nuances that really make it special.
I've also owned a few mazdaspeeds making over 300whp, a turbo civic si, supercharged miata etc.
I don't miss having more power and the 86 doesn't feel "slow".
