I went from a 911 Turbo to an MX5 to an Frs. The MX5 was a great car and you can never go wrong with one. The handling of the 86 was just so much more what I was after plus I'm not a roadster fan. The Mazda was more for my wife and she did look cute as hell driving it.

The MX5 needs a different suspension setup hands down. The body roll was just way to extreme. The 86 is just so much more planted. You learn to drive around the torque dip. It's never been an issue for me. You can get a tune if it really bothers you.
