What's the point of an entry level sports car? Well, it is not meant for the track, that would be a harsher car like a Lotus or S2000 or higher end Porsche. The real focus was on handling and at the limit controllability, not power or speed. Its meant to be quick but not fast. I would argue it was meant for car enthusiasts who will almost never track it but may try to get it loose every now and then. It was meant for people who want a livable road car with decent mpg, that enjoy handling, feedback, and control, as opposed to acceleration. The affordable rear drive acceleration king is the mustang.
