Coming from an MR2, I can appreciate how mid-engined cars need to be driven but I'm finding front engined cars are more forgiving, more fun.

How the suspension is set up is WAY more important than where the engine is located. Ideally, having most of the mass between the wheels (mid-engine) is what you want, but you can definitely screw it up. As someone previously stated, Toyota definitely "unimproved" the MR2 after people complained that it was too sharp (and prone to snap oversteer.)
