mx5 gets my vote , my mate had a 182 and sold it within 5 months as he was expecting a lot more from it than perhaps he should. An as it happens I also have a mate who owned a 1996 mx5 a few years ago and still claims its the most fun car hes owned. Im not knocking the 182 at all, but im sure a well set up mx5 would be more rewarding to drive on track
