Did own a ND MX-5 Recaro Edition for 2 years! It had a 2.0 engine, 163 BHP. It was a lot of fun on twisty B-roads. Also a perfect car for London.
The RCF is a different beast. Too much power for every day, use but so much better GT cruiser!
RWD my favourite too, cars are more fin to drive, agile, nimble. A sports car should be RWD. If it has too much power, AWD is necessary.
