mint, i have driven an mx5 yes. and they are fun, but theres just something about an 86 that makes them awesomely fun to drive.
i will agree with you that they are not the uber drift cars people make out, in fact, in stock trim they are poo. you have to spend money getting the suspension and diff sorted out to make them drift well. you can get the back end out and control it pretty easy in an 86 compared to the mx5. mx5 is more grip than drift.
you cant really understand until youve driven one, but the ae86 is so fun. its just enough power to have fun, but not too much to end up in a wall. they just make you smile. thats the fun factor. you can smash them about all the time, drift about fairly easily and have a good laugh in them.
