i would prefer to have the mx5 over the mr2. The mr2 platform is very fun to drive and handles amazing. But if you mess up it will bite back and hard. I think the mx5 front engine rear wheel drive set up is "slightly" safer.

+1, if you want a car you can throw around, get a little sideways, and just generally have fun with, then the mx-5 would be a better choice. MR2 is GREAT for corners and handling, but it's strictly business. It's a dangerous territory when you start throwing around a midship-rwd car, without a LOT of experience.
