I am thinking mx-5. My scoob just hides the speed too well, and also does not have really good steering feel. You have to go silly fast in a scooby before you get the feel of speed

I swapped my scoob for an MX-5, 2.0L Sport. Misses reckons I drive a lot faster in than I did in the scoob, but I know I'm going considerably slower having checked over a familiar route. You certainly feel like your shifting in mx-5, but it's very tail happy in the wet and you have to be a lot more controlled putting the power down.

My M3 Evolution was a pretty good replacement. All the performance and very good handling.
