924 through 968 are misunderstood.

They are properly engineered things that make 986s feel utterly flimsy. The control weights and feel in those cars are pukka. The 986 is an over-servoed luxury barge by comparison.

They're transaxle designs, part of the reason they handle so well and typically quite a high end feature.

The only problem for me with the 924 through 968 is that they lack a rousing flat-six engine note.

Don't get me wrong, I think 986 are wonderful and on balance prefer them to 924-968s. But those four-pit cars do have the edge on our Boxsters by some driving-enjoyment metrics.
