I am a week and a half in to my 2000 S ownership. I've owned a NA Miata, driven a NC multiple times, had a MR2 Spyder that I swapped a 2zz motor into, and now the 986S. In terms of pure handling, I'd rate them 986s > MR2 Spyder > NA Miata > NC Miata. Thats not to say the NC Miata is awful, its still miles about 99% of cars out there.
The Boxsters a heavier car than the other three and you can feel it, but with the wider tires its planted. Definitely a sports car, but luxury wise it has a much nicer interior than the other three.
I really loved the 2zz MR2, loved the mid engine. Sold it as it was my daily driver and with two seats didn't fit the (soon to be at the time) family. Now that we've settled into family life and my interest came back to roadsters, I was between the NB Mazdaspeed, 986s, and another 2zz swapped MR2. Feel I made the right decision!
