Outright grip. Lap times. 1/4 mile times. All of these are pretty much irrelevant to what makes for a great driver's car.

Another great example is an E30 M3. 200hp. Not terribly quick. Low grip levels by today's standards. And a far, far better driver's car than the current 414hp E9x M3 which would annihilate it by every objective measure.

It's just utterly ridiculous to call the Miata mediocre because it delivers slow lap times. Lap times have nothing to do with driving enjoyment, which is what matters in a driver's car.
