No MX-5's aren't fast, but that's not what they're about IMO. I've never driven a car with as much "character" as mine before. But, turbo and supercharges are very common for a good reason... Yes rust is a large issue, but from what you said about not liking the front, surely you're better off looking for looking at a mk2? Which would be better on that front. I'd recommend driving one first though, they're like big go-carts and just fun. Plus hardtops are all over the place so that solves the "soft top" con.
