I will stick with cars that I have actually owned: I would say it depends on how you define handling. I like something that is fun to hustle around on the street as that is where I spend most of my time.
The stock ND Miata (I had a 124 Spider Abarth) has a decent amount of body roll. You can make it work, but I prefer something a little more planted. Two of my favorites that can still be found new are the Civic Type R and SS 1LE. You really can't judge the CTR until you have driven one. Handles much better than any FWD should be able to. Camaro SS 1LE is a tremendous value. Tons of fun on the street, lots of power and grip. It also sounds fantastic and is fully capable of doing track duty.
