I'd argue that there are very few cars slow enough now to have fun on the street - even a GTI is wicked fast compared to something 15 years ago and a ND Miata is pretty fast too. The fastest cars I've driven are a 992S and a 781 Boxster GTS and it's impossible to stretch them out on public roads properly but they are still so brilliantly engaging at any speed b/c of how well made they are. It's not as fun as a ND Miata on public roads in the purest sense but it was still fun in it's own way.

Unlike exotics though, I didn't feel I needed to baby either Porsche, they weren't so fancy that I was tip toeing around pot holes, speed bumps and curbs. I would imagine exotics are PITAs to drive around locally because of that.
