For non-exotics, you really can't beat the handling of a Lotus Elise/Extige.

I love my S2k and couldn't be happier with the car I chose, but I know its weaknesses and drawbacks, every car has them. Yeah, I'll get smoked in a race with an anything but stock EVO/STi/DSM/etc., but when you look at its direct competitors: Miata, Solstice/Sky, Boxster, Z3/4, 350Z, its a very competitive car. Hell, it just beat out the new Z4M (and every other roadster) in the Autoweek "Which roadster do you want to drive?" online poll by a huge margin. I hate comparing EVO's and S2k's, besides for aprox. price range, they are totally different in every way. I have a lot of respect for the EVO and would love to also own one sooner or later as a DD car.
