166horses in a 2 seater that grips so well isn't that bad. Combined with the adjustable suspension and already mentioned grip they aren't about power they are about a sweet drive.
The 3rd gens are slightly bigger but every effort has been made to keep the weight down so it weighs very little more than the 1st gen.
See if you can get a drive in a nice 3rd gen with the 5 or 6 speed manual and find somewhere nice and twisty to throw it through.
I like big power, had my share of Saab and Toyota turbos, but there is something very sweet about having enough power to be able to make use of a lot of it, and a chassis that just works.
