We have the Ford GT70, Honda Z600 autocross special, Ford GT, Ecotec-powered Elise, and both early and middle Toyota MR2s.
So, for the audience: Favorite mid-engine cars?
In reply to David S. Wallens :
986 Boxster, hands down. Still enamored with mine.
Favorite mid engine car car 2000-2005 NSX.
Current favorite, that I have in garage, because I can't afford NSX - 94/95 MR2 Turbo and my Lotus Elise.
I have a 986 S at the moment, and have owned all flavors of MR2s, but my favorite hands down was my much modified '74 X1/9.
Toyota MR-S. Such a delightful little car to drive. Stock for stock, I much prefer this over a Miata.
Fiero. But its also the only mid engine car ive ever driven.
NSX. Or if I'm dreaming, a Consulier. Or maybe a $2000 challenge Lotus Europa.
SHOgun
First generation Clio V6 is second
What, no love for the Previa? :)
#1 Elise
#2 Dino
#3 Miura
Crap, this list may be backwards. There are many more. MR2 (any) ,X1/9,550 speedster, Boxster, 914, blah blah, blah. can't go wrong. I'd take a Fiero.
The only I've driven were a Boxter and an Elise and both were quite nice.
I'll at least put up the mid-engine car currently in my garage, even if it's only three cylinders.
It's a long reach to change the spark plugs, that's for sure!
I haven't driven most of the cars listed, but I loved the V6 2nd gen MR2 I drove, and I love the Cayman.

My 1986 Toyota Van LE, 4wd 5MT is much better than the previas ;)
dual sunroof, ice box, supra wheels - way better than ugly egg shaped previa
A 987 cayman is on my short list, but for now, the $1500 spyder kart is pretty fun!
Cayman S for sure. Most fun I've had behind the wheel of any car of the street.

I don’t know much about the Lotus Evora, but there’s a blue one I see driving around sometimes and the exhaust sounds amaaaaazing.
Also, there is a distinct lack of 80s rally cars in this thread.
The X-15 style windscreen on the Mosler Raptor is absolutely fantastic . Second choice is a Renault R5 Turbo
X1/9, stratos, scorpion/monte carlo, 037...
Hmmm... A theme?
Oh, Merak and 308 GT4
In reply to BlueInGreen - Jon (Forum Supporter) :
The RS200 should have come up a lot sooner. 
My first choice if I could afford it. If only my X1/9 could grow up! I spent quite a few miles in the car pictured, it was tame and tractable, but absurdly capable when desired.
