The MX5 was universally praised by the motoring press for its nimble handling when it was released, so I'm not sure why you think it "handles like shit".

As for the weight thing, soft-top cars are generally heavier than their hard-top counterparts because the chassis needs heaps of strengthening to compensate for the missing roof, which is an important structural member. Getting any sort of torsional rigidity out of a convertible is a difficult job, and it generally involves thick steel beams under the floorpan (ie heavy).
