Question: are miatas good drift cars?
Answer: The AE86 drifts better (DUH), but the MX5 has a nice handling/balance, which is good to learn drifting. I drove it on a slippery surface and dry road and I liked the way how easy it was to control. Nothing snappy. With some tuning and/or a lot of driving/drifting practice, you will have so much fun with an MX5.
