The MX-5 Miata is well-established as the default small sports car, shares most components with the 124 Spider, and features a more powerful engine with slightly better driving dynamics.

The Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 don’t come in convertible form but offer rear-wheel-drive fun and a torquey flat-4 for a similar price to the Fiat.
