Funny fact: The stock ND2 miata is faster 0-60 than a stock S2000 while also "feeling" faster due to less weight and lower center of gravity. So if anyone says the ND2 is slow, its just "herd mentality" at this point and its cool to say miata's are slow. Bonus fact: you cant say that the higher redline makes a grand difference when, back then, it was believed that higher RPM was necessary to stretch your gearing out further and to maximise power, and in turn, speed... but now a greater understanding in peak engine efficiency, power-to-weight ratios and proper gearing allows cars with lower max RPMs to accelerate faster by stretching your power along a wider rpm range allowing for more power across a wider range of RPMs(such as EXACTLY where your RPMs are going to be between each shift) rather than only ever getting into your peak power for a short time between shifts. Which is what the S2k suffered from in the AP1 and was somewhat fixed in the AP2. But 9k rpms in the now-inferior AP1 does have coolness factor that even I myself still want 😂 But I'd still take the ND2 without a second thought. Lighter, stiffer chassis, faster, kinmatic posture control, more road feedback, and a greater torque-to-weight ratio, cheaper to buy, cheaper to maintain, cheap and abundant mods. Its a landslide win for the ND2.

Just get appropriate pads and fluid the the type of driving you plan to do. Suspension is good, though. Spend as much as you can afford on the dampers. Cheap coilovers can get you pretty good performance on the track, but kill you on the street. Getting the balance of ride and handling is where the money is.

Only bad thing about these cars is if you are over 6 foot, you probably aren't driving one on a track with a helmet on because you'll be too tall (depending on torso length). This is why for a track build, probably a modded BRZ is a better platform - stiffer, its got a roof, taller, you can add bhp but physically making a car larger is hard to do. There's things you can do to make yourself fit... but yeah, a bigger car is a bigger car. For road use? Mx-5 is always the answer. And top down motoring is more fun.

The real reason it doesn't have those things in a more conventional way is space. Adding a glovebox means there's no space for the passenger's knees, because the dash of the Miata is very low and the inside is already occupied with HVAC and other mechanicals. Cup holders can't really go in a conventional location because the transmission tunnel is right there, and there's no space for a cup between the trans and the driver's elbow. If you want a Miata with a bit more space and storage, consider the NC (2006-2015) generation. That has a glovebox, 4 cup holders, rear cubby, more head-room and leg-room than the current generation. It's ~150lbs heavier for it, which is why Miata people call it "the boat." But it's a lovely car, super underrated, and much easier to live with than any of the other generations. It's also a seriously good platform to go racing.
