I had a very limited run with a Miata back in the spring. It was better than I'd hoped...wonderful handling and a classic FR layout feel. In some ways I thought it was more fun than the Boxster, in a sense that the limits are quite lower so you can explore them more on public roads. The Boxster feels kind of "serious" in comparision, more demanding, and much more competant at higher speeds.

I don't know what else to say. I honestly wouldn't mind one in my fleet for ice cream runs; for a long trip to the mountains, though, it is Boxster all the way!
