Thanks mate

Yeah...i was actually all set to buy a WRX, but found that it's limits were a lot higher than the MX-5 (Miata in US and Japan). I thought i'd lose my licence within a week....thus i bought the MX-5 and have had lots of fun and only copped one speeding fine (overtaking an unmarked cop car at 140km/hr!!!). But now its time to upgrade, and i'm a bit older and wiser now (i only speed in certain areas where i know i can out-run them before they get a chance to turn around!!!)

What did you think of the breaks in the MX-5 compared to the boxster? Its a light car....but they have always felt a bit underdone for my liking.

Another reason i want to move to the boxster is that I'm 6'3" and find it very tight in the MX-5. I think i am the tallest that would be able to drive in it.

Thanks Again
John
