I said this because I also own a Miata. I know firsthand that it is cheaper to purchase and cheaper to maintain and great fun to drive. But I also know that its not a Boxster; not on the street and not on the track. No Porsche snobbery, just my opinion from having owned and driven both cars extensively.
