I've had 2 Miatas (91 and a 97), and one older 911 and still a 986 Boxster.
Miatas are fun zippy cars, but smaller and more connected driving experience , and the Boxster feels like a cushy touring car in comparison. Maintenance on Miata is cheap cheap cheap. I picked a used 1.6 L motor with 30k for $740!
Boxster is quicker on normal roads, more comfortable on longer trips, much more space, more $$ looking, and more impressive for date nights. The Miata was definitely more fun in town between stop lights, and zooming around San Francisco. I also was less paranoid about vandalism or dings.
It's really like comparing a Ford Mustang to a BMW M3 . Both cars are great and fast, but they are in a different social class and cost accordingly. Get what you can afford to buy and maintain.
