.....The Elise was high on my list.

But.

I've been driving a Miata for the past 25 years and the Elise was even more hard core than that fine machine.

I LOVE them, but I needed a sports car that was just slightly more of a GT car for cross-country vacation driving and the Elise would not work for THAT application.

The Boxster is THE perfect compromise sports car for me that is a "pure" mid-engined two seat convertible, yet is JUST big and cushy enough for my spouse and I to drive from coast-to-coast in.

S2000's are nice, too.
