Miatas are really fun to drive, almost as good as a Boxster, but unless you do some mods (turbo, or an engine transplant), they aren't as fast as a Boxster. They are also more fun on the street. I think the Boxster is kind of ho hum for street driving, while the Miata is much less refined so you get a lot more sensory feedback that makes it more fun. But that same feedback can get tiresome on a trip. Miatas are also pretty bulletproof, so you won't have to worry about lunching your engine.
The great thing about a Boxster is they are mid-engine design, which makes them ideal on the track. Depending on your budget, I think that an awesome track car that is still street legal would be a Lotus Elise (Toyota engine, very reliable). I was at a track day where an Elise showed up, and it was blindingly quick. Quick not only in the turns, but down the straights as well, because of the power-to-weight ratio.
