I would vote no for several reasons.

1. Like you said, its low and could go under a large truck/SUV.

2. The rear visibility/blind spot visibility is pretty poor with the top up. I think this is the biggest issue, especially during "spirited" driving. The Boxster is our third "fun" car, so I can just drive it when the weather is nice and the top can come down if needed.

3. Not safety related - The storage kind of sucks, especially if this is your only car. I mean, I have to put my golf clubs in the passenger seat!

4. Not safety related - Repair costs are high unless you do it yourself.

For a fun slightly more practical car, I would probably go with a BMW 3 series of some sort. That was my first "driver's car." It was great and plenty fast enough to get in to trouble on occasion.
