I owned a Miata. I was going to keep it just to use for autocross racing and track days and would use the Boxster for year round driving. But rather than making garage space for it I sold the Miata. HUGE mistake. That is by far the best car you can buy for practical racing purposes, it's a fixture at any track or autocross event. Cost of maintenace is nothing, engine is bullet proof, you can upgrade the exhaust and suspension and tune it precisely how you would like (which any decent mechanic can do unlike a Porsche), slap on r-comp tires and still not come anywhere close to spending what you would with a Boxster. And to be quiet honest on the open road the Miata is much more fun drive. It's more like a go kart whereas the Boxster feels more like a regular sized car and the gear box doesn't really lend itself to frequent shifting like the Miata's. I consider the Mini Cooper to be more fun to drive than the Porsche as well.
