Yeah i totally agree. It is great advice. However, its not like a boxster is THAT much faster than an NB miata. Sure 60 hp sounds like a lot, but it still has over 400 lbs on one too. I agree on everything financially, but I have a hard time backing away because of a general bias of my age. I know parts are more and it's "too much to handle" supposedly, but parts at cost are only slightly more than miata parts, and they are just better made cars.
Honestly, when you get in a miata and drive it around for any length of time, it feels cheap, its still fun to drive and you feel completely at one with the car, but it does feel cheap. Probably because they are.... You can go buy a brand new one, full of options, with a retractable hard top, for just over $30,000... Case and point, they are cheap lol
