I am seriously thinking about selling my 2003 Miata (1.8L, 6-spd, new suspension, runs great) and buying a Porsche 944. I already own a 996 and a Spec Boxster.

The Miata is fun, reliable, and cheap to maintain/repair but it is also fairly small, underpowered, and I'm kind of bored with it. I'm thinking that a 944 might offer a bigger interior, better performance, and be fun to own.

Cost isn't an issue - I am well aware that maintaining a 944 will be MUCH more expensive than a Miata and can live with that.

The 944 would be used as a daily driver and will see a few DE track days per year (just for fun).

Anyone have experience with 944 ownership?
