Because EPA mileage has little to do with actual mileage and is only a basis for comparing cars.
I had two NA Miatas over the years and loved them both. They are way less roomy than a boxster, no frunk at all and the trunk which is already much smaller also houses the spare.
Loved the simple top. When they came out with the NC I had no interest at all. Bloated the original car way too much and it was ugly IMO.
The original NA was designed to be an every day version of what the British never managed to pull off, so the plastic bits inside were deliberate and acceptable. No one can argue that the Miata was a huge success.
Personally I like the lines of the new one quite a bit.
They're all cool cars. Buy what makes you happy.
As for my man card, the boxster shares the same "reputation" as the Miata for demographics. I've come to the conclusion that gay men just have good taste in cars.
