I have not yet been able to test drive the 986 Boxster as I've yet to find a good local candidate. While I continue my search I figure it'd be great if I could get some feedback from the community.

I have however recently taken a BRZ out for a drive and loved it. Mainly what I'm after is a car with great communication. A go-kart like feel to it. I love the fact that you can feel the suspension working and the tires underneath you in the BRZ. The steering isn't bad either for an electric rack. Badges and power is a non-factor for me.

I worry in the Boxster that some of this communication is muted to some degree in the name of luxury. Is this the case?

However, if the Boxster can offer the same feel it might be the better buy as I would be able to grab one without a loan. I'd need a small loan for the BRZ or 2016 Miata. Anyone with experience in all three?

thanks.
