Thanks for the late welcome.

Been driving the Boxster for a few days then drove the old reliable 92 Miata the other day and I thought the breaks weren't working!

The Boxster is a very solid tight feeling car with lots of power and amazingly sensitive breaks but good. It does feel heaver than my old Miata by a fair bit, it's about 700lbs more but the power more than makes up for that. Miata's have nice running gear but the Boxster is more refined. It's got a 5 speed, not sure I'll ever be able to love and electric shifter.

I'd have to say there's a lot of insulation from the road. In the Miata I can literally feel the tar filling the expansion gaps in the road. Which after a while is kind of tiresome. However the Boxster is just as easy to place exactly where you want on the road, may be more so.

This will be a good love affair. Glad cars don't actually have feelings.
