I've owned two "NA" Miatas (Miatae?)and my Boxster. The NA is the original with the pop up headlights. I drove my Miatas and drive my Boxster frequently including commuting to work. The Boxster is a better quality car and I think it will be much safer if someone runs into you than an NA or NB Miata. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad drivers out there.

I had to change the clutch in my 2000 Boxster with the 2.7 engine. It has a dual row IMS, so I decided to delay changing the bearing until I need another clutch. The build date on mine was 9/11/1999, so Porsche may have had some remaining dual row bearings when my car was built.
