Buy whatever you want and can afford.

A solid Boxster costs $10K + $2K per year for maintenance/repairs. Over 5 yrs, that's $20K. If you can afford that, you should be fine.

Through their teenage and college years my two son's have owned various cars; JCW Mini Cooper S, Miata NB, BMW E46, BMW X5, Porsche 944 Turbo, and a BMW E36 M3. There's nothing wrong with driving a car that you like.
