Ok, sorry but I didn't realize that you were only 17. In that case, the Miata is definitey the better choice. You are exactly the same age as my son and that is why I bought the Miata (for him).
You need to learn to drive before you need to go fast and the Miata will teach you to drive well and it won't get you into situations where your inexperience will cost you a lot of money. The Miata is super cheap compared to a Boxster to purchase, maintain, run, and repair after you crash it (which you are sure to do at your age regardless of what car you have).
And don't get me wrong - we ALL crashed a car in our teens! Heck, that would be a long thread, having everyone post up what car they crashed as a teen! Its part of growing up - you find the limit, exceed it, and learn that going over the limit doesn't always work out like in the movies.
My advice is to buy a nice NB or early NC Miata and use the extra money that you would have spent on the Boxter for upgrades, driving schools, and track time. Then, re-eval in a few years.
