True, but nothing wrong with that.

I have an 07 Miata and an 05 Boxster. I decided to keep them both just in case one is in the shop.

I have to agree with most here. The boxster is definitely the better car (ride, power, interior, and exterior), but IMO that's the way it should be when you consider the difference in cost.

Where the Miata shines is in its maintenance. Both cars are reliable, but the Miata is soooooooooooooooo much easier to work on. That and my wife enjoys borrowing the Miata more, so it keeps her hands off my favorite toy.

I'll likely get a new RF Miata in a year or two, but I'll do what it takes to keep my current box alive until I'm not. I prefer the 987 body and interior of this version more than any other (I'm just not a button fan when it comes to sports cars, and the newer models' center consoles are just too cluttered for my tastes). I'll just keep restoring/repairing this one as needed and, thanks to this and other sites, I've had a blast learning how to do some of the maintenance myself.
