The new Miata: anyone considering trading their Boxster in for it?

[Richard G]

i had a 95 Miata silver i really liked it and was a lot of fun, parking is easy in it and the top down at night especially. i bought the miata because i figured i couldnt afford a Boxster the repairs on the Miata was very minimal for me i kept it for about 5 years possibly a little longer and sold it for about 2,500.00 less than what i bought it for. I bought it because it reminded me of my 356 Convertible D im slowly restoring well as time went by i looked into Boxsters and finally i gave in and bought one a 98 Boxster with 65,000 miles on it and its been a lot of fun big difference of course, the miata is a toy compared to a boxster but still fun. I only had my boxster about 5 months or so and some guy rear ends me totalled out the car but the insurance paid it off kept it and im putting 2,500.00 to fix the rear end hit, it will be a salvage but its mine and i love the way it handles!!....... i also had a few friends who had fun making fun of me driving a MIATA but that was towards the end when i sold it, i also felt so powerless in the miata.

I could go for a Miata if..... it was big enough to fit into and actually drive And if they'd loose that silly smiley face that ruined most of the Masdas for years.
