For advice on grassroots motorsport you may be interested in checking out the Grassroots Motorsports Forum - https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/ The most likely response that you'll get there is that an NA Miata is the answer. People there can give you lots of good advice about getting into motorsports in general.

Most of what has been said here is valid and great advice, but we don't know anything about You. There have been a few teenagers here on the forum that got a lot out of owning a 986. Two that are worth reviewing are Jake (BIGJake111) and Rob (cornontherob).

Here you can see the threads that they started:

Personally, I would not hesitate to give one of my grandkids a 986/987 Boxster if I felt they had an aptitude for cars. I gave my youngest daughter a '99 986 after she totaled our Volvo, then drove a (penalty) Geo Metro for nearly a year.
