It's 8/10s a Boxster for 1/3-1/2 the price. AND it's better looking IMHO.

I want one. It's too much of an icon for me not to, although I suspect I'd enjoy the S2k more.

S2K is a very sweet car too, but I don't want a car I have to rev to 8000rpms to find power plus I just like the proportions of the MX5 better.

Check out the options in the PDFs at this page, especially the accessories and Mazdaspeed accessories available - it's GREAT!

inducing. Not good for daily driving, but good for rejuvenating spirits on the weekends.

Anywho, I'd have to test drive them back to back. And like I said, the Miata (in soft-top roadster form) is an icon. In the end, I wouldn't kick either one out of my garage, that's for certain.
