Edit: There's even a handful of 987 S's cheaper than S2000's near me, that's 280+ hp on tap. Not to mention many 986 S models which match the S2000's output but with the engine in the middle of the car... If you can DIY I think Porsche is the way to go at this point for a non-Miata performance ragtop under $20k. While the Honda may have the edge in recurring maintenance costs I think I'd take my chances with a well maintained boxster over a Honda that's been thrashed as they so often are at reasonable prices.
