in this corner we have the 2001 mazda
miata with a whopping 142 horsepower in
this corner we have a 2005 porsche
boxster with 240 horsepower stick around
to find out which is the best roadster
for under ten thousand dollars welcome
back to RevMatch this is your first
time here I do car reviews and how to so
hit that subscribe button to hit that
little bell this 2001 Miata cost the
owner about seven thousand dollars and
you might be thinking that's a lot for
2001 and it is but this car is flying me
out of coilovers it's got a roll bar and
it's got a hardtop as well this car was
originally about twenty one thousand
dollars new in addition to the purchase
price of about seven thousand dollars
this car is about fourteen hundred
dollars worth of work into it including
a new clutch a new flywheel so we're
going to call this car eighty four
hundred dollars worth of car this 2005
porsche boxster was purchased for about
seven eight hundred dollars now the
transmission was broken so immediately
the owner put in a brand new
transmission with some labor and so that
brings the car up to about nine thousand
dollars when this car was brand new it
was forty five thousand dollars it goes
without saying that these are very
different cars mazda has always stuck
with a really simple formula which is a
lightweight car good handling and
front-engine rear-drive very affordable
but what makes it similar to the Porsche
this is the car that saved Porsche early
in the 90s around 1993 Porsche was only
selling 14,000 cars globally they were
selling 3,000 in the US Porsche actually
looked to me oughtta they look to mazda
for inspiration on a low priced car that
was affordable and of course this is not
the first but really the most successful
mass-produced mid-engine car let's check
out the motor in this parsha enough talk
let's go for a drive I mean the 2005
porsche boxster one of my overall
impressive
it feels very very planted
the brakes are really really good pretty
typical portion of breaks the
predominant character of this car is
it's just planted when it's on roads
like this so to sum it up this is a
great bargain sports car for under ten
thousand dollars this is phenomenal now
we're in the miata first impression no
power at all no power at all you really
gotta have your foot kinda thing this
card is a little bit more nervous in the
Porsche the steering is good the gearbox
is really good in this car really does
have a lot of grip because it's so light
but you've got to be more on top of this
card overall for under ten thousand
dollars this is a great car but it's not
the bargain that the Porsche is I've
given both cars and the owners have
driven to each other's cars too so let's
talk to them and get their thoughts so
you've just driven the miata in a really
windy section and what are your overall
impressions with the car the handling is
great the gearbox is fantastic little
down on power there's tons of grip it's
a very lightweight very balanced you
chuck it in a little too hard it's going
to get loose if you hit a bump mid
corner it's gonna throw you out any
negative the engine I like the brakes in
the Boxster better they'll stop you a
little faster than these will overall
compared to your car which is a Boxster
on a tight winding section like this
what's your overall impression it's
still fun I still prefer the box there i
mean it's got more power it's definitely
a more solid car you can feel the weight
difference is just more weight in the
steering there's more feels more serious
this you can really get it to rotate
quickly if you you know if you chuck it
and lift it'll really kind of start to
rotate really quickly overall compared
to the miata on a road like this what do
you prefer I don't know that I prefer
one over the other I know that when I
got in the Boxster I can felt more
relaxed I felt more like I'm in a car
driving along whereas I know and me out
on roads like this I'm always on edge
like a little more clenched to
everywhere I'd go driving miata so it's
you know it's a different experience and
this definitely is
faster not saying otherwise unsecured
tires and it's got a lot more engine I
don't want to look short I'm going to
stand in the dish let's talk about
operating costs obviously this is the
big white elephant in the room obviously
the Porsche is a much more expensive car
to begin with let's talk about operating
costs day to day what are you getting at
terms of gas mileage 28 to that day
usually 30 but I do a lot of freeway
driving so well I do more mix driving I
do a lot of canyons in the car I average
about 23 now let's talk about
maintenance so does the regular
maintenance what do you spend on an oil
change is about a hundred bucks if I do
it myself it's not too bad 26 26 my last
set of tires was about 8 90 I think so
it set for the miata I'm like looking
right now is about 300 what about
unexpected stuff you had any of that yet
yes this is a one hundred dollar piece
of string that Porsche sells it keeps
tension on your soft top that's really
nice piece of string I got to admit what
are some of the things that you don't
like about your own cars I don't like
how difficult it is to work on my car I
have no access to my own motor oh I hate
the seats god I hate to see any oh
that's not good they're awful driving
each other's cars for under 10,000 bucks
on a road like this what do you guys
think so this is the big under 10,000
things that I'm going to bring up here
that Porsche is definitely not a
ten-thousand-dollar car it was extremely
well purchased with a broken
transmission realistically to get that
car it's going to be 12 to 15 depending
on condition so which car is the winner
for me it's got to be the Porsche the
Miata is a really nice car but it just
doesn't have the power yeah it's light
and handles really well but it's kind of
nervous and skitterish on the bumps on
these tight bends here the Porsche just
feels planted is still solid it's got a
fantastic sounding motor yes the shifter
isn't as good but overall it's just a
more enjoyable car to drive it's a
little bit more relaxed it's really
really designed for roads like this so
for this particular review I'm giving
the Porsche thumbs up if you want to
down there else down there or you can
stand there and I'm going to stand up
here seeing 13 take better
