When your sports car options are the Mazda MX-5 Miata and the Porsche Boxster, driving in style has never looked so good. Either vehicle will make other drivers around Metairie, Harvey, and New Orleans, Louisiana, green with envy, but there are some differences you’ll want to consider.
To help you determine if the Mazda or the Porsche is more in tune with your driving needs, the team at Paretti Mazda presents this Mazda MX-5 Miata vs. Porsche Boxster comparison.
The brilliance of a sports car, like the Mazda MX-5 or the Porsche Boxster, comes from the outside, where it shines brighter than ever with a beautifully designed, sporty body and a fold-down roof to turn the vehicle into a convertible.
Speaking of shining, the Mazda and the Porsche both come equipped with bright LED headlights and taillights. But the Mazda has the advantage when you factor in the auto on/off headlight feature and High Beam Control, which the Porsche doesn’t have.
Driving a sports car affords you the ability to weave in and out of traffic seamlessly, partly due to its compact size. This is an advantage the Mazda has over the Porsche since it’s 154.1 inches in length, 68.3 inches in width, and 48.8 inches in height. By comparison, the Porsche is 172.4 inches in length, 70.9 inches in width, and 50.4 inches in height.
That means, the Mazda may be easier to maneuver due to its smaller size.
On a nice, cool day, you love to roll down the top, enjoy the breeze, and blast your favorite songs without a care in the world. The Mazda and the Porsche both offer easy ways to do this thanks to wireless Bluetooth® connectivity functions as well as wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
You don’t even have to worry about looking down at the infotainment screen because you can control everything with your voice. While you can adjust the volume of your music with your voice, the Mazda also comes equipped with speed-sensitive volume controls that will either increase or decrease the volume depending on how fast you’re driving.
The Mazda is also outfitted with an SMS text message audio delivery and reply feature, so you’ll never have to look at your phone to send or receive a message.
You’d be hard-pressed to find two better sports cars than the Mazda MX-5 and the Porsche Boxster, but when you get into the finer details, you’ll see the Mazda MX-5 is the superior car, especially when you consider its exterior features, safety, and infotainment.
