Is height an issue?
Discussion
Probably a very stupid question really. I'm considering looking for Mk2.5 (preferably in dark green) as they seem relatively cheap for the amount of fun that can be had. But I am 6 foot 2 tall and I know MX-5s are fairly small. Any tall owners here that can tell me I'm either wasting my time or shouldn't give it a thought?
Im 6"4 with very long legs, torso and broad shoulders and own a mk2. I have the seat all the way back and sat upright, I have a dished steering wheel. Headroom is not an issue at all and neither is cabin space, however if I didn't have a dished steering wheel I may suffer from banging my knees on the way in and out.
I'm 6'2" - long body shorter legs. I fit a Mk1 just fine. A Mk2.5 will have deeper/taller seats which rob a bit more cabin space than earlier models but I was still comfortable enough in mine with the seat most of the way back and reclined almost as far as it would go. Fine for a trip to Scotland from the South without my back & legs seizing up.

Great, cheers. Time to go back to studying the buying guides then to find a good one to try out. Gassing Station | Mazda MX5/Roadster/Miata | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
