Can't fit in and don't care for miatas..
Fair play, my memory has me thinking the civic I drove (and miata) were just as 'tight' and 'crisp' as the 86 but with -900 and -300 pounds respectively and it was noticeable.

You're missing out with the miata, how tall are you? 6' 4" seems to be the limit in my experience.
