Is the ND a lot tighter or something? I just couldn't feel comfortable in that car at all. Had to sit bolt upright to get enough legroom, which put the windshield in my forehead. I have yet to sit in the driver's seat of an earlier one, but I've been a passenger in NAs and NBs.

The MR2 is really, really fun though. Just need more leg room.

I fit okay in a Miata. S2000 is close.

Myles and I in an Exige was hilarious but we both fit.

Which generation Miata is this that you fit in?

My MR2 felt roomy in stock seats but I had the seat bottom pretty flat, which gave me a lot of clearance to the steering wheel. I felt like I could lean the seat back quite a lot and still slide it backwards far enough.

My bucket seats had no sliders, rear at the lowest hole in the bracket, front at the second highest hole, which allowed my legs to just clear the steering wheel, and it was very comfortable. My 6'2" friend felt like it was comfortable to drive as well.

I take it the Exige has quite a bit more legroom? I am rather fond of the Elise, but I'm not sure if the money would be better spent on a luxury GT, because anyone can strip out a cheap car to make it less comfortable LOL.
