I had a chance to drive one at the Mazda Rev-It-Up event. I'm 6'4 and I could hardly fit in there. Depressing the gas meant hitting the brake at the same time. Pretty cool car, but I think it is meant for those 6-foot and under.

honestly epi what price is a mazdaspeed miata?
for my money, if i had to buy a reasonably priced sports car, id only buy an STi. Its practical, its fast, lots of room inside, big trunk, its fast.
otherwise id price out a new GTO. absolutely awesome for the money.

If you're worried about what people will "think" about you from the car you drive, you don't need to buy a car. 
Buy a car because you love to drive it and it fits the needs you have... f everyone else.

Anyways, EPI, the Miata is a great car. At 6'2" it was a squeeze to get in at times but not overly uncomfortable. My main gripe about the car is that with the top up the blind spots are simply ridiculous. Rush hour driving in the Miata was definately not made any more enjoyable by the fact I couldn't see shit to the sides of me. As for the gay aura surrounding the car, fuck it. It never crossed my mind while I was driving it and I doubt it crossed anyone elses. It's neither a cop magnet nor a cock magnet. It's simply a fun car to scoot around town in.

The Sti and Miata aren't even close in price....... I'm sure he has a budget just like everyone else.........You could buy an Aveo and a Miata for the price of a Sti
