I'm 5'8 (see my picture on TF) and I sat in one and I was a little above the windshield, unless I did the gangster lean.

I'm 6' and 185lbs and drive one everyday, but I always say if I was any taller or bigger, then the car would be uncomfortable for me.

its all in how you adjust the seat really, just takes some getting used to and you would find a spot that you fit in perfectly

I'm 6'3" 175 lbs and I fit into one, but the top was down, I had the seat all the way back and tilted back a bit, and it was still a bit cramped. I think it would work for a weekend car but I don't think I could drive it any distance comfortably.

Flyin' Miata made 265 rwhp after replacing injectors, ECU, intake, dp, exhaust, IC, and compressor wheel. I made 170 rwhp and 170 rwtq with a dp, cone filter, and MBC.








I added a Moss protective grill to make the "bucktooth" IC less obvious.
