    6' in an NA feels just fine after removing sun visors. My experience with NB's is restricted to '99 models and I have felt a little cramped laterally, but nothing I can't live with. Welcome to MazdaRoadster.Net.

    I always wondered how a Del-Sol owner would feel after driving a miata.

    Remove visors and either cut foam from seat or aftermarket seat on the floor for us taller guys. Current civic owner, we can be friends too right?

    Did you have the si model? I test drove one a while back, not bad for all motor. Miatas are fun, specially with boost.

    Welcome!

    I'm 6'1 and have no issues just driving normally. I did have to cut some foam from the seat to get my helmet below the roll bar though.

    Congrats on ditching the del slow. Between the wrong wheel drive and the sketchy Honda crowd the Miata is a far superior car. Welcome to the Miata world!
