i'd love to get something like a miata, but being 6'3", it's just not gonna happen... what else is out there? doesn't have to be a convertable. what sporty cars are good for tall people? preludes kinda look roomy...

Might look at an S2k. Z4 is quite nice as well. I'm about 6' and fit fine in these cars.

At 6', I found my Celica to be an easy fit, I'd like to try the 350z, but way out of my price range.

har-dee-har-har @ scion post...anyways i'd be getting a used miata, want to keep the price just under 20k or not much more, so s2k etc is out of the question

Just curious, have you tried sitting in a Miata before? What generation?

I think he is looking for a sports car not a sports coupe

Cavalier and "sports coupe" do not belong in the same universe.

no no it doesn't, although the z24 is decently sporty, 150 hp? Meh, not horrible for such a tiny car.

I would never ever get caught in a beetle, and someone over 6 foot wouldn't either...Those are Definitely NOT manly cars, or cars with any guts.
