You wouldn't fit well in any of them. They are all very small cars.
I'm 6'4" and avoid driving that car whenever possible. It's not only
small inside, it's LOW.
****. Here I thought the BMW's might have a lot more leg room than the Boxster or
Miata. So far, that Karman Ghia I had in Germany wins in the leg room contest. Even
my wife's Jetta has a lot of leg room, although it is low also. I used to be 6'4",
but now have to stretch to get to 6'3".
I am a midget at 6'2 but I am OK in my Honda Prelude.


Years ago we leased a Honda Del Sol and I fit in that car fine - plenty
of legroom. I still preferred the Jeep Grand Cherokee we had at the time.


When I saw the mention of Honda, I checked some S 2000 prices. Holy ****, those damn
things are expensive! And they probably don't have any room either.


New anything is expensive. I got my Prelude used for 14k, 14 years ago
and I think I have my money's worth out of it. I am not sure why I
would get rid of it. I used to be hung up on flashy cars but now I
realize it is just a piece of metal that gets me from here to there.
It is not a measure of my self worth. I am far more interested in low
maintenance than high prestige. That is why I would never own a BMW.
