You wouldn't fit well in any of them. They are all very small

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.

That car was discontinued over 5 years ago. I thought it was a nice
looking roadster!
Me too. But the prices for the damn thing are unreal. I'm thinking a
15 year old
Honda should be in the $3-5K range, if it's in good shape. These
things go for five
times that - much more than Z3's.

The Z3 was not a home run for BMW. I'm still surprised the S2000, or a
replacement, isn't on the market.
The Z3 and the Z4 are regarded as "girly" cars in some circles.
My wife had a Z4. I had a Porsche. :-)
As pure driver's cars, BMW went downhill after the corporation decided
it wanted to offer luxury alternatives to Mercedes. The best pure
driving machines it offered were the 2002ti and one of the "5" series,
maybe the early 535s. After that, the company got into "plush."
