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. :-)

I agree. That's another reason why I drive the SUV. I've logged less
than 100 miles in the current Z4 in two years and that was out of
necessity.
