Which year? They have changed a lot. It's the wife's car, anyway. I
wanted her to get the SL550. It's larger and safer, IMO.

I don't know which year. Did the Z3 undergo significant design changes during its production? I'll admit that I'd take the SL550, or even the SL400 if offered.

I was referring to the Z4. It was a rag top and now a retractable
hardtop (interesting engineering!).

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.

My new Tacoma has loads of leg room and in fact, I have to pull the seat
forward so that I can totally engage the clutch. The door opening,
though, seems tight to me in the vertical dimension and I have to fold
myself in half, as it were, to get inside. Getting out is easy,
though...it's a long way to the ground once you swing your legs out.

Good thing you don't have a Silverado 2500. You'd need a parachute and an escalator.

I test-sat in a Crosstour. Lots of room. If they'd sold it with a manual tranny I
might have bought it.

I don't know why car manufactures don't always provide plenty of leg room. I'd have a
Miata in a heartbeat, if it had leg room. The car gets rave reviews, except for tall
folks. The same is true of the Cayman - beautiful little car, probably maxi-fun to
drive, but about three inches too little leg room. These manufacturers are cutting
out some sure sales by skimping on the leg room.

At the auto show, I sat in more than one crossover SUV that didn't
have enough legroom in the driver's seat, and I'm only 5'10"

That is because you have an older car. When we looked at the Camry for the
wife, the roof line curves in so much wife at 5'9" has the headliner
hitting her hair. The older units had better headroom.

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.
