I'm 6'1" and I'm reminded of that fact every time I squeeze into my ND Club - but once I get rolling out of my driveway, squeeze turns to snug, and then it's all smiles for miles.
One thing to note on the NDs as a current ND owner, the passenger footwell has considerably less legroom than the driver side due to the transmission bell housing eating up 30% of the footwell so if you're taller than 6'1" but find the passenger side cramped, just remember that the driver side has a lot more leg room. That being said, the ND is unironically the car that would most benefit from a flat bottom steering wheel since, if you like having the wheel angled somewhat low, your left thigh whille be hitting the bottom of the wheel every time you get off the clutch. Funny how so many 7000 pound "sport" suvs and hatchbacks get huge chunky fat bottom steering wheels yet the small 2300 pound 2 seat roadster doesnt. Other than that ergonomic gripe, the ND is surprisingly comfortable and snug.
For everybody stating their height and how they can’t fit, no one has the same proportions . I’m 5’10 with the legs of someone who is 6’4, sit in something to see if your fit
@@davidmoody2797 ...I lowered the seat 1 1/2" with Paco seat rails and perfect fit, they also put the seat back to give legs more room horizontally. My inseam is 34" . The only thing I like driving more is my mountain bike 😎✌🏼
Yeah it’s crazy how different body types are affected because I’m 6 foot four exactly no rounding up and my head is touching on the top of the roof and my knees are up against the dashboard still considering buying one though because I never do long drives and I drive down a lot of nice back roads for work
I’m just shy of 6 feet and had no problems driving one for a few months. A little tight, sure, but more like a glove than a corset. My 6’2” friend did not have a good time if the top was up, though.
I am 5’11’’, I fit my ND2 fine but only have less than a inch for headroom with seat push to the furthest back. And you are 6’4’’, that seems kind of too tall for the car with top up. Although for me the leg room is good, but If I want to do heel-toe my knee is kind of bumping into the console, so I have to improvise to a Toe-Toe for comfy transition😅 Overall very happy with the car.
You can get kits that lower the seats and get a little more head and leg room. I’m 6’1” and drive an ND and my only issue is that I need to open the door really wide to get in and out.
There isn't. I'm 6'0 and with the chair pushed all the way back and lowered my head is still touching the ceiling. Makes it very uncomfortable when turning my head. Real bummer.
That is so untrue.. unsubscribing for false statement. I’m 6’2”, and it is so so cramped, i couldn’t stretch my legs to feel relaxed in a driving position.
2019+ model has a bit more space. Also the Recaro upgrade seats are tighter. I didn't fit right in them. Had to grab the standard seats. Helmet on at the track is pretty difficult. I have to scooch down in the seat and find the spot between the 2 convertible top bars to fit my head lol. I bought seat lowering kit to fix the issue.
Small correction. With the top down the headroom is first limited by overhangs and overpasses which can have a clearance of between 11ft to 15ft. Second headroom limitation would be roughly the 12,000ft to 15,000ft range where breathing would be impacted. With supplemental oxygen a theoretical headroom of 35,000ft is feasible. It would take a pressurized suit and radiation shielding to reach a practical infinite headroom.
5’10” I had to put custom seat rails in my old NA to be able to fit inside with a racing helmet on for track use haha newer models are a lot more roomier. This guy said he’s 6’4” that’s what someone my height looked like the original miata. I honestly might get another at some point, it’s hard to choose because the miata is one of the few cars where I love every generation of it.
I like all the comments from people accidentally saying they are too chunky to fit in this car. Dude is fit and being fit makes a lot of things way easier.
6'3 and my two friends have brand new miatas, they let me drive them :) its like a glove, you are restricted but have room, shifting is easy and its comfortable. made me buy a NB miata haha
I went into the dealership iim 6'2 I have long legs and getting in and out was the problem. Feet kept scratching the door when exiting. Take a test drive before buying
I’m 5ft 11 and I touch the roof in the RF in any seat position if my head is resting against the head rear rest. The soft top is slightly better by an inch assuming no sag.
I'm 6'0" and fit just fine in my 2019, in fact the seat is not quite all the way back but the seatback is upright. I always get in butt-first, then swing legs in or out, so I don't whack the header with my face.
Im 6’4 SUPER LONG LEGS short torso I love the look of miatas always have since cars the movie, I want to buy an older Miata for my first car I just turned 18
I am kind of fat. No point calling it anything else. That is the issue with the Mazda for me. It is a bit snug around my middle. But what car. Drives amazing.
That is why there are Lincoln town cars, F350 trucks, Arcadias etc so you can be comfortable. And it frees you from driving a 6 speed transmission. Big is beautiful . So buy your tank today!
The tall guy in the vid is super flexible with long legs and a normal-height upper body. I’m average sized at 5’10” and 160 lb. Still, my ND2 is a snug fit. It was designed that way. Like a fighter plane, the Miata has a rounded and enveloping “fuseslage” cockpit where all controls are readily at hand and the body is supported to retain control under high-G lateral forces. One size does NOT fit all. My guess is, 6’1” and 180 lb is the car’s upper limit. Above that and your eyes are level with the windshield surround, which is not good. Kits are available to lower Miata’s seats, giving another 1-2” vertically. American fighter pilots, and astronauts, are ideally around 5’ 7”. Which is why Tom Cruise fits perfectly into his P51 Mustang fighter.
Next question. Can I pass the broomstick test with a helmet for SCCA events at 6'3"? I know the answer is no, then which aftermarket rollbar will do the trick?
I owned a 2016 MX-5 and the model hasn’t really changed all that much except a slight 25+ hp difference which really doesn’t make so much of a difference considering that the interior still looks the same and drives the same and same shifter from this generation.
It’s cramped. After an hour. It’s time to get out. Sold my 2020 BBR Club. 5’11”. 220lbs. My 130 lb Asian girlfriend loves it. Hoping the new Z is a convertible model. Twice the horsepower and wayyyyy more torque. Plus bigger seats
I'm so confused by these content creators saying it's plenty roomy. I'm 5'10" and sitting up completely straight had my head touching. Sitting in a relaxed manner still had my hair touching. Going on a test drive was an eye opener to how small the interior actually is.

Agree. We, the people with Ostrich’s legs should try to test drive it before
Seat lowering rails give a chance for someone slightly above 6 foot to still fit.
Tru. Im 6’3 with inseam of somebody 5’11 and am eyeing this car
Have a '94 R, at 6'1.5" I get in and out just fine. Don't put a leg in first. Sit down then swing both legs in. Get out in reverse order.

This how I get out of all cars it's more comfortable lmao

Seat lowering rails may allow you to fit, notice that the change is irreversible, so your mileage may vary.
I dailied mines for about 1 year I'm 6ft I was very comfortable.
I am 6"2" and it was so tight, I needed help getting out of the car at the dealership. I won't be getting back into one anytime again.

I think it also depends if you’re more legs or torso. I’m more torso than legs. This guy looks more legs so which is probably why he fits just fine.
Im 5'11 so not tall enough where people point it out, but just tall enough where most things are comfortable enough for me.
