Miata Mailing List: December 1999, Message #86

    I'm not sure what the average heighth of the miata owner is, but I'm 5'9" 
and I fit into my little car just perfect.  I don't think I've ever driven a 
more comfortable car.  However, when my boyfriend, who is 6'1", gets in it, 
he is always complaining that his knees are hitting the dashboard, even with 
the seat all the way back.  I let him drive the first night I had it (I know, 
aren't I nice?) and he said he was cramped the whole time, and the steering 
wheel was so low it was resting on his lap.  Other than the size factor, he 
loves the car and says he's never driven anything that's handled better, but 
he could never own one because of the small size.  Do some of our taller 
members on the list have the same problem, or is it just him???
