I've tried to get in a Miata once. Had to put the top down and my eye level was over the windshield.

I'm 6'4" and fit in my 19 just fine, I have MAYBE an inch of head room left with the top up. Now the solstice I tried to get on? No fucking way. Was it an NA?

Edit: sweet reference on the handle.

Are we still doing phrasing?

I'm 6', but I have a comparatively long torso, so I generally have the seat set as low as possible in a sedan to be at a comfortable height, and even then, my head nearly touches the ceiling. Life before height-adjustable seats was interesting.

6'2 and I lay down and sleep in my smart during my lunch break.

My problem is usually width. Most vehicles aren't built for anyone physically wider than average (while yes, i am also overweight, id still have this problem no matter what). Some office chairs give me hip pain, and most armrests can't be adjusted out far enough to not be digging into my ribs.

There's also just nowhere for my left leg to comfortably go in an automatic, at least with a manual i had the clutch to keep that leg moving.
