I have the opposite problem: I'm only 6' tall but am kinda leggy, 35" inseam. I sat in the Miata when they just came out (and almost bought one) again in 2000 at an auto show (came close to buying one again) I just couldn't see getting my legs comfortable, my left leg would want to get wedged between the steering wheel and the door panel with my left foot hovering over the clutch pedal. I saw no room to redo the seat track to slide the seat back any further because of the rear bulkhead (without changing to a seat with a thinner seatback).
I might give it another try someday, the aluminum drag seat is a good idea. I love the look of those little MX5's, good to know you can get good FE with one.
