Hej so i am 6,4 that’s 193 in cm and looking for a fun roadster i also wanna daily and is somewhat good on gas since i’m still a student, i’ve thought of a

Honda Del Sol

BMW Z4 myb 3

NB Miata myb NC (myb is the nc to expensive)

Mercedes r170

for a budget of +/- 5k (in europe)

are there any models i am completely missing or not aware of? And please some opinions on those cars in general. if the del sol is worth as a roadster even when it’s fwd? how will i fit, or what i can do do realistically to fit, foamactomy seat lowering brackets etc. ?

6'6, here's my 2 cents. Assuming stock:

NB Miata, forget it. You won't fit. Del Sol, you can make it work but don't expect to be comfortable after driving for 30 mins.

BMW Z4, not sure if they're even available for €5K? They have been built for the European market though. Same story for the Benz R170.

You could try a MK3 MR2. Not as practical as the others, however it is more fun if you ask me. I've driven one as daily for over 3 years (granted, with aftermarket seats) and it's fantastic. Even with stock seats I can fit. Depending on where you're located in Europe, it could be hard to find one for your budget but they're out there.

I think that it would depend on your body proportions, some cars are designed to fit people of a certain proportion better than others.

I've heard that a lot of tall people find Mini Coopers comfortable, Mini Cooper convertible is a thing

Z4. I’m 6’4 and can’t fit my legs in a Miata

Get one with a n52 motor. Very reliable and solid cars. Budget for water pump and thermostat though, maybe a valve cover gasket. Other than that they’re solid.
