At one point,(actually more than once) I was going to get a S2000 to knock around in, I really like the car, top down it was fine. My wife is claustrophobic, with the top up, she just couldn't do it, in the NSX top on or off, no problem, in the GT, she's also OK, but not the S2000. The only way I could have her in the car was top down. I didn't feel claustrophobic in the car, it was comfortable, and kind of cute. There's a prototype Miata Spyder with the really low canvas roof, I sat in that too, the top was off, once I got in and cleared the window edge of the roof, it was surprisingly roomy, even above my head. I thought the car looked sharp, not sure if Mazda's going to build it. I think that the Subayota (or whatever people are going to call it), is going to be a homerun. There will be lots of aftermarket performance products, you'll be able to get lots of extra go power for a lot less money than you can on the NSX. Yes, the appeal will be to the younger crowd, but don't we all want to stay young? I know that when I go for a ride in the NSX, I feel younger than I do in my DD's!!!oh cool.. another guy who's seen/sat in it too!
so I agree with you about everything. i'm a bit torn on the pedal position. i think it has more room for my big feet but the heel/toe is a bit easier on the NSX i think. The problem on the NSX is my foot gets caught up at the top near my toes. I don't have that problem in the BRZ/FRS. I also have to press farther on my heel on the NSX. Anyway, how often are we going to be heel-toe'ing going to the market...
Did you feel the car was small? The inside was big enough.. makes the S2000 feel claustrophobic, but the outside dimensions makes it look like a Miata to me.
Eager to hear your thoughts..
