Miatas (Miatae?) are absolutely bulletproof.
Great cars, lotsa fun, short on trunk space after having a 944.
Their engines are spinning at nearly 4000 rpm on the freeway, and my 6'-1" head is just about on the headliner. The windsheild header was right in the line of sight until I removed the sunvisors.
The other popular mod for tall drivers is a "Foamectomy", where an inch of foam is removed from the bottom of the driver's seat, adding an extra inch of headroom.
Three friends have purchased a Miata after driving mine.
I guess that's what makes 944 ownership easy for me- If it needs any maintenance, I have something else to drive, so there's no time pressure.
