I am pleased to see some of these sporty 'verts running around. The Miata pretty much started this 'modern' roadster trend many years ago, and it's still going strong.
My problem with the Miata is that I simply can't fit into the first gen cars - I'm too tall at 6'2". It wasn't designed for the taller person. Same applies to most 'verts.
I did sit in a Saturn Sky recently, and seem to fit. I also fit into the Toyo MR2 Spyder - I'm sad they stopped making that car. But it's flaw is the same as the Solstice/Sky's: no trunk space. I suspect the Solstice/Sky will not be around for too long due to this major issue.
That said, I think a Toyo MR2 Spyder, or a Solstice/Sky would make a terrific commuting car - you don't need a whole lot of trunk space for the daily drive, and you can have some top-down driving as well as some spirited jaunts down the back roads on the way home.
Just my $0.42,
