I tried the Miata before the Boxster and found that I didn't fit (headroom). I wished it did as it was a great deal for the money and there were tons of aftermarket tweeks and even a racing classification specific to the car available. However, I've rever regretted getting the Boxster....

I guess it all depends on where your height is split (toes to hip and hips to hair)... I'm 6'1" as well and fit in the Boxster OK, finding I have plenty of leg room. In the Miata I couldn't comfortably fit my legs or head (with the top up). I had the same problem with almost every other sports conv. I tried except for the Honda S2000.
