I guess people have different thresholds. I'm 6'2", 210 on a good day and have owned two Miatas with no complaints (did a 1100 mile straight through road trip with no cruise control in the second one).

The boxster is voluminous by comparison. Getting in and out is, as pointed out by others, the issue when you're geriatrically challenged.

EDIT: Oh, and if you're willing to come to Tacoma you can sit in mine

6' 4" and 225 lbs and I fit fine. I did install a GT3 center console delete kit to give my right leg some room and make heel and toeing easier.

My youngest son is 6' - 4" and 195 lbs. He can get in, but if he slumps low enough to get some headroom, his legs are kind of jammed up. Note that he had a worse time in the '95 Miata replaced by this Boxster since the Miata steering column did not telescope. He borrows my car anyway.
