It's not really the size of the person, it's the preference. Some people aren't comfortable unless they feel like they are taking up as much space as possible. Personally, I don't like big cars. When I drive a SUV or big car, I just feel like there is so much space all around me. It may be comfy, but it's not cozy.
sport cars should be a tight fit. For safety 1. your body will not bounce around the cabin as much when you have a rollover.
2. your body will not slide around as much when you make fast turns, you will stay in place to control the car.
SUV: Max room to stretch out and have a super relaxed position to drive. Not for serious driving.
Sport cars are NOT for everyone!

with the hardtop on i feel like the headroom is slightly decreased vs the softtop.
most people fall into the passenger seat on their first time becuase they arent expecting it to be so low. on the same note, they have a hard time pulling themselves out of the seat!

I'm 6' 4 & 3/4". I still have headroom? (especially with no top!)
Lesson learned: Don't be friends with people who bitch about everything--at least, don't drive them places. Or, tell them this: "It's not the car, it's you. The car is the appropriate dimensions, you are what needs to lose weight."

The only person I know that had problems with my S was my friend who is 6'6''. Another friend of mine is 6'9'', but he hasn't seen my car yet. I'm 6'3'', 185lbs and have no problems getting in and out. Plenty of head space with the top up. It's just not for everyone. A friend of mine doesn't like it because of the stiff ride, he doesn't care for the bucket seats, so he drives a truck.
What's fun for some is not for others, but as my dad always says "there's an a$$ for every seat."
