Not really foaming at the mouth
 
Just have been in the Solstice and cannot see a 6'er having those kind of issues. Both my sitting in it and the specs do not add up to your experience. Perhaps the seat was not all the way back? Are there any owners out there over 6' that feel their knees are in the dashboard?

I'm 6' 1", 175 lbs, and I fit fine. Perhaps the seat wasn't adjusted properly?

Duke 15,
 
I must have longer legs than you. Both the salesman and myself tried to move it back further but the seat adjustment was at it's limit. He agreed that the car was best for smaller people.
 
Good luck to you.
 
Paul

Could be - I'm a little long in the torso. The first salesman that I spoke to didn't know how to adjust the seat properly, so I thought it might have been that.

Your legs may well be too long for the Sky.
 
But with less than half an inch difference between the Sky and Miata leg room, your claim you fit the Miata just fine does not add up, so to speak.

"I'm only 5' 11" and I cannot get the steering wheel to adjust high enough to not block the main portion of the instrument binnacle. I did check to see that the seat was in its lowest and most rearward position.
  
My line of sight was right into the top of the windshield header."
 
I am just under an inch taller than you. I had the same issues with my two (first and second generation) Miatas.
 
Roadsters are designed low to the ground. This is an important component in their ride and handling.
 
For the instruments, Mazda and Saturn could add a heads up feature, I suppose. That would add to expense.
 
Miata aftermarket companies sell a plastic attachment that fixes to the top of the windshield, giving a more panoramic view. This enables taller people to see traffic lights and the like, without being blocked by the header. I imagine it would work just as well in the Sky as in the Miata. I never saw the need for one.

Go try fitting into a Mustang, for comparison.

My husband is 6'3", 180lbs and he fits in the Sky just fine. I think it all depends on leg length...those with long legs will probably find the Sky/Solstice too cramped. For what it's worth, my hubby finds that he fits better in the Sky over the Miata and the 350Z.
