It's available here as well but that's only in the newer models and
they're out of my price range, plus it seems that the "A" type are the
only Miata's I can fit into?

I wrote a long essay here when the "C" type first came out about how I
wanted so much to like it but it was so miserably uncomfortable I gave
up on it after about an hour's drive. (Thanks again to a GREAT sales
man who rode with me to a gas station, used the dealer's credit card to
fill the car and had me drive him back to the dealership where he got
out and told me, "Don't be in a hurry to bring it back!"

After the cupholder on the door cut my left leg in half and the
throttle position destroyed my right ankle I WAS in a hurry to bring it
back!

"C" types are for people a little shorter than 6' 4"..... My 92 fits
just fine! I can't move around in it and I don't get in it, I put it
on, but it's comfortable once I'm in!
