Which Miata have you tried sitting in btw? This gen (NC) is the biggest one of all, and I would say doesn't feel much tighter than say a Mazda 3 inside. Still probably not made for the tall man (I'm 5'10 and it feels just right), but if there's one that may fit, it's this gen.
I drove an NC. Sadly it was an auto, but I was so damn happy to finally get the chance given the hype. It was great. But my head was absolutely above the roll hoop. No way I could pull it off with the roof on. That's not a unique problem to Miatas for me however.

Congrats, and good for you for saying screw it and getting the fun thing. I knew a guy that had 3 of them and autocrossed them all the time. He was a very above average driver with seat time in a lot of cool cars and just raved about them.
