I'm average height. Below average weight :'(
Nothing about this car bugs me in terms of ergonomics. It fits me like a glove. The stereo is pretty bad, though, if I'm grasping for something to complain about. Bose option stereos in Miatas are better.
Edit: maybe the fact that they never thought to fix the stupid door lock situation in the 9 years the car was in production. Power locks. No power un-locks. I gotta reach over to the other side like a slave. MF'ing uncivilized.

I was referring to using the FOB from inside the car to unlock the passenger door while the car is running - Modifry has a fix to allow this. The default Honda setting disables the FOB while key is in ignition. What B Serious was complaining about was that you can lock both doors from inside the car by pushing the driver door lock, but you don't have the ability to open the locks electrically from inside the car.
Once you do the Modifry fix you can open both doors using the FOB from inside the car with the key in ignition, hence no reaching over to the passenger side to unlock. It also allows you to open the trunk using the FOB with key in ignition as a side benefit to the mod, so less reaching to the secret compartment and more convenient in case your console door is locked. Best free mod IMO.

Learn to adjust your mirrors. They should teach you that on your first track day. No need to turn your head. You can find a video online.
Two 22" carrying suitcases fit easily into the trunk. And there's room on each side. That's WITH the tool kit and tray in place. Two people can travel easily for as long as you want to.
You just got this car. You have a lot to learn.

i like how tight it is- fat people don't.
trunk is fine for my needs- i usually just cut my victims up into little pieces and they just fit fine in the trunk.
Top down- no visibility problems but top up, yeah, the top has blind spots. But i have mad skills backing up so i can deal.
Gas is cheap- in fact, i encourage wanton waste of gas in the pursuit of speed.
I can't think of anything i don't like about it...maybe, that i don't own 2 of them and that honda stopped producing them. oh, and the stock stereo sucks.
But, since you asked.

I have a hardtop, so no visibility or noise issues. Ground clearance can be an issue on some parts of the road, but my MPG is around a solid 30mg when I actually keep it in 6th and not try to speed.

I've seen the plug thing. And I also want a hardtop, eventually I'll get one, I don't drive with my top down much. Do you keep your hardtop on all the time?

I've always keep the hardtop on. Winter or Summer. It's bolted on, the OEM latches are just as good as having a "free hardtop" sign on the window.
If you're trying to figure out your mileage, reset your trip after filling a full tank of gas. Once you go to fill it up again, divide the miles on the trip with how many gallons you filled up.
Example. 202.5 miles on trip when refilled. Car took 10.4 gallons. 202.5 miles / 10.4 gallons =19.47 MPG. The tank holds 12.9 gallons, I've never gotten past the last few gallons. Too paranoid.

I think that's what I did. It was when I just got the car though, so like I said, my foot was heavier lol. Gonna do it again this week. Thanks.
