Default is the del sol for me?

ok, i love how del sols look and im inlove with the way they can look after a lil work. im a guy with a tiny budget (one pooor bastard) lol. i really want a del sol for 2 reasons, i can afford one and because they look great. sadly though i've never driven one. the idea of takin the top off is one of the strong selling points here. my problem is... its such a tiny car and me... im not tiny. IF the inside has the same space as the front seat in a civic im fine, but if its too small i had trouble climbing in and out of a 92 prelude (i would always hit my head) and i was wondering if i would have the same problem with the sol. besides that im dying for one. anyway, if i were to get one what would be the best swap to do?

...the del Sol's seats are very low to the ground. So I'd think, if you have problems getting in and out, it's going to be cuz you are so low.
...and if you hit your head, leave the top off!

Just my 2¢

I'm 6'3" but skinny as hell... about 175lbs... But I have no issues with the size other than sometimes wanting a little more leg room. It's a very minimal annoyance... But all in all, fun car, doesn't handle quite as well as my old CRX, but for the age, reliability, and aftermarket support, I'll take it!
