Anyone have a NC Mazda Miata (2006-2015) I could sit in to see if I fit?

I'm looking for a Miata, so I went to a dealership to test drive the latest ND generation of Miata. No matter what I did with the steering wheel or seat, my knees were far too close to the steering wheel.

The older NC generation (2006-2015) was slightly larger in every way, including being a few inches longer. I'm thinking that the few extra inches of length will allow me to fit better in a NC, but I don't know that for sure.

Does anyone have a NC miata (they were made 2006-2015) they'd be willing to let me sit inside of just to see if I can fit in one of these things? I'm not asking for a test drive or anything; I'm just looking to sit down and see if I fit. If anyone is somewhere relatively near the Carrollton / westish of Atlanta area and would be willing to let me sit in their car then please let me know. Thanks!
 
I'm 6'0" and 200 lbs
I fit my wife's Miata fine but prefer my Maverick LOL

I'm 5 11, big boned and 220 lb and my 2021-2 Miata 6 sp conv seat was all the way back, fit like a glove but acceptable driving here in the boonies on somewhat twisty mostly 2 lane roads.

How tall are you and weigh ?
I'm 6'2", 165, and all legs. I had good headroom in the ND, but my legs being as long as they are made my knees touch the steering wheel even with the wheel all the way up and the seat all the way back. I've heard the older NC miatas are ~3" longer, and I think that would be the difference for my knees and the steering wheel.

Lektriks have more leg room - no big pesky engine up front to contend with... just saying... :)
 
Also check out the Fiat Abarth version, it has a few more ponies and bells and whistles.
