Erik is right. It is a small and compact car but not much worse than the garden variety vintage exotic.

There are lots of tall drivers enjoying their waist high space ships with nary a complaint.

Modern driver width is the real issue. Vintage human body types always mix better with exotic cars.

The Elise/Exige is a departure from the other cars you describe. They are so different that I wouldn’t even compare them.

The Elise is so light and nimble that the experience becomes something else completely.
