"Folding" is for young "normal" sized people. I have owned a couple of MGBs in my lifetime. While I could be considered "normal" sized (5'10"), at my age, I would be reluctant to "fold" myself into another MGB or a Miata. Funny how your wants change with age. When I was young I wanted "cool."  Now I want comfort.

The Mazda 3 is nice. I personally am not a fan of "hatchbacks", but it isn't butt-ugly like the 1990's vintage hatchback. I would happily drive your car around, no problems, so if you get tired of it, let me know.

When my dad was young he used to own a '58 Corvette that he happily crammed himself into. He's 6'1". With certain cars it doesn't matter how bad you fit, you just keep on squeezin'.
Boy, that's one car he wishes he still had. Sold it right after he got drafted.

I have to admit, I'd be willing to squeeze into a '58 Corvette. One of my dream cars. It was the first year for the dual headlights.  I wouldn't turn down a 57 Vette either.

Gotta admit, I wanted a '58 Vette in light blue with white sides from the moment I saw the In 'n' Out commercial...
