Bill: I don't think there is much difference between a Z3 and a Miata in terms of room for getting (climbing) in and out. If you spot a Z3 for sale, you might stop and try climbing into it to see for yourself. The roadster I remember being particularly difficult to contort my middle aged body into is the S2000.
Incidently, I considered a Miata and believe it too would be a good choice. Miata is smaller than a Z3 (or Boxter, SLC, S2000 etc), and IMHO it handles the best - like a go cart. And I expect it requires less repair than any of the German choices. But for my purposes, a Miata is too much like the MG's and Triumphs I fooled around with in my youth, when I wished I could afford a Jag E-type or a Healy 3000. My Z3 is more like those bigger, more powerful roadsters. YMMV.
