Mazda MX-5 NC / Little space, right?

Hello, years ago I used the NA MX-5 (first model 1989). I never had the impression that the MX-5 offers little space. Also the seat was comfortable and fit. Due to the new special model Mazda MX-5 Mithra I dabbled today to the Mazda dealer. I found the seat sample disappointing. Somehow the whole car seems a lot tighter. Middle tunnel is very wide, but also the left and right footroom is smaller. I also didn’t feel comfortable with the seats. ?? Has the car actually narrowed down in the third generation? Too bad the dark red mithra would not be bad. However, I am a bit disappointed by the unscrupulous cover that is still thrown back by hand (unfortunately not electrically). Unfortunately, the openings on the left and right remain unsightly when folded in. Why does the mithra not exist with the metal folding roof…???? How do you feel about the space available?
