I BOUGHT A NEW MIATA MX5 (2010) AND I NOTICED AFTER A WHILE THAT DUE TO THE LIMITED SPACE - I AM 6 FOOT TALL - I HAVE CRAMPS IN MY RIGHT FOOT. I AM WORRIED ABOUT AN ACCIDENT. I WENT TO A MAZDA DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE RIGHT FOOT IS IN AN AWKWARD POSITION THAT TAKES THE WEIGHT OF THE ENTIRE LEG. HOWEVER, THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR
