Haven't driven the MR2 spyder but have spent a bunch of track days driving a 1991 MR2 turbo. It's a fun ride. Very predictable, handles well, aftermarket support is good too.
Also have spent a couple of track days driving a Miata. More precise feeling then the MR2. Many options for aftermarket upgrades from turbo kits to full Mustang engine/drivetrain swaps. But still a fun driver for the prices that they currently go for.
Both are good in city/traffic driving I'd think. Small cars that are good on gas, easy to park, and not real big theft targets where I am. And fun to throw around the corners. You won't be living life a quarter mile at a time but you won't be bored driving an econobox either.
I'm 5'11" mostly in the legs. Both of these cars are okay for me. The seats slide back far enough that I have leg room. And the pedal spacing is acceptable for my size 12s. Headroom isn't spacious but I have enough to get in/out and not bang anything.
