30 seconds with the top down or windows down solves this. I don't find it too bad, but all my cars have black leather interiors so I don't really have a good basis for comparison.

I live at the beach in SoCal. I've never found the black top to really be an issue. Black top/black interior, and the car still cools off really quickly when you open the windows. Yes, it does get hot inside. I've experienced worse in larger cars with a rear hatch window, etc... heating up because of the black color and the greenhouse effect. I think the limited interior space of the Miata (surfaces and air space) allow it cool down faster than any other black-topped car I've driven.

I actually think it's cooler in my S2000's black interior and soft top than it is in my Miata's tan interior and soft top. The s2k seats are lightyears better than the Miata seats. I'm actually buying a friend's black cloth Miata seats to replace the tan leather Miata seats I have now. Less light reflection on the interior probably helps reduce the heat in combination with tinted windows.
