I'm considering getting a MK3 MR2 for my other half as a commuter and was wondering how much interior space these cars have. She is 6' and I'm 6' 5".

It would be nice if I could drive it, but TBH not a problem if I can't, but ideally I would need to fit in the pax seat. I can fit in a Mk1, but the Mk 3 looks even smaller inside.

So anyone tall driven one - what was your opinion?

Also what should I be looking at when buying - any weak spots?

I'm 6'3" and Mrs DS is 6'1" (with a 37" inside leg).
No problems whatsoever in our old MR2 Roadster - headroom is fine and I'd go so far as to say that the legroom for the passenger is the most I've ever seen - I could wave my feet around in the footwell.

The mk3 MR2 has more room than the MX5. I'm 6ft 2 and could not fit in a mk2 mX5, just fit in a mk3 MX5 and no trouble in a mk3 MR2 at all.
