Default Any big guys in s2k's?

Hello all,

I have been in love with s2k's since day-one! I am in a position to finally buy one but i haven't been able find any in my area to test drive(sit in) and before I fly or drive out to buy one I'd like to know if there are any big & tall guys on here that can chime in about comfort/fit?

I am 6'1" and 280 pounds

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rafael

5'10" 280 here. The only time I have problems getting in and out of this car is when I sit in the passenger seat.
The radio door opened pokes your knee and your seat bolsters take a more severe beating but otherwise it's a comfy fit.

Lol, I don't think I'd ever sit in the passenger seat in this car. Thanks for your responses!

6' and about the same, and I agree. Shoulders could use a little more room and my bolsters look like ass, but other than that it's just fine.

I'm over 6'2" and about 250.
I have lowered BYS seat rails, and they really help.
I also have CR seats. They stay cooler in the summer, and are warmer in spring/fall, and they have the added benefit of feeling like I have just a tad more room.

Diet a little bit and you'll be just fine. I know that's hard because I have to go through it all them time as I think I have the worlds slowest metabolism.

You'll love the car.

I'm about 6'2'' 220lbs. Comfy ride and I have no issues getting out or in. Only thing I hate is having the radio door down as it does poke me in the knee
