Default height and s2000

i just have recently bought my s2000. my ex gf's dad use to have an 03 berlini black with black interior but he sold it because he was too big for the car, he was 6'3 and football player build. he absolutely loves the car and was really excited for my when i got the car, and the only reason he sold it was due to size. he now drives the new c6 vette, black with black. i am 6'2, i can fit pretty decently in the s2000, i am not quite the big builg he is, i'm more of the basketball player/cross country runner body. i was just wondering out of curiosity any taller guys than me being 6'2, or him being 6'3 out there driving the s2000? all my other friends are around 5'10 or 5'11 so there a bit shorter and they drive very comfortably. i love the car and this isn't a big issue, just curious who the taller drivers out there in the s2k are like me, lol... sorry for the long post

You do plan on selling the MR2 right?

It would feel so jealous with the S2k sitting beside it xD

Having no 'lift' sucks though I have no idea why they didn't use the VVTL-i for the MR2s.

yeah it's my dad's car, and he is gonna sell it, i use to drive it more than he did, lol... yeah a 2zz mr2 would rock. by no means is it a fast car, but it is a fun car to cruise in. he's thinking about an 05 suzuku blue s2k, or a new vette, dunno how soon and when it'd happen tho. celica gt-s was fun tho gotta love vvtl-i. i had my time with it, now it's time for bigger and better... s2000

comfort really isn't absolutely determined by the size of the person itself. a lot of it has to do with what an individual can tolerate in terms of cramped space. i'm around 6'3" and i drive barefooted most of the time. with shoes on, the knee room is too cramped for me to do any quick foot manuevers with the pedals. although i would describe the s2000's fit as snug, but comfortable and supportive, my cousin who is sub 6', but is 10 years older than me, find it difficult and uncomfortable to get in and out of the car.

wow kevin's got us all beat. yeah i agree alot probably has to do with how good you're knees are if u're that tall, so the older you are i guess the more uncomfortable it is... owell, great to know the other bigger s2k drivers out there, lol... thanks for everyone's imput for my curiosity, have a great day everyone
