Default Few questions

Anyway, for the past year or two I've been interested in getting a s2000, however I have a few questions.

I'm 6'2" and i went today with my friend to see how well I'd fit inside of it. It was pretty comfortable sitting in it and I really enjoyed it, however getting in it was a bit hard. So questions are

1) I couldn't see if the car had a way to set the steering wheel a bit higher, do they come with adjustable steering wheels?


5) Do these cars have short shifts because the one I tested out seemed to have had a short shifter (could have been modded). My friend has an Accord and s2000 seems to have had shorter shifts and it took a bit more effort.

Edit:

6) Why do some models have red/black seats and interior while others have either red or black?


Sorry for all of these questions but I really want to get one of these before I graduate.

Thanks for that link, it was very informative. I only have few questions left now that hopefully could be answered.

1) I do not believe that you can adjust the steering wheel. When getting in your car, go butt first then swing in your legs (this is much easier then trying to step into the car first.

5) Yes the S2000 has pretty short shifts. It is possible that a countersunk shift knob was put in the car. If that is the case it is no big deal. Some aftermarket knobs are heavier then OEM making them feel better. It shouldn't take much effort to move the shifter. If it is notchy and grinding quite a bit I would think there is something wrong with the transmission.

6) Red-black interiors was just another option that you could have. Black, Red, Black-Red, Blue, and Tan were all interior color options for these cars (depending on the year and exterior color)

Thanks for the answers, hopefully I'll pick one up by the end of the month.
