On my winter beater, I find that I have to watch myself so that I don't grab for the non-existent 6th.; that'd be reverse on the 5spd!

No. Well, not to my knowledge, anyway, as I've never made that mistake.
Tomato... CPO is certified pre-owned, i.e., a Honda dealer is supposed to go through a checklist. Comes down to your trust in the dealer network (which, frankly, is fairly mixed around the s2ki board, BTW).

Wow, 6'6", eh? You'll be a tight fit with the top up. There is a modification some folks have done to lower the seat a tad -- that might be a good one for you to look into.

As I recall, it's not simple to do, and it's not reversible. Yes, it's for the stock seats.
I've not done it myself, but you might be able to locate the thread(s) in the S2000 Talk forum via the s2ki search. If not, just post there and ask if someone can point you to it/them. Then, you can decide for yourself if it looks good for you.
Good luck.

It doesn't have reverse lockout?

Well, I'll be damned. I just checked this in my 10 year old Sidekick (bought new), and it does INDEED have a lockout. I have no idea how it works, but you cannot shift directly from 5th to reverse. Good to know! Thanks for asking!

I took my neighbor for a test ride/drive. He is 6'4". Unless someone at 6'6" has virtually all his height in his torso, I have a hard time imagining any kind of acceptable fit in an S2. My neighbor had the seat all the way back, with the seat back quite upright, and still had his knees rubbing against the steering wheel. He really enjoyed the handling and feel of the car, but couldn't see himself able to spend more than 30 minutes or so behind the wheel whthout feeling pinned inside the car.
