Default Too big to fit?

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

Yeah I would definitely try and test drive one first. I'm 6'2 and my only problem is also having to lean forward to see stop lights.

I'm 5'10" and 175 lbs. I'm not big, but i feel big in this car. I have to lean forward to see signal lights or lean forward to see more of my surroundings. It's starting to hurt my back. Seats feel too short height wise, back rest portion, for my back. I feel a buldge in my upperback. Maybe i will buy new seats. I swear these seats are designed for 5'5" japanese ppl. If you look at headreast of seat and "roll bar" behind each seat, you will notice that your head is above them. I'm surprised these 6'2" guys are not rubbing their heads on the convertible top. your seat will be scooted all the way back and back part of seat leaned to the far back touching the "roll bar" ....lack of better term.

im 6' 185lb and i dont have any problems driving it nor does my 6'3" friend .

With my seat all the way back I have plenty of leg room and head room too. my only thing getting used to was the position of the wheel which cannot be changed.
