Default Pic Request

I'm looking to buy a s2000, but i wanted to know something first.
One of my friends was gonna get one but he decided he would look too big for the car. but he's thinner than me.
I was wondering if you guys could post pics with people driving, or at least sitting in the car.
btw- I'm 5' 9"- 10" and about 195(currently working it down so i wont look too big for the s2000).

Thanks in advance,
Bobby

Does it really matter it if you "looked" too big for the car? I really think as long as you're comfortable in the car and enjoy driving the car, "looking" too big for the car wouldn't matter.

I think thats true to a certain point. imo, the car has performance and it looks damn cool. and i dont know how many people will deny but part of the reason you get the car is to look cool.
I knew a guy in high school who was crazy buff and he drove a mr2. nobody would ever say it to his face since he was scary big, but he looked kinda ridiculous driving around in the mr2 cuz he hardly fit.
so even tho a lot of you guys may not care, unfortunately i do. doesnt mean im not gonna get the car, just means theres a little bit more sweat involved, literally.

The MR2 is a small ass car. The S2000 is not THAT small. As far as roadsters go.....it's a nice size. From the rear and front it's got a wide and beefy stance. The profile is long enough to compensate for size of the driver.

The comfort of the seats could be a factor. Or if your REALLY tall.......then you might look funny from all angles. But then again there is enough leg room to lay the seat back.

Don't sweat the small shizat.......


Go to a dealership...

Sit in the car....

Have said friend take your picture w/digital camera.....

Make decision....

No pics, but take my word for it. I am 5'10" at 195lb. and fit fine in the car. I have two friends 1 6'4" 235 and 1 6'5" 245lb and have no problem driving the car.

Seriously, this is high school stuff!!! If this is your biggest concern, don't buy the S2000! Get a Mitsubishi Spider!
