I'm 6'3 and pretty slender. It's a great fit... I have room to spare. The only thing I hate is not being able to recline the seat and sleep between classes.

It all depends on the person, really. I can drive anything that allows me to physically get into the car. Some people feel the strange need to stretch out while driving.

I also had a hard time seeing traffic lights when stopped so I tend to stop a little before the line. Thinking about lower driver seat.

I don't think I've ever pulled up to a light that I can see without leaning forward or raising up.

I'm 5'11" 210lbs and feel like I'm at the upper limits of the car's sizing!!! I have the seat all the way back..well..the notch before it rubs..my back is definitely wider than the seat and so are my legs. I'm getting used to it but I don't see how anyone larger than me would enjoy the ride as a DD.

i'm 6'2" and i can't put the back of my seat all the way back b/c of my roll bar and i still fit fine.....it was a little different at first but now it's easy and i wouldn't have it any other way

always a blind spot to your left with the top up, if i'm top up and on the highway the windows down and i pop my head out just to be extra safe, on the right side with top up your side mirror and being able to look through the back window is fine

I want my next mod to be a roll bar..not a cage at this point as mine is a DD. I like the bar you have..if you could tell me..which is it, where did you get it, and how was the install???

elda engineering....they are on back order right now. mine is the version 1 which could possibly be out of spec by the end of this year b/c of scca regulations

it was about $800 and the install was about 20 hours with taking plastic out, bolting it in and putting it all back together

For me, the S2000 rides to hard to be a good daily driver here in the Cheese State with its crappy roads. If the steering wheel bothers you now, it probably always will.

Skimping on safety is the worst so I'm definitely going to get it or something similar. 20 hours sounds pretty intimidating . I wouldn't be getting this to comply with any SCCA rules but just curious..is it for the Pro Solo?? and Solo 2 I guess also??? This wouldn't hold up to club racing specs would it??
