Did he have any kind of aftermarket seats or rails in it?

 

I'm 6'5" and i fit with a helmet on. I feel like I'm as big as you'd wanna get. I'm 225 lbs.
I wish my OEM seat was a little lower but it's not bad.
On long drives 6 plus hours it gets a little uncomfy but stop and get gas an walk around and it's fine.

I'm also a size 15 shoe and my feet fit fine.

That's one thing I always get asked.

 

I would take every ones advice in check but also sit in the car you will be looking at prior to purchasing to confirm your fitment.

 

You will "fit". In my case (6'4") the driving ergonomics are not enjoyable with stock seats and I would not have bought this car unless a solution was available. Side mount bucket seats that lower 2" make a world of difference, not to mention they are actually more comfortable IMO. It does make it a little more difficult to get in and out though.

 

At the risk of being repetitious, you just have to go sit in (at least) one to know for sure. No one can absolutely say you will fit.

The guy I'm seeing is 6'5". Once in the seat there is no issue with head clearance, however he could never drive it because his knees impact everything below the steering wheel and his left knee hits the door such that he can't even release the clutch pedal. It's all in how you are proportioned.

And as others have mentioned, you can make modifications which will get you lower, etc.

 

Really? I have a hard time imagining this. I'm 5'8 and am nowhere close to touching the soft top with my head. (Also, 5'8, 300 lbs is pretty big....)

 

I'm 6'4 and fit ...couldn't be much taller IMO ...after market rails and or seats and your issue is gone . So the answer is yes with some work adjusting the seat you can fit , however you may need new rails to lower the seat a bit ...either way its well worth the effort , trust me you won't find any other car like an S2k !!

 

Please dont let the other comments dissuade you from the S2000 fitment. I am 6'4 all legs and i fit great. If your built like me ( 180lbs all legs) you will have very comfortable arm positioning, a slight bend in the knees (which i like, the racecars i drive are a tight fit) and head room for miles.

The only downside is having to look for stoplights and if you really need to stretch your legs you need to weasel your foot in between the pedals to get any sort of leg room.

The seating position that fits me best is all the way back without the manual bag on the back, also when you slide all the way back, recline as much as you can, it will open up the cab drastically.

cheers!

I'm 6"2' 230 lbs and I had the same concerns when I was shopping for an S2000, but I fit fine. I'd love to give the aftermarket seat rails a try though. Like some other members mentioned, the best way to ensure if you fit is to sit in an S2000 and see how it feels.

 

I am about 6'-4" and its a tight fit. I think body type has a play once you get above 6' in the car. Not sure if legs or upper body length is the issue. Stock I felt like if the car was to roll over my head would be the bar no matter what. And my knees almost just barely touched the steering wheel. Got a new seat and it is so much better. But then the bucket seats have issues depending on your overall width. I haven't tracked the car but I doubt I would pass the broom test with a helmet. The helmet would be the bar for sure. If you are in LA you can sit in my car with an aftermarket bucket seat and low rails.

On long drives there is no stretching in a bucket seat. Your legs will go numb after 3-4 hours. I like long road trips when we have the time.
