I'm 6' 6" as well, and like xpander says as long as the radio door is closed so your not banging your knee on it, and you have the seat all the way back, any discomfort is offset simply by driving an unbelievable car. On another note, headroom is not an issue, ample amounts of that. However the top of the windshield can get in the way from time to time.

I am 6'1+ and it fits me like a glove, however my neighbor down the street is 6' and his legs are so much bigger (not longer) that he couldn't move the steering wheel once he was in. So go find one and sit in it that is the only way you'll know if you will fit.

Ok as long as you keep the shiny side up. Learn to duck quick otherwise!

I'm 5'10" and it fits me like a glove, BUT my wife is 5'9" and is all legs. Her knees are cramped.

Try it out for size.

It just occured to me that there probably aren't too many "lard a$$" S2000 owners.

Nothing against overweight people(we're all a little overweight), but *help me out here*...

Good advice. I'm noly 5'9" though I managed to carve a chunk of flesh out of my leg from that snazzy door.

I'm 6 foot 2, and can assure you, the problem is not the height of your head, it is the width of your butt. However, tall guys get a severe blast of wind in the face when the top is down.
