I really appreciate all of you for chiming in. I wasn't able to test it out today but will soon.

I think its more of the width that would be a problem than height, the guy I was going to buy one from was about 5'9 270 and was selling the car because his legs were touching the steering wheel and his body was basically hanging over the middle.

6'1 285lbs with the BYS lowered seat rail. Driven from Chicago to Deals Gap twice, no issues.

I do have trouble seeing high mounted traffic lights though.

I am 6' 2 and 240-250lb and i fit just fine. Some times at lights if i pull up to far i have to duck my head to see the signal light. but the car is perfect... if i were any bigger i would HAVE TO get the seat lowering brackets. Which i personally still want to do since the only real area im tight in is the legs. but everywhere else im comfortable. GO KART STATUS!

5'10" 230lbs.
I just bought a 07 S2000 and fit in o.k. but trouble sometimes when top is up.
I test drove a AP-1 model and that is tighter on the inside, my elbow would rub on the door panels whereas on my AP-2 they don't.

Oh, I'm also 59 yrs. old!

I'm a long legged 6'0" and fit very snuggly. Seat is all the way back too, and depending on my mood, I sometimes pull it forward one notch. Long distances (3+ hours) are doable, but not preferred. Red light visibility? yea...no. lol

I've ranged from 175 to 210 while having the car. I fit either way, but broad shoulders also make me feel like i have bad posture (shoulders pushed in a bit), but not horrible. Also, winter time with a large snow jacket or a pea coat does get a little TOO snug...

I honestly don't know if I fit, or I force myself to fit because I love the car. But in the end, it's very snug in a good way.

Oh, btw the wife hates the car because it's a pain to get in and out of. But that also means...

You also have to consider are your legs longer, or your torso? if its your legs u have to worry about leg room, more than head room/redlight visibility. if you have a longer torso, then vise versa. im 6foot with longer legs and i fit in one nicely, but it feels like a racecar for me lol. when i get back in my eclipse, i feel like im in a rolls royce

<6'3" 200.lbs
Leg room is perfect
Bolsters are worn down so much that my arse actually fits in the seat just fine.
Could use more shoulder room.
Seeing lights at intersections is hell, but like others said you can get a lower seat to cure this.
Getting into the glove box with a passenger in the car can be dangerous, for the passenger

Totally worth it though

It all depends on how you're proportioned. I have a buddy who is also 6'3, but most of his height is from his legs. He seriously could not effectively drive the car without his legs scrunched up on the steering wheel. This was with stock seats, but at a certain point you can't just make that span any longer.. It's easier to fix torso height issue!
