The fit is snug but comfortable. I can't really tell with a 5 minute test drive how it would be. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Jason Saini is 6 foot 3 and he is on the national autocross circuit with the S2000. Jason, are you listening?

He'll be here, but if not, I'll mention this thread next time I see/talk to him...

Well im 6'2" does that count? I am a thin 190. I am told im so skinny. I dont think so maybe a little time at the gym will help. My butt is tiny or so I have been told. What I am getting at is its not really a height thing. Its a width thing. If your 6'3" and pushing over 225 your gonna really be snug!

I love the car dont find it obtrusive or cramped. Though im 99% alone. I should throw out the seat over there just for weight loss! Its like never used.

Well if you give me some more about your stature I can probably help.

Just so you know my dad all 6'5" 270 ish of him folds up into a pretzle and fits in without his head hitting the roof! A daily driver for him....NO WAY! He has a hard time getting up from such a low position only draw back for him and passengers(no steering wheel to push off. Plus his legs are long and big that they just about hit the wheel. Reminded me of when I drove a MIATA!!!!

I'm 6'1" and some change. I think its a combination of height and weight. I'm 210 and it is a little snug. I also have trouble wearing a baseball cap -- they tend to blow off a higher speeds. Also, you will find it impossible to see stoplights with the top up if you're the first one in line.

Yup... I'm 6'3", almost 6'4" and weigh around 215lb. I fit great, and even recently took an 8 hour road trip with no complaints. Headroom is great, especially with the top down! I even fit with the top up and my helmet on. Couldn't even say that much for my VW Corrado!

I would say that any taller than me might not be comfortable... 6'4" could make it, but over that would be tough. I like a snug fit, anyway... it really makes you feel a part of the driving experience.

Hope this help! Oh, buy it... you love it!

I am 6'1" 206, and I fit fine. My son is 6'4", 195lbs and his head hits just hits the top. He also has the seat a little farther foward, than I do, but he leans the seat back more than I do. I like a more upright position. He does prefer to have the top down to drive (but don't we all). I think that his height is about the limit.

It is difficult to see stop lights with the top up, even at my height. But other than than the fit is great

6'-2" and no problem. It's hard to see the stoplights if you're first in line but if the top is down you can always look over the frame

6'3+ and 225. Snug but the seat fits me nicely. Long drives seem ok. Knee steering is easy. No problem. Enough short sentences.
