I'm only 6'0, but 218lbs. (Pure muscle, of course...you believe me don't you?) Anyway, even with a slight spare tire around the middle the car fits great. At times, I even feel a little short in the car.

Forget about reaching the middle compartment while driving, though. Go for the 6 cd changer to avoid some rolling headaches.

I can't believe I am the first to comment on this...but, pardon the pun, here goes (so many options):

1. Like you don't check it out in the mirror every night
2. If I were a woman (or gay) I'd want a pic
3. How many quarters can you "clench" off the ground?
4. "Nice *ss!!"

and lastly

5. Mel Gibson, eat your heart out

Ya.... I'm 6'4"ish and have head room (a couple of inches at a guess with the top up). I have about 1 - 1.5 " clearance between knees and dash with seat 2nd last notch from the back. I have always found Hondas good for room, my girlfriend's Civic included, compared to many of the larger sedans. The S2000 is very comfortable.

It took me a while to find the optimal seating position and now I have that annoying rubbing sound of the seat on the plastic behind my right shoulder.

Anyone find a fix for this yet?

Yes... I think some sort of soft material would be the solution. I'm not sure if its the actual seat belt anchor or the interior of the cockpit that it's rubbing against.

6'1" ~250lbs. I've got a big ass and ride up on the side bolsters a bit but the fit is snug and comfortable. It takes a bit of getting used to being so upright and in a performance driving position all the time. Same goes for the traffic light thing. It's fine now, very supportive as I find myself slouching a bit in bigger cars now. You really do wear it so it take a bit of extra time to get in and out. It just adds to the race car feeling but it's no where near as cramped as an F1 cockpit

6' 2.5" - 220 here. No problems either. I've always like to sit quite far back in more of a reclined position and I've got no problems. My only issue is with the stereo door open, it pokes my knee - that's why I keep the damn thing closed and use Pinky's mod to control everything!!

I generally also take my wallet out on longer trips. That really helps to I think. Especially at drive throughs - that way you don't have to be a contortionist to get at the damn thing to pay for your filet 'o fish.

This is how a 6'3" human being known as Jason Saini sleeps, yes, actually SLEEPS in the S2000 known as "The Mistress" ... This was taken just south of Lexington KY on the way down to kick a Dragon's butt a few weeks back. We left Chicago about 10 and got to Lexington about 5, i think? Anyway, one of the most classic shots from a weekend long photo-shoot...awesome.
