Big Guy in an S2000
good gawd ... i shudder at the thought. I've always figured if I ever rolled it that would certainly be a "good way to go".
Yeah, not a pleasant experience, for me it was mostly due to knowing the car was going to be pretty 'messed up'. Went over an embankment, not too fast, slid off the road mostly backwards, caught the drivers side wheels and flipped over. That was in Feb. I might have it back at the end of the week, there blocking it now, so s/b spraying paint soon. Titanium Pearl, a Mitsu color, but with some custom touches, I like it.

I'm 6' 2" 200lbs. I feel that I'm pretty much at the limit of what can fit into this car.
I did own a 06 350Z and it had a ton more room inside. Drive both and see what fits you.

I'm 6'2 and 195Lbs and feel that I'm about maxing what could be considered comfortable. It's my DD and other than matching the comments about stop lights being a pain (hunching under the windshield frame) I have no issues.
This also depends on your personal opinion of comfort and how much you'd be willing to overlook in order to have a car you "WANT".
My friend is 6'4 and almost 300lbs and has wedged himself into the car on occasion. He doesn't say anything, but to me it looks really uncomfortable, and he is sitting without a steering wheel in the way.

To the OP, The only way to know is to go for a test drive. Everybody has a different idea of what an acceptable level of comfort is. The fact that you're even looking at the S shows that you don't mind compromising some... but how much?
I have a friend that is 6'6" and 290lbs. and he can just barely squeeze into the pass seat. His knees are in the dash and he has to hunker down
He tried to get into the driver side but stopped after a few seconds of wiggling around in fear that he may break some plastic pieces that cost more than he had in his pocket!
