I have a friend that is 6'5" 220lbs. He came with me for the test drive. He fit. Let me say that....but he fit pretty frekkin snug. I dont think it would be a comfortable ride...but if you can deal with being squished then by all means, go for it! good luck.

I believe that better question is, "Can a 6'2'' man handle the cabin of an S2000?" You'll be able to fit, but you won't be the most comfortable.

That's the LEAST of my concerns. My head is held erect for the purpose of paying attention to my driving. I can't think of a single time I just put my head back for relaxation.

I am 6'3'', 172lbs. I fit great. Like other said head room is a non issue. It is good incentive to stay in shape and keep the weight down. Have fun!

I've got an 03 and I'm 6'3 250lbs and I fit fine. I've done a 380 mile day without suffering much fatigue. Best bet is to test drive one for yourself.

I love these "short" guys coming on here and saying someone over X feet tall won't be comfortable. They paraphrase their "Friends" who are over 6' tall as saying they weren't comfy.

Take it from those of us who are ACTUALLY tall. It IS a comfortable fit. But as someone else said...if you are a tub o' lard...you won't be comfy. You need to be evenly built to fit within the confines of the s2k cockpit.

well the only thing that scares me is the guy that said he has a 34" inseam. Because that is me... but at 6'2" and 220 pounds (+/- 5 pounds depending on dinner) and I sat in one, the only thing that bothered me was how close my leg was to the steering wheel on the left leg (clutch for those of you that don't know left from right, j/k) I was however able to move the clutch in and out fairly easily. come spring time, pending the sale of my other car I will attempt to take one on a long test drive and see how I like the car...

6'1", 215 lbs, 34" inseam

I've put 50k miles on the car in 4 years, including at least 3 trips from LA to Phoenix each year (also LA to Laguna, LA to Thunderhill, LA to Vegas, etc). The car is actually a very comfortable driver for me. My only complaint size wise is the inability to see stoplights at some intersections. Oh, and lack of elbow room for my left elbow should I choose to release my two handed grip on the wheel. The 04, however, does feel more spacious side to side than my older model. The seats also feel a bit different too.
