depending if your height is in your legs or your torso, your head would probably even stick over the top of the windshield... lol
im 6'3'' and 215 lbs. i have no problems with the S top up or down

When I first got the S my son drove it a couple of times and was not comfortable. He's never come back to ask for a spin. He's 6'6" and 230.
I would say, no, the S will not be something you'll enjoy.

5'9 205lbs, sits comfortably, but getting out is sumtimes difficult, have to push on the steering wheel ...but being 6'6, itll probably be tough and uncomfy

6'5 300lbs doesn't seem that overweight to me. If you said 5'6 300lbs I would have commented as well.

I'm not directing this at you, but if someone posts there height and weight on the internet, they should be ready for someone to comment on it. That is, if it has a large deviation from the average.

Knowone posted about being 300lbs or more and over 6 feet because they wouldn't be comfortable owning the car IMO.

I'm 6'5" - 220lbs. - fit just fine.

However, I think your distribution of upper torso vs. lower torso has a huge impact on whether you will fit or not.

^^Agreed, Im 6'4 225 and fit, but my friend who is 6'4 200 cant fit at all. His torso is way too long. So yea, just go down to the dealer and sit in one.

If you are 6' 5" and 300 lbs you are a fat ass, plain and simple. I guess if you are an offensive lineman it's cool but 300 lbs? Guess it's the American way

I'm 6'2" 160 and I fit perfectly fine. Long trips hurt my back and knees but all my other cars did too. My buddy is 6'8" and he can' fit in my car with the top up and when it's down and he is in it he sits moderately sideways to fit. It doesn't look comfortable. However he fits perfectly fine in his new BMW Z4.

I've always thought, if i was over 6' i will look for something else.
i try not to give ride to anyone over 6' and taller
they tend to scratch the plastics, side frame, and back of the seat from trying to get the seat farther back..
