Default Do Big Guys Fit?

Would a 6 ft 2 in person be comfortable driving a s2000 for an extended distance?

Damn, this amazes me.. I had no idea that so many tall/big people drove our car. I'm only 5'8 165 and I sometimes feel a bit cramped.

I am 6"2 , 190Lbs, and I can't imagine somebody bigger than me fitting comfortably.
I test drove an S2K this weekend for about 30 minutes, and that is actually the first I thanked god for not being taller.
I fit nicely inside, but my legs barely strectch all the way. I think that the reason is that the space between the door and the transmission tunel is so narrow.
Headroom was not a problem whatsoever with the top up.

All I can say is that while driving it I quickly forgot about this, and all I could do was smile like a silly boy

I am picking up my 2002 Silver/Black this Saturday ..............Yoohooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck!

seriuosly it is a sports car and being a big guy my whole life, i have come to expect being tight, but the s2k is very comfortable once your in. my last sports car was a 1972 mgb gt, now that was very fun getting in and out of.

I'm 6'1" and it's fine . The only real problem for long trips is that
I can't get my left knee to fit between steering wheel and door, so I can't 'flex' the leg on a long trip.
The other problem is I need the seat all the way back and the seat back all the way back and that makes the seat back rub on
the top sides and it's bound to wear out too soon.
Also the head sticks out over the roll bar.
BUT: It works for me!
