Default Does IT fit?

It being ME, my question is naturally. Do i fit the car?

I am 192 cm tall ( 6.3 feet ), I am interested in the 04' model.

Any comments regarding that lenght in the s2000 04 is appreciated. Downsides and upsides that is.

I'm 6'1" and weigh 195 lbs. The seats are relatively snug, but not too tight as for the height with the top up- I have about 2-3 inches from the top of my head and the top.

6'1 3/4", 190 pounds, fit is wonderful, especially after a Miata! Now that was tight!

Worse case scenario, you could lower your seat as some have done http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.p...?threadid=50658 . Myself I like the seat just like it is

6'4" 195 lbs.

I picked up an '04 about a month ago. I had read about the increased interior elbow room on the '04 and was optimistic about the fit. Getting in and out of the car is a little bit of work, but once I'm in -- it's fantastic!

I have about an inch above my head with the top up. On the highway with the top down, I don't doubt that I'm catching quite a bit more wind than most drivers but hey -- it's a convertible, right? The leg room/comfort is sufficient (as long as I keep the stereo door closed!).

Overall, I'm thrilled with the fit and everything else about the S.

Hope this helps.

I'm 6ft 210lbs and have a MY01. The only real problem is the visibility of the signal lights... have to duck down to see them.

6'6" here and i have driven my friend's S numerous times ( I love playing designated driver ) and with the above mentioned seat lowering mod, a smaller steering wheel, and removal of the driver's door pull... i believe I could have enough room to make it work as a weekend car.

I'm right now debating on buying one again... I have to go test drive a couple when I get back from vacation (i'm in greece right now and they are super rare here)... but I believe that i'm probably 60% leaning towards the S...

There are other alternatives for creating more room... but i like the stock seats and dont want to have to fab anything up just yet.
