I'm 5'4" and I have no problems. However, I have noted that if I ever managed to roll the car (*shudder*) with one of my taller passengers on board, they could be in serious trouble.

Assuming that the windshield frame did not bend during the roll (which is likely would, but I would want to hear from one of the guys that has actually rolled their S2000 - I've seen a few posts on the subject), it seems that the unprotected head of a taller person is above the plane between the roll-bar and the windshield frame.

Wouldn't that potentially mean serious/lethal head injury with enough momentum? I've been wondering about that lately when my 6'+ friends go for a ride. Any thoughts?

6'1 and everything fits great, except when I pull up to a stop light the windshield frame is in the perfect postion to block the traffic light. Hard to pretend that I'm not watching for the light to change when I have to duck down to see.
