Default Fitting into the S2000...

I'm 6"2'. I was thinking of getting a second-hand S2000. But since the S2000 is so small, I'm starting to doubt that I would fit in it. My friend also says that S2000s come with 4-way power seats (front, back, up, down?). Anyone in here that's my size and actually fits into this little thing? I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Haha, no. I own a '96 G20 and I have to slouch just to fit. So I was hopeless.

S2000s don't come with 4 way power seats. If you're 6'2", you will find the legroom inadequate. But why not just try it out by sitting in one?

See that's just not true. It's case by case. I have enough leg room but my inseam is 34". It's snug certainly, but not uncomfortable by any means. Everybody's different so you really have to drive one to see if it's doable. Especially when it involves us taller guys.

Not true. I'm 6'4 with a 36" inseam and I fit in the car. No it's not roomy, but it's not much different than any other car I've owned.

Go sit in one and see for yourself.

i just said that because I'm 5'9" and I find the legroom way too little for me. i can still push my seat back, but then I can't clutch comfortably. so yea i guess you gotta just sit in one and drive it to see for yourself. it shouldn't be too hard to go to a dealer that has one used and just try it out.

Exactly, that's what I was thinking to myself.

I'm 6'2 and I fit perfectly lengthwise... side to side is a different story. I have a 30" waist so I slide side to side in the seat when I turn hard I need a set of bride.
