Hi all,

I have a new S2k waiting to clear customs and have not even sat in one yet... The thing is that the dealer doesn't have a demo or even a used car for me to play with so I am a little concerned if I will fit.

First does the car have a tilt steering column?

Secondly I am a big guy 5'11" 275lbs does anyone have problems driving the car?

Thanks for the help.. The car should be in early next week.

 

No

 

I don't think you will have a problem driving the car, but keep in mind that the max load capacity of the s2k is 400lbs (total of passengers and cargo). Hopefully you have a petite girfriend with a very small handbag. Good luck and have fun!

 

I'm 6ft and 240....it fits me like a glove

 

Are you serious??? I better stop going to Wendy's. But seriously.. it's 400lbs total?

 

I'm 5'11" 220 and wouldn't want to be any bigger! I'd say get a treadmill!

I don't think the steering wheel will be an issue, it's just the seat and maybe the door will be snug. You won't be moving much. You might kind of struggle putting your seatbelt on. Getting into the secret compartment might not be smooth either. You'll be fine!!!!

 

Not really hard to believe, since the trunk would probably hold maybe 50lbs of cargo (unless you're carrying cement bags) and the 350lbs divided up between the passengers. But people have towed boats with the S, so few more pounds above the recommended load cap would be ok.

BTW, where do you live that you can't even get an S to test drive? I'd have gone to the Auto Trader just to see what it felt like. Anyway, good luck with the new car.

 

a glove with holes

 

I live in New York City.. But I am willing to drive a bit to at least sit in it. Kinda sucks... But my other car is about to give up the ghost unless I want to do an engine swap and by leasing the car I can expense it.

 

I dunno about that. I lived with my gf out of state for a summer when I had my S and packed the trunk to the BRIM to get up to her place. I guarantee I had more than 50lbs of stuff in the trunk. Drove it 1000 miles each way like that without my entire life ending up strewn across the highway.
