I am 6,0 180 lbs. and fit with 1 notch left to go back with the seat. With seat all the way back, I have to stretch to depress the clutch.

6'2"

plenty of headroom and legroom

if you are a wider person (i'm not really) the cockpit will seem cramped, especially if you like to put your elbows out. also, if you are tall of torso (as opposed to of leg) you will sort of look "down" through the windshield, and some stoplights will be behind the solid frame of the window. you have to sorta crane your head to see them.

very minor inconveniences, it's a very comfy car if you like comfy cars. (as opposed to spacious ones.)

one more thing, is that if you have the seat *all* the way back, it will squeak like crazy. at least.... mine does. i had to get a piece of felt and cut it to shape and put it between the seat and the plastic rear portion of the cockpit. it was driving me crazy!

I have very long legs so my knees rub the dash, but I don't mind!

6'0+ I have long legs, but still need to move the seat a couple notches up so I am pushing the clutch all the way in. Very surpising leg and head room.

I'm 5'9" and my wife is 5"2". We fit fine in our 2001. My nephew is 6'3" tall, and has no problem riding with me. But I will say this: when driving a 2002 or 2003 with the glass rear window that cuts off the bottom three inches or so of view (compared to my 2001), both my wife and I had problems with rear window visability. That convertible top material that replaces the bottom part of the old plastic window just gets in our way. Wish they could have found a way to go to glass without making the window smaller.

Thanks,
Richard

I am 6'3" and weigh about 235. The cockpit is tight, but not overly so. I looked at lots of convertibles before buying this one. Couldn't fit in Porsche Boxster, Audi TT, etc. Sat in Corvette Convertible - by the time I got the seat to my liking, the windshield frame was about 6 inches from my forehead and at perfect height to take of the the top of my head in a crash. Sat in the S2000 - fit me just fine, then drove it - bought it that afternoon.
