My first post here. I'm buying a used 2001 on Wednesday if the mechanical inspection doesn't turn up any problems. I can't wait!
I am 6'2" (chinese, we're not all short!) and if I don't want my knees to touch the console I have to tilt the seat back up and push the seat back. Then I can't see the tach past the steering wheel, but that's what my ears are for, right?
I had a '94 DOHC VTEC del sol that got stolen while my friend was driving it. I was borrowing his NSX while he was driving his first "convertible". (I think I got the better end of that trade...) It turned up later with the seats and motor missing :( But ever since that car I have dreamed about owning a topless two seater again!

I'm 6'2", which in my opinion is a little tall for the S. If I'm stopped underneath a traffic light and I have the top up, I have to bend my entire body in order to see the light change. Also, I can't shift as fast as I would like due to my knee hitting the steering wheel.
It would be great to have another inch or two of leg room and seat up/down adjustment.
