Angry How tall are you?

I have not sat in a S yet (planning on heading down to the Honda stealership later this week). I'm going to assume that aftermarket seats will solve the problem for track days, but I'm concerned whether I'll fit comfortable until then. Btw, the first modification will be a hard top & the S will be used to commute 70 miles/day to the office [until I find a place closer to work], except on days that I will show properties/shuffle 2+ clients around/etc.

I'm 6'2" w/o shoes & 240 lbs. I've lost a lot of fat/weight in the past couple months and plan on that trend continuing.

I'm 6'3 and fit fine... at 6'2 you are going to have lots of headroom and legroom. The real issue will be the length of your legs compared to your arms. The car has a fixed steering wheel. If you have to sit with your seat all the way back (as I do), it's going to put the wheel further away than you probably are used to. Is this a real problem? For me, no. If someone had a bit shorter arms... maybe.

I'm 6-2,225 and fit fine. Due to the design of the seats you won't be moving around much. Good for the track I suppose but I find myself needing to get out and stretch more on long trips (over a couple of hours) than I would in the Acura. Probably not an issue on a 70 mile commute.
As OCMJ mentioned the steering wheel is fixed. The only driving position variables are seat tilt and seat distance from the pedals. Sit in the car and you'll know pretty quick if you can find a comfortable driving position.

I'm 6'2" with fairly long limbs. I wasn't able to heel and toe because I couldn't get my feet far enough off the floor to hit both pedals at once. My knee bumped into the steering wheel.

It's a tight fit, but you get used to it after a while. You really will need a test drive longer than 15 minutes to decide for yourself though.
