I love this car.
Most girls love riding in my car...One buddy of mine who is 6'1" had a comment on the small interior but that's the only negative I've heard. The car is a driver's car...through and through...particularly to a driver who lives in a warm area with lots of curvy roads.
It would be an amazing car to own in Maui (where my brother lives)

In any case, I
my S2000 like the rest of you. She's been my only DD for the past 3.5 years and I plan on keeping her until she dies.

Your friend who is 6'1", did he only sit in the passenger seat? I'm 6'4" and fit fine in the Driver's seat but am too snug in the passenger side. There is definitely more room for the driver.
I'm 5' 8" and I think this car was built for drivers my size. Even just putting a 2" thick book on the driver's seat (to simulate a 6' tall driver's perspective) looses a lot of driver visibility.
I just love this car man. I test drove a new WRX STI, (Quick lil SOB). However, it'll never do it for me. It was way too quite (for some reason now any other car I drive now I just expect to hear the engine screaming). The STI wasn't as tight as the S. When I floored it through the gears, by the time it redlined I was like"that's it?".
All I have to say I'm so conditioned to the S, I think I'm scarred for life. I won't be satisfied with another car if it doesn't remind me of my S.

Putting a 2" thick book on the driver's seat wouldn't simulate a 6' tall driver's perspective now, would it? Anyhow, I'm 6"1' and the car fits me like a glove. It's like wearing pants. Very comfortable once you're seated. And, I can move my right arm freely, unlike in a Corvette C6...
Anyhow... Before getting the S, I made a promise that my next car would definitely have a GPS system, automatic climate control, V6 engine, higher seats etc... "Lack of amenities and features" all went away once I drove the S... I must admit though, what really sealed the deal was the transmission...
