6'2" and 2...much weight, and as long as I don't think about it I feel relatively comfortable. Ideally one notch back sliding or reclining and I'd be PERFECT. But being uncomfortable is just motivation to lose some weight :P

@LagunaPearlAP2 what part of Vancouver are you in? I don't think I've ever seen one around.

6' 1" and about 20lbs over my goal of 215 :-) I wouldn't want to be any taller. Seat fits like a glove, but it did take some getting used to for the view out the front and not having as much windshield above my vision.

In reference to my old stock ap2, I am 5'11" 170lb and fit perfectly. I've got friends who are 6'2" and dont find the s2k as comfortable as a shorter person.

I'm 6', 205lb and find it fits like a glove. I've never been "uncomfortable" driving it, even on a 6-7 hour drive. That being said it IS a sports car and I tend to be more lenient on my expectation of comfort lol. If anything I wish the seat was just 2 inches lower so I could be looking out the centre of the windshield rather than the upper third.

I am only 5'4" and I love this car for my size. I love sitting low. I have always had bigger cars like Mustangs and G-body cars so to hear that this car fits me perfectly from others was kind of hard to hear. I now feel shorter. lol

I am only 5'9 155lbs but I feel that is ideal range since it's like most Japanese guy size and this car obviously was designed for the Japanese =p I feel tiny in something like a Dodge Challenger though.

Im in a similar boat. I'm 6'3" and I'm looking to buy aftermarket seats which sit lower.
