Default inside the s2000

so i went to the honda dealership today and sat in the s2000 for like to 20th time but i just keep getting the feeling i cant move. like i like that its small and all but its like im stuck and i cant move. im not fat, im 18 and i weigh like 155-160 and im like 5'9 but idk i just feel like im tight. is this a "transition" from being used to driving larger cars and something that i will adjust to? share you input please.

I'm 18 also. I'm about 6' and 185 pounds. I have long legs and broad shoulders. I have no problem in the S2000. You will definitely adjust to it. The first car I had was an Avalanche. After that I bought my Fiero and made the adjustment to a 2 seater. The S was no big deal after driving a Fiero for a couple years.

I'm 18, about 6'3'' and 260lbs. I fit just fine. The first time I sat in the car I was iffy about movability, but now I feel right at home.

Im 19, Tall and skinny about 6'2 and i have no issues with the car. At first i felt like the front end was super long and i was driving a boat, and messed with my depth perception. I have a few issues getting into my upper center con. But its a roadster, Of course its going to be like nothing you have ever driven...

150 5'11" and i have tons of head room and seat back space, it's a little tight fit but you will manage.

The tight fit is one of the things I love most about the S. I wouldn't have it any other way. It feels like a go-kart or some kind of open wheel racer, you're just solidly planted in place. That's part of what makes this car so fun to drive imo.
