I'm 6'4 tall and when I bought my S I was 293 lb. Since putting my baby to sleep for the winter time I lost 45 lb. I figured that its the best way to shave some weight off my car. So don't worry about your size cause it will fit like a glove. In my case it was more like a CONDOM but it will change soon , just 40 lb to go and summer arrives
good luck
good luck
Great Job, The Best Mod (weight reduction) for an S for sure.I'm 5'9" 195lbs and fit inside the S Like a Glove.

5'9 165lbs. and the S2000 is perfect, you get use to the size, like everyone says... it fits like a glove. once you get one, you'll never want to get rid of it. and if you do get rid of it, and its to buy a different car... your just plain stupid.

A) Damn, I felt lucky to be able to buy a 10-year-old Datsun that needed a ton of work when I was 21 years old. Where the hell are 18-year-olds getting all of this money?
B) You're right, the space is small. I feel (surprisingly!) very closed-in when I'm in the passenger seat in the S2000. However, it just doesn't feel that way in the driver's seat. When you actually take it out on the road, you'll discover that you've become so focused on driving and feeling everything through the steering wheel and your butt, the size of the cockpit is just right!

I don't know what age has to do with fitting in the car. I was 28 when I get mine, and have had it 3 yrs. Anyways, I loved it the first time I sat in it, and that was to drive it home. I'm 5'6" and weigh 125. I was driving and 85 mustang when I got the S, so it was a huge change. However, it didn't bother me, maybe because of my size, and the fact I was in the driver's seat. I sit way close because I have short legs, and the only thing that bothers me is knee room.
Good luck, save that cash, and go get you a go-kart
Fwiw, I bought mine withoutever sitting in one or driving one. Just went to the dealer, did the paperwork,and drove home

its either the S2000 or a DC5
those are the two cars im debating
my friend just got an 03 DC5 like two days ago and ive driven it a bunch of times. its a clean, quick and nice car. i like the feel of it also but i havent had a change to test drive an s2000
i dont wanna go to the honda dealer and do it cuz all they have here is NEW ones and i wanna drive an 04ish model. anyone live in VA?? 757 or in one of the 7 cities? lol
