Give me a break if you feel claustrophobic in your S2000... I love the feeling of a tight cockpit though, it feels like I'm in a TI Fighter

You should go rent one for a day. Drive it and see how YOU like it. I may fit and feel fine but you may not. Just go do it for yourself and find out. Do not buy it and regret it. Thats the worst that can happen.

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.
Once you get use to the tight fit you'll feel like you're wallowing around in other cars.

The tight fit helps hold you in place during spirited driving, so it is really a plus on this kind of car.

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.

I do feel castrophobic some times. I mean, it's a tiny car.

but once the top goes down, it feels a lot better.

I have a broad shoulders, so I feel really cramped with the windows up and top up. That would be my only beef...

that and the right leg room. That plastic piece for your knee, just hurts after a while. They should of put a padded leather on that instead of a hard plastic.
