So right now I've got a 2000 S2k... love it to death, but I'm commuting around 100 miles a day, and I'm finding that I'm suffering from japanese car syndrome more and more.

"JCS" is what I call the problem that I have "fitting" into most Japanese cars without telescopic wheels. My legs are relatively longer than the rest of me, so I typically end up sitting too far from the wheel. At present, I have to get the seat as far back as it will go in the s2k just to get reasonably comfortable for long distance travel.

I know the newer models have tilt wheels, but that isn't going to help me much. I'm just curious if the interior dimensions have changed at all in the newer models or if I can expect the same leg room. Because if it's the same, I'm likely going to have to find other accomodations before my knees give up on me.

 

It's a tight fitting small car regardless of model year. I had one for 3 years and always felt claustrophobic and I'm only 6'1" 200lbs. My current car is much roomier , faster, more incognito from the cops and haters but sadly does not corner as well although it's much easier to drive fast in the rain with it's traction control. Your best bet is to find another ride and keep those memories alive.

 

Which year model has a tilt-wheel? I wish my 2005 did

 

I don't think any of them have tilt wheel

 

My 2004 doesn't have it either and I sure wish it did!

Boosted04S2k has it right. No S2000 has a tilt wheel unless Honda's put it on the 2006 models and no one has noticed yet.

Drive Safe,
Steve R.
