I just bought mine about a month ago and have driven it about 1,500 miles since then. I'm 6'5" with a 36" inseam and find it very comfortable. I've got to kind of sweep my legs up and around to get in. My head is above the windshield but I don't care.

I fit better in the S2K than in the Boxster or Z3. The leg room is better.

I just got mine today. I think I am a bit too tall at 6'1". Very comfortable, although I wish the seat was lower.

My friend is 6'4" and I hear his agony every time he tries to get into the passenger seat. Once in, he has zero room to move his knees. He's a huge fan of the car and I'd let him drive it, but his knees make a sort-of vise around the steering wheel (that is, the one time he tried to sit in the driver's seat). I feel sorry for the poor guy.

One way to gain an extra inch is to have the seat cushion removed and replace with a thinner one,then re-upholsted useing the cover they have taken off.Subsequently get the trimmer to give you a two tone job at the same time while every thing is striped down.RESULT: lower seat and a personalised trim.
