Probably the best advice is to test drive one. It won't be spacious, but people as large or larger have done it.

Here's an AP1 vs. 2 thread recently in our local subforum.

Yes, you will fit. How comfortably is another question, depends on how you are built. I am 6'2" as well, but only about 215lbs. Inseam is 36". I fit well enough to drive the car comfortably, but my head will tap the top going over bumps. If the seat were an inch or so lower (easily done with aftermarket seat rails/or seat and rails) it would be perfect.

However, I do not drive my S daily either. I think the tight fit would bother me more if I did. Keep that in mind during your test drive...

Can't be comfortable to fit at that size. I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs and the car fits me perfectly, any tighter and it would no longer be comfortable. It was definitely built with guys my size in mind...most other Hondas appeal better to the American public.

Haha you'll fit.

My friend drove my S over the weekend. He's 6' 7". I'm not saying he was comfortable, but he fit, and he drove over 100 miles and enjoyed every minute of it.
