5'11" and 200 lbs. I have never had a problem with headroom. I would imagine that I'm not even close, though it would be interesting to see what taller drivers have to say. I've also never had a problem with the width of the driver's compartment(yet).

At 5'10" 180, I fit well. The car actually fits like a glove.

If I were much taller, I might not be comfortable, top up or down, because I have long arms and legs, and like to be positioned at maximum distance from both...

6' 4" 220 lbs. I found that by pushing the drivers seat forward a few inches then tilting it back and then pushing it back until it's just touching in the back I get the most room. My head clears the top by less than one inch. IMO it fits like a fine leather glove.

5'-10", 200lbs. The car fits like a comfortable pair of old shoes. The only problem I have is seeing traffic lights under the windshield frame; I have to duck down sometimes to see the status of the light.

I put the top down and watch the light above the windshield header .

S2000 has about 2 inches More headroom than a C5 vette.

Sometimes it's good to be vertically challenged. 5'6" here. I'm thinking I'll fit just fine. A little shorter and I bet I could find a way to have sex in my stook.
