I'm 5'9, 165 lbs and have room to spare. Had a guy about 6'4 250 approach me as I was getting into my car at super market and ask if he could sit in my car. I asked why and he said he has an S2k silver on order but never sat in one. He got in mine with seat back, then seat up and back reclined and this guy would need to have a personal chiropractor on call if he buys it. He said he is going to cancel the order based on this test as he just did not fit. I felt like telling him, based on his size, how can you be so stuped as to not find a stook somewhere and try it out before plopping down the deposit but older wisdom prevailed as he looked like a middle linebacker.

I'm 6'5" and it's a comfortable fit with the roof up. I'm 220 lbs and feel good in it, not too cramped and all the switches and stuff are just right.

6'2" and 240 lbs. Snug but comfortable enough to drive as often as I can find an excuse to be in the driver's seat.

I'm 6'3, 220 and whenever I've gone to a dealership and sat in one I fit nicely, but I haven't been driving. One thing I know is that it's much much better than the Boxster. I could not even get into the car, couldn't swing my legs in it was so small. I do have a question though, is there any anymore room for the passenger? I would imagine there is because of the lack of pedals but I'm worried that when I get this car I will have a hard time taking my 6'2 father for a ride.

6'3'' and I fit perfectly.
My left knee touches the centre console but it's not a problem at all.

6'3" 210#, no problems at all. The S2k seats are so low that I have plenty of headroom, though the legroom is a bit short with the amp behind the driver's seat.

There is a technique to getting in and out if you have long legs, and the passenger seat has significantly less space than the driver's seat.

Wow, someone dug up an old thread

I have my car now and at one point managed to fit my friend Rob (a giant) in the passenger seat....with the top up He is 7' tall exactly and weighs about 245 lbs. We only went about a mile, his neck was bent forward and his shins were against the dash. He owns a suzuki sidekick BTW, the only car he could fit into and afford at the time
