I'm 6'1" 200lbs (medium build, broad shoulders) and most my height comes from my legs. I have to slide the seat back as far as it will go, then I have to adjust/lean seat back. With my late '05 AP2, I couldn't fit in the car with a helmet unless the top was down. With the CR, I don't have to lean my head to the side, but the helmet still touches. If I were any taller, I don't think I would fit the way I'm proportioned.

Redlights, or anything you have to look up at (as mentioned before), can be a pain with the top or hardtop on. You will just have to drive an S2000 around in many different scenarios to figure it out. I have a brother-in-law who is slightly taller but fits better than I do.

Compared to an FD ... get the S2000 (no comparison) if you plan to drive a lot. If its a 2nd or 3rd car and plan to mod, I would lean towards an FD (person pref).

Unless you have a desire to own an FD (like I do), I think the S2000 is still the better choice, even if you plan to mod

 

thanks alot! im built the same way. also, i have an fj cruiser for my daily so the s2k will be the weekend auotx/track car lol. i like the looks of the s2k more so, but it seems asthought from a performance standpoint, both cars are equal...with reliability leaning towards the honda lol

 

I'm ~6' 5" and 220. I fit fine.

 

If the redlights seriously bothered you, you could try some lowered seat rails, or if it bothers you that you are so tall in the car. I was thinking about seat rails, but I really don't mind my car as it is right now. Like it might bother you for a couple of weeks or a month, but after that you will get used to the occasional leaning forward. Like its not a problem if you are the second car at the light or farther back, although of course tall cars block your view of the light as well .

 

lo yea...its the same way in my fj. the windshield is almost vertical and it is like a foot and a half tall...so stoplights suck lol. i have a pair of brides that i took of of my rx8 that i plan to install. how much to the lowering rails lower the car?

 

I too am 6'3" & about 215lbs Im really happy with the S2K after you get used to it it really is a very comfortable car IMO

I plan on doing the mod to lower the drivers seat a couple inches because if Im the first car in line at an intersection I usually have to hunch/lean down a bit to see the light it isnt a big inconvenience but I will be happier once I dont have to do that anymore

Good luck with your decision

I too had two cars in mind when I bought my s2k and an FD rx7 was the other car...

Im positive I made the right decision

 

Thanks man, I'll give it a try.

 

The seat rails would be an illegal mod for A-Stock (SCCA SOLO2). I wish they would allow this under the "comfort and convenience" clause, but not as of yet. I try not to drive it in traffic or d-town. Its pretty much a weekend & auto-x car. My dd is a Pilot, so the S2000 is never going to compare in comfort and visibility.
