I'm 6'5" about 215 and no real issues even with head clearance, although for me it is a snug fit.

Hey Ryan, this is Matt (formerly) with the Silver AP1 at the Fairgrounds AX. Glad to see you're considering an S2000.

I'm 6'2" and haven't had any problems with legroom. In fact I recently upgraded to an 2007. I did just notice that my seat is as far back as it will go (long legs), so depending on just how much you like to recline it may or may not be quite enough.

Bottom line, for me (6'2", 160lbs) it fits great.

i'm 6'3 215 and have basically the same scenario as you do in your porsche. it's a daily driver for me, and no it's not ideal, but i love the car and it's worth the sacrifice. it's not uncomfortable, it's just not perfectly comfortable, if that makes any sense. the only way you'll really know is to get in and out of one a few times, and sit in one for a little while. as evidenced by this thread, all 6'2s aren't created equal. there is no way in hell that i could move my seat up a few clicks.

I'm 6'3" and 234 lbs, and my seat is currently all the way back but I have gotten used to the upright seating position. The biggest drawback is not being able to see lights change, and the biggest advantage is my eyes are shielded against the sun when most other drivers have to use their sun visors. In the past I used to be 1 click up from the back then would tilt the seatback as far it would go. It's possible to daily drive and go on long trips with either option. Its a tight fit, but not to the point where you find yourself worrying over it every time you go on a trip. Now, on those occasions I have let other people drive my car, I'm astonished at how little room there is on the passenger side compared to the driver side. I'm always uncomfortable over there.

I'm having a very hard time imagining someone 6'4" and over 250 being able to daily drive this car though, I must admit. Girls are always asking me how I fit in my little "cute" car, and I always say that there is alot more driver side room than it looks like at a glance.

6"3" 220 fit the s2k MUCH better than the Pcar. I sit 2 notches from the back even...BUT top up with a helmet is impossible.

6'3'' 235 Fit fine with seat all the way back and upright. It would be nice to have another inch of leg room though, but its all good
