You have to go sit in the s2k not once but twice or more. The first time I sat in one it felt a little cramped but a week later I sat in another and the feeling of space opened a lot. I'm only 5'6" and 155 lbs though so YMMV. Like the others have said, search the forum for rail-mods since it can lower the seat 1.0-1.5" like this one: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...ic=627714&st=0
I golf as well an I can only fit my own set of clubs in and it's a walking bag, not a cart bag. Can't fit 2 unfortunately.
Clean Integra by the way. I had a stock 2000 GS-R which was then stolen, but that led me to getting my s2k.

im not convincing my self to get it i have to sell my mustang first and then im going to have to decide if i want to cash a used one out or go into payments again...... im just asking if to see if i was the only guy who wanted one but was worried about my height...... i appreciate everyones help does anyone have those seat rails installed on they're cars and a picture of before and after of you inthe car to see how much it really lowers you cause i really want one i just have to handle a few things before i do pull the trigger
good luck with your decision i know there are a few "big" guys driving s2ks. have you considered the new 370Z it's kind of like the japanese version of a mustang...only better
though more money than picking up a used s2k....

I had a 350 hp stang, I'm not really a huge car guy I just like driving something fun, don't care about brands or any of that.... I prefer the S2000. The stang felt extremely cheap, it didn't help that there was one on every corner, v6 or not they pretty much look the same which cheapens it even more. The S feels more like a "mini exotic" to me, you sit very low (good thing, IMO), 9krpm is very fun even with less power, it feels much better built and it is much more rare and turns more heads. You feel like your in a proper sports car in the S.
I'm an amateur bodybuilder, 5'9 230lbs, I can probably say I have the widest back on this site and I feel super comfy, the seats in the stang are like leather lawn chairs, you slide around all over the place, the S seats wrap around you and hold you in place no matter what, really adds to the fun experience. Height would probably be an issue though.

Ditto on the comments about a test drive. As with many cars, it's not just your height and weight but also your body type and personal preference. I know a scrawny asian guy who thinks the S is too tight, he likes to sprawl in an SUV.
I personally think the seats are too high and I'm only 5'7" (but I'm reluctant to spend for BYS seat rails or aftermarket seats).
