Secret for tall people whose knees hit the steering wheel. Dont slide your seat all the way back, slide it forward two to three clicks then lean the back as far back as it will go. Viola, i finally fit in my car Still cant see traffic lights though. Im 6' 3" by the by.

that sucks, the s2000 is one of the few reasons I am happy not being any taller. I think 5'-10" is about as tall as you can be to sit comfortably in this car. maybe 5'11"...

It was annoying until i figured out the trick with the seat. I am comfortable in the car, to be honest, now my civic feels way too spacious for the traffic lights, im just lucky where i live they are all on the arcing poles with one mounted to the side and low, cuz thats the only one i can see

That's what I always say. at 5'11" I'm good, but I certainly wouldn't want to be any taller. My 6'4" and 6'8" friends look like clowns trying to ride in my S

I'm 6'5"
Lowered the seat bottom (search for the thread) and fit well. Could use some more knee room though. I'm not a fatass though, that would make fitting a bit harder.
