hey whats up everyone ?
im seriously thinking about getting an s2000 but the only thing thats getting me to think about it more is the seating position ... it looks like your body forms a 90 degree angle when you sit down .. my question is can you be more layed back ? i reallly hope so .. thanks n advance guys take care

 

Why not sit in one and see for yourself? Seating position comfort isnt really something you can learn about via the internet.

My take: if you are wanting to "gangsta lean," then you probably wont be happy with the car. If you want a car that puts you in a good driving position with the wheel/pedals/shifter at natural locations, then it is hard to beat the S2k.

 

well im really not the type to "gangsta lean"... what i mean as far as being a little laid back, as in like if im taking a long drive some where would i beable to u know, just kick back like at least 2 or 3 inches. i really dont want to be at a 90 degree angle at all times lol.
oh yeah i would sit in one to see for my self but im in a gay ass state right now called michigan and im shipping out to the army soon so i wont get it till i graduate basic and ait so thats all . thanks

 

Hah I sit so my chin is level with the top of the doorpanel but im 5'8 so I guess I can't help it..

 

lol im not too much taller than you either . im 5 10

 

The stock seat reclines a lot, more so for shorter leg folks. The gangsta position is terrible for driving control.

 

Why do you need to recline?

The more the seat is forward on the track, the more room there is for the seatback to reline, if that answers it.

 

thanks alot guys
n oh yeah i dont gangsta lean lol . but if im taking a long drive some where i would like to be a little relaxed thats all . but thanks you guys helped out alot .. i guess i would be getting my s2k soon ..
take care

 

i drove 12 hours straight with the seat in its standard upright position. leaning back is more likely to make you tired and isn't any better for your back/posture, plus as others have pointed out the setup is optimal for steering/shifting/pedal reach.

that said i think you should be perfectly comfortable in the standard setup, but don't take my word for it. take one out for awhile once you have the opportunity and see how you like it.

 

As a few have mentioned, best thing to do is just sit in one. Your height, weight, and size are a few factors that will matter and it would be difficult for us to know exactly how much you want to lean back for you to be comfortable.
