Lol I did in 2012 for Honda Day. It Wasent that bad had a pillow, blanket and portable DVD player. Even my girl was able to sleep nice and tidy. There's was about 12 or 13 other guys that slept in their S's from S2ki metro NY/ NJ.

I bought a small backpacking tent and sleeping back specifically to avoid this on trips. Fits in the spare tire area, or the tool box well.

Tried once and couldn't do it. YMMV. It's just something you have to try for yourself.

Not enough reclining for me, nor enough leg room.

After a down and back trip to Vegas in 2010 I did catch about 45 minute of sleep. Had ear plugs in, jacket for pillow and let my then wife drive. I was on 3-4 hours sleep, had spent the day at the speedway in 100+ temps and was already dosing off while driving.

I wouldn't attempt to sleep in the car again.

The problem with sleeping in the S, like many cars, is driving off the road. Just can't get enough sleep eye for me.

I tend to curl up in a ball when I sleep.. I think I'd have better luck trying to curl up into the trunk well.

+1 on the not enough recline. Seat back hits rear wall, no more room to recline. Moving seat fwd to try to get more recline room you quickly run out of leg room.

I can do it, but only for napping. Being an old guy doesn't help either.
