I am 6'2" 200 lbs. Head clearance is not a problem at all (surprisingly). You do have to duck down to see some street lights with the top up, but everyone has that problem.

Stop by a dealership and sit in one.

I'm 5'10" and agree with SiK182, I am surprised you big guys fit as well as you claim. I fit almost perfect. I guess the Stook is an ergonomic success.

6'1", 33" inseam, 230 pounds. Never had a seat fit like this one, sort of like they made a mold of my butt. Only one caveat, I put 1" spacers under the front of the seat for calf support. This rig needs slightly longer seat bottoms(all jap units seem to suffer this idiocy) with some front height adjustment, manual lift is ok thank you.

Going to lose my license driving this car!!

I am 6'3" at 200 lbs abt 34+ inseam and fit fine. Biggest problem is at redlights but I noticed today that I just got use to it in the truck! As a upper limit my son is 6'6" almost at 210lbs and he just doesn't fit in it. Now with him at age 20 isn't that just too bad Just kidding but since he does have a Z28 convertible oh well! I was like several others and based on the spec for headroom had decided I would never fit. Guess what - WRONG! Its a blast.

I'm 6'5" with a 36" inseam. I've put the seat up a notch or two to get my head down a little. I have some head room with the top up but who ever puts it up. When I put it down my head is above the windshield and gets beat up by the wind. It's comfortable for long drives but I put the top up if I'm going to take a drive of a couple of hours on the interstate as my head doesn't like to get beat up for that long.

A lot of cars are just cars to me but this one is one of two or three really special ones that I've had. The car has some weaknesses (plastic rear window, radio) but I don't care about them. Who plays the radio when you can play the car like a musical instrument?

A final word. If you're tall, make sure you get a black car. They're bigger, faster, and meaner and make you look better than any other color.

ok, i went by a dealer today, adn i had plety of legroom, and plenty of headroom.. IF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ADJUSTABLE.

actually the steering wheel in the m3 isn't adjustable either..the thing is, the s2k is tighter, meaning i can't kick my legs out too much..

hehe, the one i sat in today was a black one, seemed liek it had more room then the silver red i sat in very good optical illusion.

I think i could make it fit.. / get used to it, getting in isnt' really that big of a deal, but if you can't open teh doors all the way, i could see it being a problem.

anyway, i basically fit in it, i am gunna take a decent test drive and see how comfy it is for me.. as i said, it is almost the exact same as my m3, so .... it isn't that far off, just i guess not having a rear seat makes it seem tighter.
