With the top down, YES! With the top up, I couldn't say, it might be a squeeze, best to test drive one.

I don't think you'll fit but the test drive will confirm. I'm 6'3.5" and I'm pushing the envelope. It's a great enough car to consider fabrication.

I'm 6'2". I wouldn't want to be any taller and own this car.

I am 6'3" and weigh about 280, I am probly one of the largest s2000 owners out there, but I love it.. I bought it when I was around 320 or so and I had problems with my right knee.. that has gone away now however..

I have about an inch of clearance when the top is on..

also I have trouble seeing stop lights because the window frame is in the way..

I'm 6'3.5" and 240 and I feel that I'm at the upper limit. I had a Z3 previously and had plenty of room, but I doubt that even you would fit in that with the roof up. Matter of fact, the first time I tried to fit in the s2k, I didn't so I quit looking at them. Several months later I saw another one in a showroom, I tried again and fit fine. When I spoke to the salesman he asked if I tried to put the seat down in the other one. Oh well live and learn, the seat goes up and down along with forward and back. Good luck! !

I'm 6'6" and I take my shoes off to drive. Only real difficulty is the doors don't open very wide. I had a Fiero for eight years, so used to the routine of the shoes. It is somewhat tighter than the Fiero.....but what a car. If it were any other car, I wouldn't have bought it because of the room. But, I am comfortable in it...just have to make sure the radio door is closed or it'll bother your knee. I'm also thin at l85 lbs, so that might help. Go on a diet and buy one!

6'5" with 36" inseam and it fits like a glove with the top up and down. I move the seat forward a little to lower my head some. It's fine on long trips. I have a feeling that your head is going to be into the top with the top up. Try it out; it's a great car.
