Default Thinking of purchasing - driving position

Was wondering if I could get some feedback from some s2k owners. Took my first test drive in an 06 yesterday and loved the car. I was concerned, however, with how snug the driving position actually is. I just got rid of a TT that had quite a bit of room to maneuver in the seat. I have a 95 accord that I

People up to 6'1 or so report fitting fine and 165 is not a problem. My son is 6'6 and he won't even get in the car (too tight). It does fit somewhat like a glove but it is known to be very confortable and a good feel while driving on the twisties.

Yeah, I liked the feel at first too. My test drive lasted about 20 mins. By the way, the s2k compared to the TT is like night and day. Just a great driving experience. Toward the end though, was getting a bit claustrophibic.

I am 5'11" and 215 (not to much fat either) and fit great, but I had to drive back from Florida to Ohio when I purchassed the car. I will admit that the last couple hundred miles I had to stop and stretch my back every hour or so.
