6', 235lbs. The S2000 is the smallest car I considered buying--I actually wish the car was wider, like the newer models.

For some reason, I don't have that "bony butt" problem some of you are experiencing...

My suggestion to Dean is take some receipts out of his wallet--didn't George have to do that on Seinfeld? Either that, or get a man-purse.

Put some padding in your rear pockets.
Or get some padded shorts like the bikers ware.

There are no receipts in my wallet, and removing my wallet from my pocket only helps a little. I think the seat discomfort is deliberately designed into the seats - a Pacific Rim based conspiracy against people of height.

"The dreaded Honda arse"... I'm glad I've never had this condition. The seats on this car fit me perfectly. But, then again, like Rob and Liz, I'm a fairly small person - 5'4".

Rob, I thought I saw your picture reposted in another thread- do you have totally white hair (like me), standing next to your son? You look taller than 5'2" in the picture, even though you are leaning forward. Or was that someone else? Shows how first impressions can be off...

Maybe if you stood up straight, you'd be more than 5'2"!

I am 5'10" and the only complaint I have is I would like to be able to move the seat a bit further back.... 1 or 2 inches would be perfect ...

Morris.... I like your dog.... I am a big fan of German Shepherds.....how old is he/she?

See the pet thread for current pics. She is 4 1/2, about 85 pounds. See www.cooldownunder.com for the breeder (we are related).

If you are going to wish for something I would suggest a different target. The newer S2000 increased the shoulder room by a wopping 1/2". Certainly not worth mentioning in their description of so called improvements, but they did and insiders at Honda even laughed about it.
