Thumbs up Tall S2ki owners

A friend of mine who is 6'5" is considering buying an S2000 so I let him have a drive of mine. He got in and out of the car ok, but it did look a little tight in the leg department. Having said that I'm sure there have been taller owners, so we were just wondering if the tall S2ki owners out there could identify themselves and let us know how they got on with a smallish cabin. Also how do you find longer journeys? (If you could include you height that would be helpful too)

Thanks!

I'm 6"2 and I find the only issue I have is the seat being relatively high so visibility isn't great. I have to crouch down a bit to see the traffic lights when I'm close

Same here...... If I was any taller than 6'2 then I would have possibly reconsidered this as a daily driver, it's at the limit for comfortable driving day in day out

I'm 6'6" and was fine - honestly. I was always a bit stiff (fnar fnar) after ~ 75 minutes, but am in many cars.

Mine was also a DD.

Worst thing about the car is the seating height. Im only 6' 1" but my head is above the roll hoops and I feel like im sitting on the car and not IN the car.

6 foot 5 here, and on our euro trips I've covered 600 miles + in a day. No complaints, with a stop every three hours or so.
