Default S2000 Question.

I went and checked out a 2005 S2000. And was pleased to discover it was a tiny car.

Then I sat in it, and being 6'4 I was a little tight, but still fine.

When I went to go raise the steering wheel, I couldn't find the switch. I don't know if this car even has a tilt steering wheel. This is the only thing keeping me from buying, my right knee hits the bottom of the wheel and the center console.

Cliff notes: Does a 2005 s2k have a tilt wheel.

no it does not. its actually perfect for my driving position (im 6'1). if you get some lower seat rails you could probably feel a little more comfortable in there

thats why she shouldve stayed in the kitchen

that being said, she should not be selling something she has no clue about. ive dealt with many car salesmen and women that have NO clue what they are selling. Simple things like, if the car im looking at has power seats or ABS.

I expect a New Car sales person to know everything about a car they are selling. It's asking alot for them to know everything about other makes and years of used cars. You need to research the car BEFORE you go to buy one.

for a couple hundred bucks ( way overpriced) you can buy some seat rails that are lower by a very small amount. Also some bucket seats manage to have a very low seating position as well.
