Default i am extremely tall

i am looking to purchase an S2000 and i am worried that i may be uncomfortable driving it everywhere since i am 6'5". the other problem is that i am only 18, so i may grow some more to 6'6" or maybe 6'7". should i not get an S2000 merely for this problem?

6'5" - too tall, IMO. But you can always go to your Honda dealership and sit in one.

6'4...230lbs...i wouldnt drive my wife's daily if you paid me, i enjoy nice mountain trips and stuff, and drives less than a few hours, anything outside of that, my legs are cramped, the seat has to be adjusted pretty much straight up (which adds more uncomfortable positions for you)...and your head will stick out of the top of the car (with the stock seats)...controls are all crammed around you. Its just not a tall guy friendly car.

I love the car to death...but i would have never bought it for myself given my height, and seeing your taller, id say keep on looking, unless you just love the car that much or you have a daily beater. If you have a daily beater...car is awesome.

Hmm... I know for Auto-x here, you can leave the top down and no roll bars are necessary. Even if you're on a road course, you just need a rollbar(at most courses I'm familiar with). Which means, all the headroom you'd want.

I am 5'11" and I have the seat almost all the way back, I think I have one more click back I could go. It's mainly going to be legroom not headroom that's going to bother you.

God, and I wanted and S2K for when I graduate.

I'm only about 6'1", but I am the size of someone 5' 8" sitting down, if you know what I mean.

Leg room is always a bit of a problem for me.

I'm 6'3" and skinny, i barely fit. I actually got a recaro spg seat with taitec rail to make it more comfortable. But even with this seat/rail combo i wouldn't recomend it to anyone taller than me.

^ I agree. Even at 5'11", I have a hard time looking up at the lights at a stop light. If I squat down a bit in the seat, I can see them pretty good. If I were 5'6", it'd be a perfect fit!
