Okay, well, this is how I can best word it so I dont sound like an idiot. I am a fairly large man, I stand about six foot three, and I weight in at about 280 pounds. I am a sales manager for a retail store, but I also have moonlighted as a bouncer in the past. To give you an idea of my stature.

My fiance owns a 2001 Miata, which I absolutely love, nice little zippy car. However, as she is graduating this May, I thought why not pick up a used S2000 for her as a surprise, being that her love for convertible cars might only come in as a close third behind shopping and the love for her family. I figured I would get on here and ask about how big of a person do you think can comfortably fit in the drivers seat of this car?

To put it into further perspective, I am able to barely fit in the drivers seat of her Miata, but I can drive it, short distances mostly because the car is a little too cramped. I havent had a chance to look at an S2000 in person so I thought i'd start here. Before my most recent bannage, I was on this site for 5 years being that i've owned various other Honda's, now i'm down to an accord coupe and a mazdaspeed6.

Anyhow, any input on how big of a man could fit in the drivers seat of an S2000 comfortably?

Thanks in advance for your help.

so basically you wanna know if you fit? if so the only way your gonna know is to try and drive it,

 

I say no way. I am 6'2" and 200 lbs. Height wise I am 1" from the bars on the top, and I just think the extra weight will be uncomfortable against the seat bolsters.

And there is less room for feet on the passenger side as well.

 

im 6'2 and about 250lbs and i fit fine in my s2000 i still have some wiggle room. i say yes, why dont you go test drive one

 

hahhah see thats y the S was made just for me.. 5'6" 160lbs... witha bucket and fit :insert ave ventura voice: LIKE A GLOVE
