Default Too tight of a fit for an S2000?

I've been thinking about buying an S2000 for a while. I've been looking around for some good deals and talked to my bank about getting a loan on one. I found a 01 with 43*** miles and a hardtop for $14,700. I'm thinking this is probably too good of a deal to pass up. However, while test driving it I felt like everything was really close to me and almost felt cramped. I'm a beefy guy and I have really broad shoulders. My question is, does it feel cramped to everyone at first? Or am I too big for an s2000?

By the way, don't tell me to lose weight. It won't help with how wide my shoulders are.

yea the "cockpit" is tight for some but perfect for me

it needs some getting used to but you will soon forget... there are a number of "big guys" that soak themselfs in butter and soap to get in and dont regret it

Everybody feels tight when they first sit in an S. You'll get used to it. When you get back into another car, you'll probably push the seat forward to emulate the sitting position on the S -- I do.

yeah I was going to pass up a deal cause I felt cramped...
even though I have a daily driver I got used to it.

I dont like the fact I cant really see the traffic lights sitting far back or watching the cross traffic light to turn red.

I had bone shaved off and had an organ reduction to fit. It was so worth it.

It was tailored to someone I you're height. I'm 6' and my head sits above the roll bare by just an inch or two. It would be perfect for you.
