I'm 5'4 or so and female. I've driven S2000s (though not on a daily basis) and never had any problem. In fact the car feels like it was built around me.

Go sit in one yourself.

To be honest... Japanese cars are made for little people... well... since they're not so tall. The S2000 has a great cockpit. Sit in one... hell drive one. I've seen my friend drive one... he's 6'7". He looked comfy. Although it seemed like his knees were steering the car.

I'm almost 6.2 and I fit perfectly in the car. Some people have longer legs and some have longer torsos. You really have to try it for yourself, don't go by what others say.

I'm 5'5", and it's comfortable for me. When I have my arm out the window, it's kinda like I'm shrugging with one arm though
