Default In market to buy a s2k, im 6'2" tall, will I fit?

I know its a dumb question, but my dealership is giving me a good deal for a honda s2000 and I cannot resist. Car is small but I never sat in it, they gotta get it in from another city. Is there anybody on here thats tall(er) and is comfortable sitting inside it? Im an proud owner of a 91 civic hatch and I can lean the seat back, but what about on this car?

dont think of me as a 'noob', i want some info before i buy it:p

Not really. I'm tired of looking out the very top of my windshield and having to break my neck to see traffic lights. You will fit, but it gets old quickly.

theorhetically you should fit, but the best way for you to find out is by going and sitting in one. just go to the dealership and sit in the first s2000 you see

alright guys, thanks for the info. but if i have to lean forward to see the lights than that might stop me from buying it. could the seats lean back?

The seats don't have a whole lot of give. And if seeing traffic lights is an issue who says you have to sit directly underneath a light. Stop a little before that so that you can see.

6'2", 200lbs, been daily driving mine for 2-3 years. (work is 2 miles away).

I have no issues- worth the small interior to have a go cart

i drive my friends from time to time. 6'2", 170 lbs. it would aggravate me as a daily driver. you cant recline or slouch in the seats at all or your feet will be under the pedals. they're fun cars intended to do a great job at what they were designed for... the track.

on a lighter note, if your reach is as long as mine. you can use the top of the door as an armrest and still have a good grip on the wheel

I want some new shoes. I don't know if a size 13 will fit. Should I buy one? Anyone else have feet? Help a brotha out.

I think the better question is, how wide are you?

I am 6'00 200 lbs @ 12-13% bf with broad shoulders and back and I felt uncomfortable just sitting in a few times. Needless to say it really pushed me away from pursuing a s2k unless I find some incredible deal to make up for the cramped space.

6'3" and 265 pounds. Just picked one up and DD it. I dont have to duck THAT much to see traffic lights, its not that bad really. My only annoyance is the hardtop makes for a big blind spot, but when I drive my friends s2k with the top down its no problem at all.

Honestly you shouldnt expect comfort out of an s2k its one of Honda's race cars, it was made to race before it was made to drive around

definitely buying an s2000 to track down the road after college but would never have it for a daily.
