6'2'' 210 comfortable. Passenger side leg room lacks a little. Have you test driven? I ask because a friend of mine, about your hieght has a little trouble with the depth of the seat when driving

b/c they're rare i guess...i don't work in new cars. i work at the service department at the dealership and when they bring down an s2k for a tech to PDI(pre-delivery inspection) they always let me put 10 miles on it. i love my job.

how old are you? that prolly has to do with why they wont let you drive them.. its not too easy to get a ride in a vette or a porsche either.. when i was 18 the nissan dealer wouldnt even let me drive a used 300z unless i had my credit run and approved, which of course i didnt want to do cause all i wanted to do was drive the thing.

yeah you have to fit the profile of a person who is there to actually there to buy one, not to go for a joyride. i know it sucks....discrimination against age.

I'm 6'1 and only 170lbs and I didn't fit. Wonder why. Is it the driving style? My knees bent and were touching the steering wheel with the chair all the way back. Just wasn't very comfortable.

I still dont understand how you guys that are 6'+ fit in the car. I'm 6'2", 200lbs with a medium build and I simply dont fit in the car. My knees hit the steering wheel and I have a difficult time trying to shift . I havn't test driven the car, just sat in it, but it will probably only get worse when driving.
