I graduate college in Dec 04

Among some of the cars I plan to look at are:
EVO
WRX/STI
S2000
350Z

I know, layout wise they differ, but they are all sexy in my book and have their pros and cons repsectively. I plan to drive them all, well maybe, and heres the problem:

Whichever I get will be my "weekend warrior." Just a summer/spring/fall cruising around in car. If I get this job I have lined up I will be able to afford these without problem. My daily will still be my 99 Si, I might go back to stock suspension and exhaust to make it a bit more daily tolerable, but it looks great and runs great, gets great gas, is decently quick, and I dont see why I should get rid of it to make room for something else, I mean I daily drive it now.

On to my problem. I went to the Philly auto show to sit in the 04 S2000, and well, no luck. I am 6'-6'1" or so tall and about 210lbs, not a small guy. With the seat back I couldnt get in, couldnt get my knee past the wheel for the life of me. Since the roof was down I, "stepped over and in." Once in I had plenty of room and was actually quite comfy. However, I couldnt deal with that and I can say it is enough for me to not buy the car. I know some cars can have the seat rails modded to slide a bit further back. If this thing had 2" more leg room I would be set.

BTW: I sat in all the others at the show and getting in/out of them was easy as pie. I love hondas and the S2000 would be up at the top, especially since I would like to lease this car and the STI/EVO dont have lease options.

I need a diet plan....

 

im 6'2 185lbs...fits me like a glove....kinda sucks on long drives and getting in and out in tight spaces sucks sometime too...other than that...its all good

 

i know some people have either bought seats that sit lower to the ground, or made some little adjustments to the seat so they would sit lower.

 

I'm 6'2" and 200lbs. The 00-03's I can barely squeeze into and my knees dont allow me to turn the steering wheel at all. With the 04, its marginally better and definitely driveable as a second car. All thats left is for me to get over the 8k rpm redline

 

im 6'1 though i dont own one i drive them a lot and i lvoe them...
side note i weigh about 170- 180

 

lots of leg room in this car
im 6 foot tall

 

I'm 6 2 as well... car fits "me" well.

 

i think its more width thats a problem, i fit better in the car without the whole winter coat thing and everything... i lost 40 pounds this winter so i fit much better

 

My fiance is 6'2 215 lbs. He fits great.

 

I'm having a hard time seeing how every other person that is 6'2" has no problem fitting in the car and I do. I mean, when I sit in the 00-03, I can practically stick out my tongue and lick one of my knees
