Hey S2000 owners...

Just a quick question... I've read some other posts, and it seems like the interior of the S2000 is quite small... I.e. my 6'3'' large body wouldnt really fit. I am willing however, for it to be a tight squeeze, and wanted to know what you guys thought... >will i fit? And FYI i sat in a Honda Beat today (wow!) and i fit there, though the steering wheel rests hard on my legs and i couldnt really use the shifter... D'oh! Oh and before you flame me, saying ''try it yourself''... I'm a P-plater, as if anyone would let me try... :cries:

Thanks guys!

6'3" hmmm could be a realtight squeeze. it will be definantly hardfor you to get in and out (it's a chore for me and I'm only 5'8" lol) But once your actually in there i think you'll be fine as there is HEAPS of headroom.

What do u drive now man? Watch out, mostly if you dont own it, people dont respond.

Im 6'3, maybe a tad over, but im skinny, and i fit in a s2000 fine, you just have to adjust the wheel and the seat to best suit you, i think as IRI stated, the head room will be excellent with the top down, its just basically getting in and out of the car that is a problem, but most japanese sport cars share this.

I have a friend who is same height as you (tall ****) and I let him drive it. Its a really tight fit and uncomfortable after a few minutes. Im 6'1" and for me its just perfect, if I was any taller id be driving some other car.
Sorry for the bad news dude.

There is no adjustment with steering wheel. And even with the top UP, there is another 2inch head room aprox even with a 6'3" person.

Good work honda, a non adjustable wheel. I never adjusted the wheel, but my knee's did hit the bottum of it, i assumed it was adjustable.
