Just wondering how many S2K drivers are tall - ie: Over 6ft (182cm)

I'm 193cm tall and I always hear stories about how cramped the S2K is inside - is it really that bad?

What about with a hardtop?

Im 185, about 6.1 or 6ft. And if I was any taller, i wouldnt be driving an s2k.
But best thing to do is just sit in one and see for yourself.

i am kinda big and tall. and everytime i drive my s2k i feel very uncomfortable.
i alwayz drive with the top down. just go try and sit in 1 and see how it is.

i'm around 6'4 and hate driving my mates s2k... Not very comfy at all for tall guys. My mates are about 5'10 and find it pretty comfy

my Boss is a Fking Giant, he put up with a S2k for 3 yrs, just fit, he was happy with it, but he had to be selective with what shoes he purchased as with regular giant shoes, he pressed two pedals at one time.

im 180cm and I think the headroom is easily adquete, but if u were any taller i think u'd find the legroom not so good...

when i drove one it wasnt my height that was the problem, (184) it was moreso the shoulder room that was abit cramped

Probably a bit late... but im 6'4 and don't find it too bad.

I need the seat right back, and getting in/out isn't exactly the fastest operation, but I can drive quite comfortably.

I guess the only two issues are that:

1) using the sun visors means I can only see about 2m in front of the car, so not particularly safe!

2) my height makes it a bit hard to use the pedals as smoothly as I'd like, cos my feet are always pushed right into them.

Apparently the hard top gives more headroom, altho I don't really think this should be an issue, it is legroom which is the limiting factor.

It also depends on whether you have long legs/short body, or short legs/long body.

depends on posture too:)

Fair call mate, the seats aren't particularly designed for those with a slouchy posture.

width matters as well
