its has its advantages, and disadvantages (for example potentially not being able to fit in a s2000 )

nope you won't; i'm close to 6'3" and can't. my knees have a hard time tucking under the steering wheel. I got to drive it somehow and it was fun; but i wish it was a little bigger!

Everyone is built differently. I know a guy with an S2000 and he is 6'4", he claims he is comfortable.

I used to own one back when it came out in 1999 2000 model year I am 6'2 and I ended up selling it after about a year because my knees would be killing me after driving it for over 20mins and with the top up forget it I just about never had the top up....

I'm 6' 3" with long legs, and I seem to fit okay when I sit in one (which is almost everytime I'm at a Honda dealer). Of course I never drove one.

I think it depends on your torso. Long torso, may fit... long legs... maybe not.

I could barely ride comfortably in my friends ride and I'm 6'3 215.

I tried backing it out of the driveway once and was waayyy too tall to be able to use the pedals right.

I would worry about width if the driver is a large dude... My father can't even touch the back of the seat when he get in my S2K.... He's more comfy in the NSX (according to what he says)....

Go try it...

NO CRAP... dude i do not fit in this car, i am LITERALLY at the very end of the spectrum of people who could technically fit

my knees are basically touching the dash, i have to push the clutch in just to fit my hand into the area where you roll up the window... wierd thing is I actually fit better in the driver seat then i do in the passenger seat

I don't have much to add because I'm only 5-11 and fit in it fine, but I never realized how many tall people post on this website.

I'm 6'3..and i can sit in it at the dealership and drive it for 5 minutes, but the knees rubbing against the dash is just too much. I wanted that car so bad. I contemplated sawing my shins off, but no luck. It has alot to do with how you're built though. If you're tall from the waist up, there might be a chance for you. There are a couple of 6'5+ guys on s2ki.com
