Tall Guy - S2000

[Wayne1989]

Hey all!

After 3 years of good service from my Panda 100HP (Maybe I shouldn't mention Italian cars here?) its time for me to move onto my next venture.

Being 24 I think its time I upped the power and fun and S2000s have come onto my radar, as Ive yet to have a chance to view one I'm wondering what cabin space is like? I'm 6"6 and hoping I can still comfortably fit!

Also any tips/issues I should be aware of with these cars?

Thanks for any advice in advance!

just put the roof down

I sold my last one to a tall chap, maybe 6-4 ish and wasn't an issue for him
that lump in the roof is funny tho

Checkout the S2000 forum and another

I'm 6ft2 and when I finally got to sit in one at the Honda dealer my eyes were level with the sun visor and I couldn't see a thing. I was so disappointed! The seat may have adjusted a bit but not enough, also I'm quite "big built" so it all felt a little claustrophobic. I'd still go and try one though, just in case.

I'm 6'4" with a bit of a beer belly (powerfully built?) andI fitted in mine ok.... Drove down to LeMans in it and was fine.

Infact I'm considering another.

Depends where your height is - there is a lot of leg room avaliable, but the seat is not height adjustable so if you have a tall body your stuck.

6ft 2 - no problem whatsoever.

There's not THAT much extra legroom (5'10" and only had ~2-3in behind me) - at 6'6" the OP probably out of luck, either head- or legroom.

By all means sit in one, but don't set your heart on it - it was definitely designed for a Japanese driver, not a 99th percentile UK one.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I REALLY wanted one but doesn't sound positive. Might go and try one, may be a CTR instead if not!

I'm 6'1" with quite long legs and I could only get comfortable in mine after I got some of the seat-back padding removed (it gave me about an extra inch of leg room). For a laugh we got a 6'5"/23 stone mate in & there was no way he could have driven in it.

hi i am 6ft and i fit very comfortable i would say a few inches would be ok but not much more .
i just bought my s2000 last week great car so fun to drive

just ordered side skirts and front spats . looking to get some alloys . seen a gold multi spoke pair any thought?

6ft here, and i can fit in the S2000 fine, i wouldn't want to be taller (or fatter) when it comes to the S2000 as i would imagine i'd have trouble getting in and out.
