That's odd- I remember watching a Motortrend video where the Test driver states that he is 6' 4" and fits in the NSX. He states that the seats were some of the best he has sat in.

don't know. maybe the proportions have changed somewhat in the 13 years the car has been around. Or maybe people don't mind that their head only hits when it is back on the seat as this is not the usual driving position. All i can say is that i surely don't fit.
There is also no way i would buy a car that i don't fit in with the hopes of modifying it so that i do. Imagine if for whatever reason the seat cushion does not help or is not comfortable and i'm stuck with a 799/month payment for a car that is not comfortable. Or do you expect me to buy a $250 cushion for a car i don't own and then bring it to the dealer to see if it works? Either way it is much too much of a hassle when there are so many cars available that i do fit in. It just didn't work but there are other fish in the sea.

Surely you drove a NSX before, did you notice the headroom?
I'm the same size as Steve, my head was like 1" from the roof. I fit technically, but it's too close for comfort. It's like I'm aware the roof is too close.

I drive my brother's NSX regularly. I'm 6' 180, and if i sit up straight, with my head against the seat rest it hits the roof, i have to slouch when i drive the car, or have my head towards the middle of the roof. And this is in a fixed roof NSX that has the roof indentations for peoples heads. Not even sure if the Targa is smaller inside...

yeah i fit well in the GT2. I will probably end up driving it for a few months until i find something else. It is not an ideal every day ride however.
