Can I fit in an s2000?
So I am deciding on whether to buy an s2000 or a 350z. My friend has a 350z and I have been test driving it , and it's a pretty awesome ride, and I fit in it pretty snug, not to where I can't breathe, but not to where I have a ton of space to move around. My question is, I am a 6ft 2 inch 240 pound guy, can I fit comfortably in an s2000. I know most of you will say that I should go and test drive one to find out, but I was wondering if any of you s2000 drivers are around my height/weight so you could give me some advice. Of course no matter what I will definately test drive the s2000, but if all of you tell me I won't fit, then I won't even waste my time going to the dealer, thanks for your help guys.

If it feels snug in the test drive, it will get worse day to day.
It felt roomy for me on the test drive, I'm only 5'5" but about 190.
Day to day its a little snug, I think its worth it.

I am 6' 180ish and I fit fine....plenty of wiggle room. My friend is 6'6", but is thin as a rail, but head room is not an issue with him. Just move seat a bit forward from full back, and lean back a bit.
You will really have to test drive one to tell for sure. It really depends on you measurements (waist, chest, shoulders) and how you carry those 240 lbs.
Go take a test drive. Make sure you test drive a car that you are not going to buy, because you want to taste VTEC, but not on your car, because you will probably want to observe the break in period properly.

I'm 6'2" and 220LB. I have less space in the S2000 than in the Lotus Elise (or the Ferrari, for that matter).
As we speak I'm having the seat rails removed to lower the seat. Also, I hate that I cannot pull up my left knee between the steering wheel and the door handle, so I'm having the door handle replaced with a leather pull strap (will show pictures when its done).

I am 6' around 240 and have no problems. I also have a 2002 which apparently has a slightly smaller seating area than the 04+. I have also owned a 350z which definitely had more room. This car is designed to fit like a glove,however, and is a blast to drive. Definitely worth going for a test drive.

i'm 6'4" 240lbs and it's my daily driver. it's defineately a snug fit but that's the way i like it. on long trips it gets a bit cramped but that's what rest stops are for.

Thanks a lot for your help guys, like I said before either way I am going to test drive it for sure, I was just curious if it was even worth my time. It seems like most of you that replied are 6ft and 220-240 so that makes me feel a lot better. The only comment that scares me is this one
