Took an S for a test drive yesterday and am still speechless. It's everything you guys said it was. However, I think after driving it for more than a half hour, my leg would go insane from being wedged into the dash like that. I'm around 6'3, but i'm pretty disproportional (my legs are way longer than my brother's, who is around my height). I was wondering if there was a track that the seat is on that could be removed for 2-3 inches or if there were any other tricks you tall s2000 drivers (and I know there are a bunch of you) have to get comfortable heel-toe action. Or else, i'm going to have to spend some money to get leg shortening surgery!

I'm 6'6" and have a few tricks. I wear shoes that I can easily slip off, and do this each time I get in. I place them just in front of the seat angled @45 degrees and tucked into the seat. Seat all the way back (duh) and seat also completely upright. Radio door ALWAYS closed otherwise you will have a hole in your knee. You cannot slouch, and every so often reposition yourself by pushing your butt back as far as it can go into the seat. A (not too smart) but real cramp reliever is to use the cruise control (long open road....be safe here) and you can actually move your right leg beyond the gas pedal and stretch it out fully. NOT for cruising along, just a quick cramp relief in case your leg is about to start jerking in spasms. Two more issues you should know. If you are not going to keep the shiny side up, you are going to have to duck VERY quickly as the roll bars are lower than the top of your head. The other large and constant issue is the rear view mirror on the windshield. It is a really nasty blind spot for intersecting traffic on your right, especially those roads that are a bit higher than you (cars coming down off ramps etc.)

By the way, one of the reasons I bought the car is that I CAN fit in it. None of the things I've said are needed to drive it, but I'm sharing some little comfort tricks.

Good luck!

I'm 6'2", and find that I have to assume a yoga position to see the traffic lights over the intersections.

I have read the following thread:

I haven't gathered the nerve to try it yet, but it does give you an idea of some steps that can be taken.
