I first sat in one in fall 2000 (in a showroom - they only had one and wouldn't let it out!) just for fun, but --- I fit! At 6-2 I didn't think that likely but it had me then because I did. 5 years later my wife found a used one advertised with Honda Care still and I went to the dealer to check it out.
I was extremely disappointed. I didn't quite fit, although I loved the look and it ran very nicely. The salesdude was clueless (I had to show him how to start it AND how to get the top open) (both first times for me).
Finally I pulled over to work on the seat, because I KNEW it would work... I slid the seat forward one notch and then pulled the back back - WHAM I slid down and fit perfectly. No knees hitting anything, legs just right, arms comfortable, I pulled into traffic and was comfortable enough to really check out the handling.

I bought it that night!
