Im only 5 10, but i have a friend who is 6'6 who rides with me alot, hes a lil jammed up in there, but your only 6'2 so i dont think you will have a problem. Theres a thread on this site, where somone asks the same question with alot of replies, its shouldnt be hard to find, i think you find out what you want to know if you look.

There you go, this is link to the other thread. Hope you find out what you want to know. Also if you get an s2000, get an 02 or newer with glass back window, 99-01 have crappy green plastic windows.

Good Luck

With all it's body parts removed it'll fit in the bed of an El Camino (Okay . . . . with a li'l persuasion n' a large ballpeen)
Wadded into an unshapely mass against an immovable object it'll fill 4 ashtrays.
Melted down into molten metal it'd fill 9 55 gallon fish tanks (don't try this at home).
In it's skivvies it weighs in as a feather weight.
On windy days you can hide in the shadow of a sportbike.
It's not the recepticle-of-choice if your job requires the transportation of stiffs in'a trunk.

Jus' go sit in one.

I'm 6' 185lb and I fit fine. My daily driver is a full size pickup, so when I get in the 'S' it's obviously very different. Feels more like I'm part of the car. If you're looking for a true sports car, it's the best roadster you'll find for the money and max's out the fun-o-meter.

Like Java says........Jus' go sit it one.

[SoMe0nE2tAlK2]

I'm 5'5" and 110lbs myself (yes very small). I do have to say that the car probably can fit someone tall because I personally have the seat pretty far up. And headroom isnt an issue at all. Especially as a convertible.

The only problem i could ever forsee is the fact that there'se not much room from side to side and also under the steering wheel (its not adjustable).

[s2000gb]

im 6' 3" and i fit good. Wish there was a little more leg room but what can you do

[Java Junky]

Gb, wanna appreciate the legroom? Go sit in'a Miata.

[Deyan]

thanks guys i appreciate it

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!

Scoot, we should push-pin that post up on the site wall for future reference.

Im 6' and 300 pounds and I fit fine, legs are bit cramped but not enough to bother me. Headroom is better than a 06 up Miata but the 06 up Miata has more legroom and definately more storage areas with a real glovebox. Both have similar widths inside though.

but those are 2 different levels of cars lol

350Z is around s2k level IMO
350Z has a lot more room though :/

I'm just over 6ft 5in and i'm settling nicely into my s2000 CR. I was worried with the addition of the hard top that I wouldn't fit. However, I do fit. sometimes my hair is a little spikey and I can feel it rub the roof, but otherwise no problems. I only weigh about 190 pounds so I think that makes it a little easier to get in and out.

[Ghostface]

holy crap 6'5... and youre fine??!!

im 6'1 165 pounds and i have trouble getting in and out of my S2k, i have to bend my knees a little with the chair all the way back. Getting in and out is a little annoying cause I have to struggle a bit to get out and in. The car is really low to the ground. Other then that when you are driving you get used to the small interior. the car overall fits me like a glove.

[SoMe0nE2tAlK2]

Haha yea, Gettin out of the S2K is always a hassle. What I've been doin so far is gettin my feet up to the platform with the S2000 logo thing and then stepping out. I mainly do this because I'm worried about wearing out the left leg support on the seat. I hear seats are expensive to replace

[philiam]

I don't get it. I'm 6 ft. 190 and get in and out, no problem. Younger generation, sheesh

[Java Junky]

When you bought it, were any of you approached by the salesman n' asked if you wanted the optional Stewie shoe-horn?

[s2000isu]

I am 5 '11" 220 and I fit fine. My knees come alot closer to the steering wheel then id normally like.

[Java Junky]

I jus' know that you're solution to that "knee" problem'z gonna play out into more HP somehow. Jus' a guess.

Dang, i would've taken 2

[Java Junky]

Umm-m-m-m . . no. Only the optional cheek-horns come in pairs.
You guys weren't given the full list'a options, were yuz?

[SoMe0nE2tAlK2]

Nope i was too busy talking my way out of the extended waranty. I think they gave up on me

[Pablo]

I think the instruction manual should include a section on how to get in and out of Stewie. It may even require two chapters one for top up and one for top down.
