Im 6'6" and I sometimes hit my head on the way in and out. Plenty of head room once inside though..The worst part is that there is no way to look sexy getting into the car..Can just imagine how goofy the 6'9" homey above looks getting in and out ..Always get the snickering from chicks when I get in and out.......The lauging stops for some reason when I leave them at the bus stop...

6'6"+ and no problems, not even getting in & out. I haven't hit my head in the 16 months I've owned the car. Perhaps it's just my natural grace and agility . . .

I'm 6'4", no problems at all. You just need to put the seat back and recline it, and you'll be in good shape. My head doesn't come close to the roof, but then again, I'm all legs.

im 6'5'' and i couldnt get the roadster bc the seat wont go back as far bc theres that little wall there for when the top folds down. I have an 03 Touring and i have the seat all the way back and the back of the seal reclined a little and im fine. I can wear a hat and have no issues with it touching the roof. Mine is a daily driver and a 6speed and i feel it has more room then other cars bc theres no back seat

Wow, there's actually a lot of tall people here. I am 6'6" and it's really fine. I have the seat all the way back obviously and the wheel all the way up or else my knees would hit it. I think I'm different though because most of my height is in my legs and not in my torso, because my hair never hits. So it all really depends where your height is located. There really isn't any kind of a problem for me though.

No, This topic has never been discussed in the past.

Man Blow me I was just asking becasue Im may not be as rich as you are so when I buy cars I have to know from others that are my height how comfortable the car feels after the excitment. My wife has an Accord and my knees are in right on the steering wheel. Maybe you are short and buy this type of car for your lack of size though. Its ok Napoleon. If you were not interested in the post dont read it. well I will not get upset with you and fall into ignorance. Im sorry I did not realize I was not the only tall person in the the world and 6'4" is not tall.

M-V, i looked into lowering the stock seats or aftermarket seats. From what i found you can't use any of the aftermarket "ultra low seat rails" on the stock seats, the ones from Bride or Nigasa(sp?, some weird name). What does apparently work is getting aftermarket seats with low rails. I don't feel like finding the original info but from what i remember you will get an extra 1.5" of headroom by going to Bride seats.

188 centimeters and no room problems. A little more space would be nice but much more comfortable than an s2000.
