Am I too big?
Hi all
I already own an Accord Coupe and a Vtec Prelude and I would really like to buy an S800 Coupe.
Question is, I am 6ft 1in and 16 stone - will I fit in it?

6ft 2in and 17 stone - no problem for me. Surprising amount of room providing you can get down low enough for the coupe

Re: Am I too big?
I fit in OK at 6 ft and half an inch and weight of 14 stone 9lb.
BUT recently my back has been playing up when driving the car. Not sure if the two things are related though - could just be the old back is a little 'knack****'
There is generally better headroom in the coupe. The original seats are thin and give you the most room. Beware of replacement seats as these can cut down the available space a lot.
Remember though that the cars are quite low down although most of us develop a technique for getting in and out. Easier to get into than an Elise which a mate of mine likened to climbing into a letter box!!

Just to add - Jeremy Clarkson fitted in a convertible (although his head did jut above the windscreen) and he is 6 feet 4 inches I believe!
