2005 | 2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD |
Seats are aggressively bolstered, but fit very comfortably. I am a 6 foot tall slightly overweight male. The seat adjusts adequately to my height, unlike several other convertibles I have driven. see full Honda S2000 review |

Fits taller people than other roadsters I have tried. Probably comparable with modern BMW Z4 but I did not try that. see full Honda S2000 review |

I'm 6' tall with a 33" inseam, 149 lbs, 30" waist. I fit exactly in every direction. The hip width of the seats is exactly mine, the seat is all the way back, and the back is ever so slightly tipped upwards from full back. Comfortable but see full Honda S2000 review |

I'm 5' 9" and 185# and of average frame proportions. The seat bolsters are Proportioned for the Asian torso. So, the average-to-large European butt isn't going to appreciate the tight seat bolsters. This is why the bolsters quickly break down and need re-padding with firm foam. see full Honda S2000 review |

Good lumbar and side support, nicely adjustable seat and wheel. Shifter is very close to the wheel. Fits me like a glove, but my wife does find the seatback slightly tall. see full Honda Civic review |

It took me a long time to find a comfortable driving position in this car. It may because of the low seat. I was finally (mostly) successful, but it took a long time to find it, and it is very different than my typical driving position. Also, not great on long trips -- the seat is generally supportive, but it starts to break down a few hours in. see full Honda Civic review |

No access from trunk area. Also, very strong chemical smell in vehicle...off gassing from fabrics. The prius did not have near the smell. see full Honda Civic review |
