That was my first car. It was my dad's car and he then offered it to me when I got my licence.

I loved it and been a Honda groupie since then. Later when I got older I bought my first (and last) new car, the CRX sister, the Honda CRZ. It was really cool too, less Vtec than the CRX but still cool.

Now I don't own a car anymore as I don't need it (walkable city dude), but one day I'll buy an S2000 just for the pleasure.

Must be nice to be little. There's a lot of sports cars I don't fit in; the S2000, sky/solstice, z car (older). At 6'4, I was shocked that I fit perfectly inside an MX-5, and 30 minutes later it was mine. It was the easiest car decision I ever made. And I've had a lot of fun cars.

I’m 183cm (1m83) so that’s 6’ I believe. It never bothered me in the CRX/Z or MX-5. Neither some of our really small cars we have in Europe like Fiat Panda, Renault Twingo etc.

Except the CRZ back seats but those were jokes, it’s more like a 2 adults + 2 kids car rather than a 4 seater.

Now I need to try an S2000 😎

I got in a Saturn sky redline (opel GT) and I fit in the height of the car, but my knees were wedged tight around the steering wheel. I wouldn't have been able to turn, AT ALL. Which is a shame because I've heard that car was a blast. But I now finally have my lightweight rwd 2 seater convertible, and I love it to death. My Corvette wasn't a problem as it was made for fat, rich Americans. But that didn't drive anything like the ND MX-5. And I like the Mazda a lot more. Can't explain why, but I just do.
