Well Germans certainly aren't small people and their cars match that. Even tall people can fit in a Boxster.

Yes and no. I reviewed a 2007 Boxster several months ago, and, while not quite a sardine can like the last-generation Miata, it was a little tight for my 6' 2" 280-lb. frame, especially with my ubiquitous baseball cap. But I had no real problems driving it.

I hear your pain. I'm 6'4, and S2000 and SC430 are two of my favorite cars, and I can barely fit into either one. I was seriously thinking about trading my GS for SC, but that idea is out after I test drove one. Love everything about it, but it's simply too small.

my vote goes for an E46 330i ZHP.
and what about a Z33? its sportier with a shorter wheel base than the CPV35.

OP asked for Sports Coupes.

For Sports Coupes, I might suggest Mercedes CLK, BMW 335i, or wait for the Audi A/S5. For real Performance Coupes, curretly I think Porsche Cayman or even Corvette Z06.

It's a shame you can't fit in an S2000. It's an awesome car to toss around. The engine begs to be revved!!

My friend is 6'1 200lbs and he fits in the S2000 perfectly fine

ahh, in that case id recco and RS4.


all of my uselessness aside, how about a Z car, decently used Supra TT, or perhaps Merc CLK (not the SLK, old ones are a tad girly).

MKIV Supra TT's are VERY roomy in the front, about as much as a GS.
