Will try to test drive one tomorrow and report back.
Did you sit in the driver or passenger side of the S2000? I'm 6'2", 225 lbs and I fit great in an S2000 (I've done numerous 12 hour+ stints in the car). Passenger side is a bit harder because you have less leg room.

Miata is a bit tighter fit but doable. My 6'4" boss drives a Miata, so it can't be too hard to get in and out of.

Also, if you fit, the Miata is by far the best choice for your criteria.

Avoid DSMs - too many things to break. 240SX would be good, but they're getting harder to find at a low price, and are more expensive to fix when you bend it up.

I agree with the Miata, but take the EVO out once, it will blow your mind!
