Just joined the forums site.

I recently began considering the 370z because I want a small sportscar. (Not into American Muscle)

Originally, I was psyched about the Subaru/Scion BRZ/FR-S. I wasn't happy about the power of that car. I loved it's looks but when I saw it in person I was NOT impressed.

So here I am, looking to educate myself as I come up with some alternate vehicles.

Welcome! You will be happy once you get your Z. There is a lot of info in the forums to help you out.

Welcome! The Z is a very fun car, test drive one and you will want one.... even more!

Welcome! Test drive a Z, you won't leave the dealer without it lol.

Thanks. Now I have to make sure I can fit in this car. I'm 6'2".

Going to head to the dealership shortly after my coffee.

You will be able to get into the car.

I know I'll be able to get in. It's more of a matter of being able to get out lol. Actually, I want to make sure I'm comfortable. I'd be interested in a touring sport model.

I understand. I'm about 6'0'' or 6'1'' & it isn't too bad.

Okay so I test drove a 370z today. I really like the car. There is one thing I can't get past. My right leg needs more room. There is no room between the top of my right leg and the steering wheel. Also I would like to be able to stretch my right out on longer drives. The salesperson said that he could see if they could shorten the length of the gas pedal and brake.

Anyone have to do this?

Tusabe · 04-30-2012, 09:51 PM

I know everyone is different but I'm 6'2 and I like the snug feel. I'm push the seat in a little because when I push the car to the limit, I want to be able to react right away. I used to own a BMW Z3 and I felt that it was roomy despite the fact that it was a small car. The 370z is more roomy than the Z3. When I test drove the 370z, I had to have it!

How good can one react when the wheel hits your leg

Well not your leg. My leg lol

Sorry bro. When it comes to making a purchase like that, everything has to feel right. Imop, I love it. This is my dream car.

ngabdala · 04-30-2012, 10:10 PM

I agree bro. Actually, I've been looking around , it appears people with my problem are putting a racing steering wheel on with a smaller diameter.

Maybe nissan can rig the audio/bluetooth/voice controls to the wheel ...hmmm
