6'4 and I fit just fine.

6'3" more headroom than G37 coupe. Leg room is better than a all my old cars.

darkROAM_1 12-31-2009 02:53 PM

I feel as if I don't have enough room to sit they way I like after a long period of time.

I'm 6' even at ~200. I prefer to sit up straight and to do so, I would be right up on the steering wheel w/ the seat all of the way back. I am not really a fan of leaning back, honestly. So, in turn, it's one of the things I really miss about my past Subarus.

Leg room is so-so. Taller people complain when they get in my car and try to move things around. Plus, there's almost no room to put your left leg anywhere comfortable on a long road trip. Even worse if you have cruise on and want to move your right leg a bit as well.

Sounds like alot of complaints for a daily driver but I'm being realistic about my desires. I loved it at first but on trips of 300+miles it gets cramped. So I'm thinking rental/second car for those trips heh.

My question is im 6'1 and, i test drove the car befor i purchased and im comming from a 2004 G35 coupe. The drive feels aloooot different which is fine and expected. And in terms of room it doesnt neccessarily feel like theres less (leg and headroom) but i feel more closterfobic. Which i know its just a matter of getting used to being a 2 seater car.

How tall are you? and how comfortable do you feel in the 370?

Thanks,

6'1", 130lbs, I fit with room to spare.

wow 6'1 and only 130lbs. I cant imagine that.

tjlazer 02-02-2010 10:55 PM

6'4" 220 lbs. And the fit is good except for my right leg. I had a better fit in my G35 Coupe. It had telescoping/tilt wheel tho which helped a lot. One thing I noticed is the flap/fin on the console, it obstructs leg clearance for me. Was thinking about removing that piece or something....

pg6speed 02-02-2010 11:10 PM

6'5" 250lbs its tight getting in and out but once your in its not bad its a snug sporty feel not claustrophobic. My head rubs the roof now and then but its really only a problem when I have my helmet on at the track. This car is worth the tight fit.

Rasengan 02-03-2010 11:47 AM

is the cabin in the roadster much smaller than in the coupe? because i'm 5'8", 160lbs. and i fit just fine except my seat is all the way back and could use an inch or two more space

feelzpwr91 02-03-2010 12:05 PM

im 5'5 (short) 175lbs and i still think its a little tight

stevetibb2000 01-11-2012 08:50 PM

5'4" perfect for me

Investr 01-11-2012 10:36 PM

5-11, 250 lbs, feels good........

Zweb01 01-11-2012 10:39 PM

im 6foot and i take 12 hour car rides home in it 1-2 a year stopping once and the only thing that bothers me is my right *** cheek lol. and when i got back from deployment my dad drove the car down for me and hes 6'7 and he was fine it. and theres a guy that lives by me thats damn close to the size of a pro bodybuiler and hes fine in it.

marrim 01-11-2012 11:16 PM

I'm 6 foot 185 and fit fine. I would say a really wide person would find this seat very unconfortable. Th side bulster are not design for wide people. As for the feel of closterfobia, it not you or your size. A 4 foot person would feel closterfobic in this car. It just the way this car is designed. Windows start high and are short. Many ver large blind spots. Use what ever you can move your self to see more, use the backup camera. The closterfobic feeling you will get used to, but if you drive a sadan for 2 weeks and get back into your Z it will be back for the first ride or 2.

gurneyeagle 01-12-2012 06:48 AM

6'1" and 175 lbs. Love the fit; seats are super comfortable on long drives. Alcantara is like velcro!

Econ 01-12-2012 07:24 AM

I am 6'3" 185 and i fit with room to spare.

Also drove around my baseball player friend who is 6'10", he didnt complain toooo much either

Cristobal09 01-12-2012 07:52 AM

5'8 here, 220lbs, I can take one hour trips here and there, but after an hour, my back starts to hurt a tad.

RoadZter 01-12-2012 08:23 AM

6' 2" 190 here. Fit fine except for getting in and out. Too bad it's not my height making it difficult, it's my age! On long trips (more than 1 hour), I get out and do like a modified caveman walk until my back straightens out (I just make sure there's no one around to me in pain)! lol! The other day, I drove to Dallas in it and had to "roll" out of the car! That's why I take my Titan for long trips. Even with all that, I wouldn't trade my Z in for anything else.

UNKNOWN_370 01-12-2012 08:31 AM

6' 174 athletic lbs. The Z is perfectly cozy without feeling tight or cramped.

dudesky 01-12-2012 08:36 AM

5 10' 160lbs fits like a love :)

B&W_Evader 01-12-2012 10:44 AM

6'5", Only complaint is that the steering wheel is too far forward. Needs a telescoping steering wheel or a aftermarket spacer that's not available for the factory wheel.

Thechidz 01-12-2012 10:55 AM

I'm 6'2" and a stocky 270. Height isnt really a problem just need to lose some weight :p

Unique_Z 01-12-2012 11:17 AM

5' 8 here with 155 lbs. no problem since im not that tall lol

pbhakta 01-12-2012 01:07 PM

I'm 6'2 220 lbs. I used to be 250 lbs and glad i lost a bit of weight to fit into those bucket seats. As far as the height i fit just fine with the seats all the way back and never had an issue with head room.

Pelican170 01-12-2012 01:55 PM

6'0" - 205. Plenty of room for me... Getting out can be tough sometimes lol

dAvenue 01-12-2012 02:06 PM

How tall am I? What the heck is that about? You think you can just waltz in here and stick your nose in my business? I see you, tying to get your hands on my feet and inches. Well, good luck with that!

6'0"

pyrrhus17 01-12-2012 02:32 PM

I am 6'3" and the car is very roomy

nmjaxx9 01-12-2012 02:34 PM

My friends always ask me how I am comfortable in the Z as I am 6'4, but surprisingly the Z has more leg room then my altima. :tup:

Mt Tam I am 01-12-2012 03:24 PM

I am 6'3" and have more head room than my 300ZX. No more bashing my head on hard right turns. Still a bit small for a helmet, but I adjust the seat to less than 100% comfortable, but certainally tolerable for awhile.

TerribleONE 01-12-2012 03:40 PM

6'3 and it feels great to me!! Just as much leg room as my G37 had..

Dzel 01-12-2012 03:45 PM

I'm 5'11" 250 mostly solid:ughdance: I have the one hand on the door frame and lift myself out with both my arm and my legs. I have a bad left knee hence the cool slide out maneuver:tiphat:

Supergoji 01-13-2012 02:21 AM

6'5, 235lbs. feels a little bit cramped. my head sometimes hits the roof whenever I drive one.

shaun66 01-13-2012 10:34 AM

6'3" Ok in shoes, but with boots on it's a beotch sometimes.

keb370z 01-13-2012 11:24 AM

Being a bit taller might help. I'm 5'7" and need to sit up and lean forward to see past the mirror on some left turns.

The claustrophobia of it only takes a few weeks before it changed and the car became an extension of my body. Now I think I could parallel park it blindfolded.

And now it's hard to drive cars with better visibility and higher seating. It just feels.. wrong.
