How tall are you? And how is the comfort level in the Z for us taller guys

vipor · 11-19-2009, 05:14 PM

6'2 and it's fine. the seat is all the way back then locked in. if the hair is long and extra spikey that day then i might rub a lil, but no big deal.

my gf's g35 coupe is worse. i've got the seat all the way down (front part up a lil to compensate) and i'll rub a lil regardless. opening the moonroof cover helps lol.

i remember sitting in a 350z when they first came out and there wasn't as much head room as there is in the 370.

I am only 5'6 but am built like a Panzer tank or Mike Tyson.. The Z really has a fighter cockpit type feel. Snug but satisfying....

6'2" and I'm actually glad I'm this height - it feels like you need to be a bit tall to look over the mirrors.

I have the seat all the way down because I like being low, and I have enough headroom to wear a helmet. I do wish the wheel telescoped out a bit further; sitting with my hands in proper track position makes my legs a bit tight. That said, it's way better for me than the Cayman, in which my knees were jammed against the dash...

6'0 here. Fits great with no issues of discomfort.

dude your tall for a pinoy.....seem my parents don't have any tall genes....so I'm stuck at the avg. pinoy ht. of 5'6" 5000000lbs

I still want to sit in one and see if I feel comfy. I tried sitting in a 135i and 335i sedan and the seat were too small for me. (or I was too fat for the seats)

6' 1" and find it very comfortable.

cptspeed yes, S2000 was crap in comparison lol

6 3 and no problems its funny that everyone is almost above 6ft tall who has replied

Matt · 11-20-2009, 11:16 AM

I'm 5'8 and feel if I were a little taller, I'd actually be much more comfortable. I have to put the seat SO far forward because I have short legs.

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,

I'm 6' and 295-300lbs. I fit fine...

I have to duck quite a bit to avoid hitting the roof/door interior portion, if I'm wearing a hat, it'll rub when I get in...

I get in by sticking my right leg in, grab the wheel with my right hand, then curl up and slide in sideways.

Getting out, I stick my left leg out to the ground, trying to avoid the door, then pull my right leg out and down while turning sideways, then put my left arm on the upper part of the seat and push myself out.

6'5'' 235 fit is snug but well worth it.
Only after long drives does it seem to get to me, feels like my azz is to wide for the seat.
Knew I should have bought the Miata.

zrider · 11-20-2009, 12:53 PM

6'0 180 lbs. i fit perfectly. I test drove a G35 coupe and for some reason the driver area felt smaller than a Z. call me stupid but it felt a lil more cramped for the driver than a z =/
