How tall are you? And how is the comfort level in the Z for us taller guys
 
I orderd my Z and it should arrive within 3 months (2010 model)

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 a bit of a big guy (unfortunately I don't really mean height as I'm only 5'9") but I can tell you the Z is not the most comfortable car in the world. For me it's because there just isn't that many places to put your legs!

That said, I've done a few single driving days of 700+ miles and survived just fine!

midget 11-19-2009 04:44 PM

6'6" here and I just barely fit. I have the seat all the way back and down and I have about an inch of head room when I lean all the way back. That being said it works just fine for me.

Nick911sc 11-19-2009 04:45 PM

6ft and no issues. If anything I think someone MUCH taller would fit rather comfortably in this car. If anything I feel it also eliminates some of the side mirror blind spot issues I've heard people complain about.

:icon14: 6'6 and you can still get in and out? wow man. i thought it was going to be a tight fit for me.lol

cptspeed 11-19-2009 04:54 PM

6'4" 230. No probs here. Better than an s2000.

370Zsteve 11-19-2009 04:57 PM

5' 11" 170 lbs - fits like a glove.

elmz 11-19-2009 05:02 PM

5'7 135 lbs no issues here.

Red370 11-19-2009 05:03 PM

6ft, 175, I love how it feels. You almost become a part of the car, thats what I love about it, it holds you.

This is shocking info. i didnt really expect anyone over 6'3 to fit in this car? im in Canada are you guys going by 6 feet and w/e inches? Is it the same for measurements lol

GTRFAN 11-19-2009 05:11 PM

6'2 or 188cm - No problems at all. I just have the seat about three quarters back and the base of the seat angled really low at the back and a little higher under the knees. Headroom has never been an issue, although if these had sunroofs that would change things.

It does feel claustrophobic at first, but after a week you don't think twice about it.

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.

Endgame 11-19-2009 05:16 PM

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....

imag 11-19-2009 06:02 PM

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...

bradz 11-19-2009 06:33 PM

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

lovethe370z 11-19-2009 06:36 PM

6' 1" and find it very comfortable.

cptspeed yes, S2000 was crap in comparison lol

drZ 11-20-2009 10:24 AM

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.

:crying:

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.

Shift 11-20-2009 12:33 PM

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 =/

BrianZ 11-20-2009 01:56 PM

6'4" 220, I fit better in the Z than I did in the G37 coupe. Watch your head when you get in, haha.

SlikNik 11-20-2009 02:21 PM

6'1" 190lbs Comfy as hell.

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:roflpuke2: 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)

It's not too bad. That being said I crawl in and out of armored vehicles on a fairly regular basis, so the Z feels like a Cadillac in comparison. :happydance:

Chan Chee Hoe 11-22-2009 02:02 AM

Me 171 cm[5'8],feels comfortable,but this car badly needs a steering wheel that can adjust for reach[telescopic],it will make it more comfortable for people with big belly...

I can't beleive you fit in an S2000, I'm 6'6'' and my head was clear above the windsheild in that car, I felt like big bird in a clown car.

As far as fitting in the Z, I fit pretty well in it at 6'6'', its not easy getting out but I still fit inside pretty good. I haven't been in the car with my helmet on yet so that might be a problem, I might have to modify the seat height to fit comfortably with a helmet on.

theDreamer 11-22-2009 11:17 AM

6'4" here, it is a nice fit, I would like to lower the stock seats if possible but 90% of the time it never bothers me.

I'm 6'5 225lbs, I live in Canada so I know we're using the same measurements, and I fit inside comfortably as long as I have the seat back as far as it goes.

j.arnaldo 11-25-2009 01:47 PM

5'11", and no problemo with ergonomics in my 350Z!

Room42 11-27-2009 08:39 PM

Another 5'11 - 145 - feels good. Almost need a few more pounds to take full advantage of the thigh pads and actually feel small looking over the dash. But headroom, reach, seat position - all ok.

PapoZalsa 11-27-2009 09:28 PM

I'm 6Ft 185 lbs and for some reason the leg room in a Touring is less than the base. I guess is the auto seats. That is why I don't want a Touring, I want to be able to get the seat all the way back.

DooDooBrown 11-28-2009 09:35 PM

I am 6'2, no complaints here!

123 12-30-2009 10:32 PM

Has anyone 6'5'' or taller tried tracking the 370z with a helmet on? How comfortable was it? And any clearance between the helmet and the roof??

quadsbaby 12-31-2009 12:55 AM

6'2" checking in, I had plenty of room in the Z
