Tall drivers.

Rone · 01-16-2011, 03:56 PM

What's up ladies and gents? The wife and I are seriously considering picking up a 370z when I get back from my deployment next January.

My question is how well do you think I'll fit in that car, being 6'4"? lol. Even if it's not comfortable for me, the wife can still enjoy it, and I'll just watch

I haven't visited the dealer for the test drive because I don't want to be pressured into buying it right now (I know this is the best way to answer my question). I want to try to sell one of my cars (06 Altima) myself so I can get a little more money than I would from a trade-in, but trading in is not out of the question, since its paid off.

6'4" here and I fit fine.
I drive from Houston to Austin and by the end of the drive I am ready to get out, but that is a 2 hour drive. Driving around town, Houston, I rarely feel uncomfortable.

I am 6'4" as well and I fit comfortably

tjlazer · 01-16-2011, 04:14 PM

6'4" 225 lbs here. Fit good but the legs can make it hard getting in and out.

Rone · 01-16-2011, 04:15 PM

You guys have no idea how much I wanted to hear that. lol

onzedge · 01-16-2011, 04:33 PM

I am 6-5 and do not have a problem. There is a technique to master for entering and exiting that is easy to figure out.

SPOHN · 01-16-2011, 04:50 PM

If someone was to ask me if a 6-5 guy would fit I would almost think no. But it's obvious you guys do. Do you guys have to sit more straight up though.

Technique? Throw both legs in at once? lol j/k. From the feedback I've gotten, I'm confident that I'll be fine.
