TypeOne, I'm about your size but the 370z will be enormous compared to my current car.

Trust me... I've had my fair share of small cars. I've had a CRX, Del Sol...

I don't really think it is the room for me.. that isn't really a problem. It is much better than a Miata, S2000 or a Lotus...

I think it is a lack of room for anything else is what gets me. But then again... it's not made to haul **** around so it's not the cars fault.

I can relate to that. I had to jam two bumpers for a Prelude into my car and drive them to a bodyshop. I'm glad I have a little Nissan truck to do that now.

Yea, like I said... it's not really room for me. It's just space to put stuff I guess... maybe a little harder to live with on a daily basis than I originally thought. Everyone I talked to said it as small.. but I didn't listen. LOL

I don't regret buying my Z at all, I'm only 5'9 160lbs and I find it to be a LIL annoying getting in and out of it, but it is also my DD for the time being, I'm sure it'll go away once I get a commuter? As far as comfort i love being in it!!!

Maybe you should of thought it through before purchasing a sports car. lol

Anyways, I had a teacher a few years back that was like 6'5" and he owned a Z4. When he told the class that we were all amazed at how he was able to fit that. He seemed very happy with that car and was happy to say he fit in that thing.

You do what's going to make you happy, man. Maybe right now it's knowing you have options that's fun. ..and if you were fit you could backflip in and out of the car don't give me that I keed

I get what you are saying. I ride a motorcycle most of the time. I got the Z for a bad weather car. I don't really like riding 30 miles one way to work when it is below 20*F or in the snow and ice. It is easier to go grocery shopping when you can haul more than a back packs worth. I couldn't get by with just a bike and a 2 seater if I didn't have my bros pick up at my disposal. There are times when ya need to pull a trailor or move a TV or other furniture.
