Any 6 foot+ drivers out there?
 
Hey guys,
Thinking about getting the 370 but had a few questions....
I am 6 ft 2 and am a little concerned how I will fit in the Z...
Anybody out there that is tall and had issues or no issues???
This would be my first true sports car... I currently have an 05 altima SE-R...
Was it hard getting used the smaller windshield and rear glass???
Is there enough headroom??
Do you fit comfortably?
Thanks for any help answering these questions

I do not own yet (waiting for one to come in), but I am 6'3-4" and did not have any problems. It took me a few minutes to get the seat in a good solid position I felt comfortable in, but once there it was solid. The viewing space is different when I test drove, but not something that really bad, just different.

I'm 6'2'' and I don't have any problem with headroom. Just watch your head getting in and out of the car.

I'm 6', 200lbs. No problem here. I think the fitment issue is more if you have really wide lats or something. The seats might be a tad uncomfy then.

im 6' 145 pounds. My friend is 6'3 or 6'4 and 195 pounds athletic build. Both of us fit with ease and have no complaints.

Did you test drive your Altima before purchasing it? Go to the Nissan dealership and test drive the 370Z.

Hi, I'm 6'3" and skinny, but with an athletic build (shoulders). I have a short lower body and long legs. After putting the seat all the way back, I am just fine. But if you have wide shoulders, you might have an issue with the backrests, as they are pretty narrow. Even for a skinny guy like me, they took some getting used to.

Just my $.02.

I'm 6'1 and fit comfortably with an inch or 2 to spare. With racing helmet on it does rest against the roof though.

6ft.2 here and plenty of room.

6 foot 2 here, 225 pounds. pure asian. not that it matters. what matters is that I fit and its really comfortable.

thanks for the responses guys... I actually got to sit in one today and you guys are right, i fit in w/ no problems...
I guess my follow up question would be for people that came from a larger car to the small sports car world, did it take long to get used to such a small cockpit like area (feeling a little cramped in) and the smaller windshield/viewing area or is it all in my head?
thanks
