370z seating question. please help

juan05

ok so here is the deal im planning on to buy a 370z. silver with the sports package. i went to see it like an hour ago at the dealership. the only problem is im 5'8 height and when i sit on the driver seat. i cannot see above the drivers wheel. is there anything i can do to fix this problem? because im in love with the car. and i really wanted is only the seating thats giving me a problem.

The seat itself has adjustments up and down on the LEFT side of the seat. The steering wheel can be adjusted up and down also. That adjustment in under the steering column, close to the dash. I am sure that once you have made the adjustments you will be able to see and love to drive it. I can't understand why the salesman didn't point those out to you???

yeah he dint point it out to me i was feeling kind of bad afterwards because i really liked it but the driving wheel was soo up im like omg how im i going to drive this car. but im probably going to the dealership tomorrow to look at it again. thanks for the advice. oh and i did try to bring the seat up. and dint work out maybe is just the sterring wheel i have to set up.

most poeples problem is they feel they may be too tall. First time ever i heard of some one saying im to short haha.

Have you ever driven a sports car before? They normaly put you lower in the car so you cant see your own headlights hehe. A civic will put you high high up, i feel like im driving a stage coach or something.

juan05

nope im 17 im turning 18 next month and thats when i plan on getting it. so i guess if i fix the sterring wheel is would be good to go right? how tall are you? just wondering?

frost

My 5'3-ish girl drives the car just fine. She just has to crank the aforementioned control on the left side of the driver seat.

oh and by the way this would be my first car so im really excited.
i drive right now a lexus is 250 and the visibility is great.

oh ok thats great to hear maybe is just the sterring wheel was to high up. i feel better now i was kind of freaking out.

Get use to not seeing your nose. I still can scare the crap out of myself when I park. And I've got a bloody hump in my hood!

I love to occasionally drive my sisters Fit, it's like driving a golf cart with a bubble cabin. I park the car like 2 inches from stuff without even trying. It's fun!

Im 6 feet. I can say this, your visablity its going to go down drasticly its a "coupe".

Just gotta be slow for a while and dont make any fast lane changes. Eventualy you will be a pro and use to it. DO NOT PARK UP CLOSE TO ANY THING. You will give your self a curb job. If your use to seeing the front of your nose its gonna be a while before you know your distance in parking infront of curbs.

First week of owning my 2005 350z i curb jobed it very lightly under the bumper, not visible to any one passing by but down on hands and knee's can see it perfectly.

And if you do get it. please dont drive fast (on the street), trust me. You will want to really bad but i promise you at your age it will end badly.

juan05

yea dont worry i wont drive fast intul i can handle the car. i drove it today. silver sport packege. it was really good. i love the car soon i will get it. but yea i fixed the seats and is perfect im in love with the car but i want to know how much the nismo will cost so i can do some price ranges see whats a better deal.

bluzman

I'm 5'-5" and there's more than adequate range in the seat adjustments to make sure I've got no issues with driving visibility.
