This is a bit off topic but worth noting. One of the difficulties with the Z is exiting the car in tight parking spots. I'm only 5'7 and getting out can be a pain with the long door and thick door panels. I would imagine it being almost impossible for some one who is over 6ft.

Since I am unlikely to park so near another, it has not been a problem.

Yeah constantly getting in and out of the Z for me (like two three times a day sometimes) does put pressure on my back, especially when I have to try and stand up and get out, in a small opening. LOL. Thats why I always park where there are no cars next to me, so I can swing the door open as far out as need be to get out, but its in my garage I always find it tight, when my other car is parked in there with the Z, its almost impossible to come out but I manage it somehow. I guess with constant practice, you get use to it.

Is this going to make for a big problem or will i just be able to adjust the seat and not worry about it. I usually like to sit with my knees up. Close to where the keys dangle on normal cars. I doubt ill be able to do this in the 370z. Even though i can't do it, will i still feel comfortable?

I am the same height as you. I think longer legs has more options than long torso. Give it a test drive and you will know.

elm-that's because you're in sandiego where parking space is all made for Fiat500's and smart cars.

lol

absolutely a non issue for me. i have 2 coupes in my garage.

elmz · 02-24-2012, 10:09 AM

Good point!

My buddy is 6'2 ~300lbs and drives my Z comfortably, you should be fine. Head over to the Nissan dealer and find out for sure.

LakeShow · 02-24-2012, 12:08 PM

I'm had my friend 6'5 fit in the car. Just play around with the seat controls.

Nick911sc · 02-24-2012, 10:10 AM

I have an empty cardboard box on the driver side wall of my garage so if I have to open the door more to get out I don't have to worry about it touching the wall lol

Zeuz · 02-24-2012, 10:13 AM

i think it has plenty of room. im 5'10 and the seat is up alot . very comfortable for me too even while wearing my boots lol

kenchan · 02-24-2012, 10:13 AM

half of me is thinking that people using the steernig wheel as a handle to get in/out of the car puts extra wear on the steering-lock itself. something to think about.
