Good point!

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

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.

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

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.

oooo.... i expected something different when i read the title.....

I am 6'4 with long legs. I have the base car. So no leather seats. I fit perfectly fine, no problem pressing the clutch even. the head room is very good too IMO, more than what i though

Its a two seater in the end so room should not be too bad. i test fitted my self in my local dealers car. highly recommend doing that .

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.

I am 6'2" and the Z is pretty tight, you have to have the driver seat slightly reclined to fit in it, with the seat all the way back. If I try and put the seat in a more forward position, my head hits the headliner and it forces my chin actually down. Leg room side to side is pretty tight to, not much room to move around. I would actually rate it as sitting in an economy seat on an overseas flight. Anymore than 2hrs. in the seats on a Z and you have to get out of it and move around. My old 2005 sentra has more comfortable seats and leg room. So I won't rate the 370z as a good long distance touring car, a corvette is actually a lot better for height and leg room and long distance comfort. If your worried about leg room and height a infinity G35 coupe.

I'm 6'6'' and 230lbs and I fit comfortably. For someone much taller then 6'6'' I think the fit would be a bit tight when it comes to head clearance.
